Right, so I THINK that’s just about everyone. If you have been tagged, that means that you are either an active member of the WFWF, once were an active member back when I was running the show, are a legend, or are someone I openly remember being active even if for a little bit during my decade tenure here.

Here’s the deal, peeps. At one point, EVERY SINGLE ONE of you had something in common. You were all part of the WFWF. To all of us, the WFWF means something a little different. Some of you have nothing but great memories, some of you have bittersweet. Some of you loved everyone, some found themselves at odds at times. I made sure to tag everyone that I knew was still semi active on WF so I could at least get a viewing audience for this.

So I was talking with Brennan a couple of days ago, and it was hinted at that there are some serious participation issues when it comes to activity. I noticed when the deadline rolled in that the turnout was…yikes. It has been this way for a bit now. I talked with Drakz via PM and he was reluctant to admit that the WFWF is falling off the rails entirely, but he was nonetheless wary. So I’m going to be frank.

I look at the WFWF right now, and as Stone said to me on Facebook earlier; the board is hanging on by a thin thread. I would go as far as to say that we are dying. As EVERY ONE of you know, I’ll be damned if I let that happen without a fight. So what am I asking, exactly?

Some of you are already active and there is no issue whatsoever. Some of you come and go. Some of you have not been active in years. Some of you may forget that you were at one time active here. I would like to change that, somehow.

If you are already on the active roster: I’m begging, please keep up doing what you can. Keep showing. Keep trying your best. If you can, ask around to people you talk with here on WF or on other forums that like wrestling or like writing and would want to give this a shot. We need the numbers and the dedication. We need your help.

If you are a semi-active member: Please let us know in this thread roughly what your schedule looks like so Trace and Drakz can try to plan accordingly. Kyzer, you are exempt from this part. That being said, if you can help bring in new blood from people who you know on WF or from other feds that would be amazing.

If you are a retired member: I’m not necessarily asking you to come back. This is namely directed at E and ZMaster; but sh*t, literally ANYTHING you guys could do to help this place would be great. If you’d be willing to reply to RPs every now and then, help with brainstorming ideas for storylines and taking a creative role without RPing, bringing in any old names you have contacts with that might consider coming in/coming back. ANYTHING.

If you are someone who is wondering why you are tagged: You were tagged for a reason. Everyone knows I follow WF’s pulse pretty well. It kind of comes along with my job as an admin. But I know you lurk on WF or at least are somewhat active because I flow through the entire forum constantly...red name forces it. Heh. Y’all are good people. At one point, you were willing to sign up with a character here whether I asked you to join WFWF or you found us entirely on your own. Something got you in here. I would like to find out what that was and hopefully get you back, even if you just want to give the WFWF a second shot. Or if you know someone that would enjoy WFWF; wrestling fan or writer, ask them. Poke around the board. See what it’s like now compared to what it was like when you were here back when. If you give us a shot again, you won’t regret it. Our storylines can be out of this world, and so can your characters and the fun you can have. You just have to have that desire to want to write.

Long story short, this is as close to begging as I can get. I’ve had good times with most all of you. I’ve had bad times with some of you. But at one point, regardless, we all were here for one reason: fun. I’d like to bring that back. The only way to bring fun back, however, is with more people. More people means more participation. More participation means more fun stories and matches. All of that leads to a damn good time if you like this kind of thing; and at one point you all did for me to have your name listed here.

This was sort of long winded, I know. But I just wanted to reach out to anyone and everyone I could think of that is still on WF that would want to help make sure this place does not die out. The WFWF has been here for 15 years, and for some of us, the ability to write here is our release from life even for a few hours while we put together our RPs. To some of us, it means even more. Please don’t let us fail after all this time. This place has come so far because of every single one of you, whether you posted one RP or 100 RPs. Never won a match, or went two years undefeated. But most importantly, this place cannot fail because despite the drama in this post, it’s a ing hella fun place when you just RP and chat with other like-minded folks.

Thanks,

Shawn.
