I think it sounds like a great idea, but who would post

Why sign up when there isn't many people around to sign up?
Plus outsiders that COULD join the board and help us, will probably not get the point, or will not do promos.

I think, if anything, I could ask to post something in the lounge area to get people to come in and sign up. I don't see the problem in trying!

Honestly, everyone gets all excited to do signups and then quit after a week. I don't see the point of trying almost every month trying to do something that requires several people to do something knowing that people can't keep with it for whatever reason.

Can't believe how 'glass half empty' the mentality on this board is sometimes. Honestly, everyone hypes about wanting the board to be booming and active, yet when ideas are suggested they're just shot down with whatever 'reality' will apparently happen. We don't know till we try guys, think we need to start having a bit more of a positive outlook on here. We don't need to look further a field for new writers, though some would be nice, because we have plenty of good ones here already.
And no, I'm not starting something. I'm just a bit tired of everything on here being really 'oh this won't work, this won't stick' when nobody really gives anything a reasonable amount of time to work out. Where's the harm in trying guys? The SWA was working out fine, granted the turnout wasn't great, but the content was awesome, yet everyone decided it would be a better idea to stop altogether. I probably did some of my best writing in what I handed in to that, yet nobody will remember that. This is why we need other things that aren't diaries, so people like me who really haven't showed what we're capable of yet have somewhere to showcase talents that are otherwise hidden.
Sorry, I'm ranting, I'll stop. I just think we need to dip the entire foot in the cold water, not just the toe.
Edit: The line in the sig is tongue in cheek by the way, haha. Just figured they were all stereotypical 'bad booking'.

I don't see why people are wanting to bring in - as you say - outsiders. Each time a "new guy" comes along and makes mistakes, he gets his balls busted over them. When an "outsider" sees that, then what is the point of doing it when it seems you have to be perfect your first go around?
My two cents for the day.

just think something fun and refreshing is needed on this board to get people into things. I, for one, am having a ton of fun writing my current diary and I am also looking to get involved in other things. I don't see the harm in trying...if it fails, it fails. At least I can say that when I modded a board that was dead, I tried to give it a second life. I rather that than sitting around and not doing anything about it. Yeah, this is just a message board, but I still care about it. I think the idea is great and maybe with a committee discussion/planning from a few minds, we can get something that ACTUALLY sticks, instead of one person trying to take on all the work.

Does anyone have a Raw roster and graphic for early 2011? If so it would be much appreciated.

Sorry, I'm ranting, I'll stop. I just think we need to dip the entire foot in the cold water, not just the toe. Edit: The line in the sig is tongue in cheek by the way, haha. Just figured they were all stereotypical 'bad booking'. Totally agreed. Although, I do seem negative at times saying this won't work. I want to see this idea work and would be down for being part of it. Although I disagree with DTP's comments on the last page. This would be used as an attempt to lighten the board up a little. Sign ups usually get a good response and loyal followers (stand up Ace and Bock for SNW) All we need is a few after each show/update posting thier own in character views and it should go along fine. As long as the person running it is fully commited to it. You say people aren't around to reply and so this will fail but thats completley different. I'd say people don't reply not because they don't have time but because its pretty boring. I'm sure some people disagree but I'd say thats the main reason why replies are limited. Onto my last point, about advertising the board. I like the little sigs everyone's got and think it should do well for the board. But going into other boards and asking people to come over is a bit much. I love the sim board as it is, I'm not saying no more newbies just don't go advertising for anyone to come in. Because it will only mean that the board will be run by these new people who probably don't get the point of Wrestling Sims. Yes, the board is dead at the moment but everyone is speaking like if we don't do something fast it will never comeback. We have these periods every year, just wait and it will grow[/wise old Japanese man] Hopefully this sign up thingy will go some way into helping that. Rant over. Don't think I got my points over as clearly as I wanted but what the heck. |

I wish we had more new people to accuse of being Leon in disguise.  |

Been extremely busy this past week with college stuff. Going to update my diary with quick results to get back on track sometime this week. Hopefully the replies aren't as scarce either, could still use some.

Just figured they were all stereotypical 'bad booking'. You can't keep something like that going if the content is "good". If people don't hand in, the whole concept collapses in on itself and fails miserably! This idea has been done in variation several times, over and over and over, with the same "WE CAN MAKE IT WORK" response and it never does. |

i think its the negativity on this board that really brings the ideas down.

Just read the last page and saw the mention of the E-Fed idea. This isn't me putting myself forward, but more just making a point. I've ran countless E-Feds, literally 30+. It's what I did before I came to WFigs, and it wasn't all "what you did in your day", because that was the optional stuff. The mandatory stuff is the roleplaying which is basically a one to three scened scenario in promo form, whether that be in-ring, backstage or on a talk show. Don't know if anyone here participated in any of the main E-Feds going around, usually titled either 'WWENTERTAINMENT' or a created name. One which springs to mind was 'WWC' which I was a part of for about three years.
While it's a good idea, like Dan said, with a lack of sign-ups it would never last. And besides, I doubt you'd get people to hand in a promo of their character each week for their match because it'd be way too much work with (as Dan once again said) people not even replying as of late, let alone writing up their own stuff. I like the idea and I know how the E-Fed approach works inside and out, but in the current state of our board, it's unlikely to last.

I don't mind the idea at all. I just personally wouldn't sign up and do it myself.

Honestly with the E-fed stuff I'd like to think I'd be the man to come to. I'm currently involved in probably two of the top E-feds (our own WFWF and possibly the holy grail of e-feding, XWA). Now I don't like to be the type to be negative (who am I kidding, I love it) but honestly if the joint sims-universe thing didn't work I very much doubt this will.
An E-fed is a whole lot more work so you couldn't follow the same formula, sims related or not. It would take a lot of tinkering to get it into something that people would actually get involved in.

Shifty's idea looks good. If you guys need me for anything, let me know. EDIT: What's the statuses of KWC and PTW? Still in for The Super Sims Cup?  |

I'm kinda amused that WWF 1994 is getting more page views while I haven't updated it then when it got updated frequently.
That being said, I'm hoping to get Royal Rumble 1994 done since i have a long weekend coming up.
