WB Orion. Although that only adds one more member to the 4 of us who want to continue this site. I think a new site would be good because hardly anyone actually watches Evo these days.

I think it's time for a veteran poster to have his say.
If I recall the lack of popularity on this site has been a problem since around the second month but still the site is up and running which tells us that there are several dedicated users that will not rest until the site can be preserved.
But in all honesty I really think a new site is the way to go. A new X-men RPG site. I think the main problem with this one is was that when it first started there was only about 2 people that were incharge and taking responsibility for the site. I think if we advertise a new site all around with a much more better team of moderators that are actualy on more than once a month the site will go alot more smoothly.
I think a new site would be a very good idea as we can learn from our mistakes made from this site. Be more persistant in aquireing new members. As in email them if they sign up but never come on, and I mean really bug the crap out of them so they either answer no or just give in and post. It dosn't matter if it's only a very small number each time, atleast they'll be active.
And I also think that a new site can fun for us to (If you want) redo or moddify our characters profile for a new start or even start of a with a new character all together.
It's not hard to start up a RPG forum site but is to maintane it and keep it alive but I think that there are people on this site that are really dedicated to the caus and can really make it happen, especialy with the knowledge we have from this site that we've gained from over the year.
I say start a new X-men RPG site And just have people that really do want the site going to be in charge.

HUZZAH to people posting about this...i'm glad you guys are alive!! lol i'm still waiting for some other people to respond to me emails about keeping their characs or not. it's almost been two weeks now and it's looking like no more than 15 and no less than 10 characs are still willing to stay around. i haven't gotten many responses. i think we should start advertising too whether we start a new site or not because we are gonna need more/new characs.

i think most of us would like to start a new site...because we can't change anything technically since none of us are admins and none of the admins have responded about our ideas. soooo i'm thinking i will start a new site and become the admin. i want others to be admins too for different purposes on the site so that no one has too much responsibility and the site can keep going regardless if an admin is unable to get online for a while. opinions??

I don't have as much power as the other two main admins, Dracos and Blaze, but I'm definatly backing the idea of starting a new site. Blaze has been in contact with Del lately and told her that her computer has a virus, and wont be on for a while. Dracos will probably agree once one of us tells him about it.
If I may make a suggestion, instead of just making it a new X-Men RPG, why not just "Standard Comic Book" RPG...but with a better name. That way it's not just limited to the X-Men being the main good-guy force and The Brotherhood being the main bad-guy force. We could have heroes on their own, or starting new super-groups, and the same goes for the bad-guys.

while the idea is welcome, there is a couple of things i would do. For example the layout is a bit in your face. I wouldn't have it black. I also wouldn't have such a big emphasis on the mansion either, at the expense of other places. A couple fo split boards wouldn't go a miss. Espesially in places such as new york and other countries. What about other ideas, like a pints ranking system like i suggested? i could go into more detail if necessary.

ok, first response, to dravens idea
I kinda like it but also feel a bit odd over it. There's the plus side were we're not restricted to being mutants that either live at the mansion or don't and that might spark more interest in potential posters.
But It's gonna be hard having people who aren't gonna really over power their characters or just give them completely bullshit backstories. Plus we loose the idea of the x-men. I suppose we could still have the mansion and x-men with mutants and all but some of the characters that choose to be mutants will most likely be overshadowed by the more powerfully made super heros.
So I don't have a direct yes or no to that answer yet but it's defiently going somwhere.
Now onto the first impressions of tri's site.
.......Well.....The first thing I noticed from literally just looking at the link was that it's called "ultimate X-men"........I think you might be getting my drift if you understand the slight problem there.

The Layout: i think the layout is kick-ass lol and most of the other people i've surveyed think so too...in fact, everyone thinks black is the best color to use. when you scroll, it turns blue too...i thought using the colors of the xmen was just a creative touch...
About the Mansion Emphasis: most of the posts on this site occured in the mansion, so that's why i put emphasis on it. also, most people that join the site choose to be good guys, because that is what is in most people's nature...just how humans are.
Points system: i would like to do a points system for dishing out points to fights...thus making people gain power. BUT, it would have to be a slow process cause people would become super mutants and that's crap. i think the veteran mutants will all be awarded higher in the beginning since we all know about each other's characters already. i would like to make an admin do this HUGE point system thingie and naturally, brainfreeze would do it.
Super heroes and mutants: sorry kaos, but i am completely confused about what you mean with the whole "super heroes" and "overshadowing".
and i definitely want several admins that are from this board to help me run it, each with certain jobs, so the site can keep moving along. including admins of this board already...

If I can rephrase a little bit on my suggestion.
Some people probably feel obligated to join either The Brotherhood or the X-Men when the apply to this site, instead of being a hero on their own.
And the layout is cool, but like what Brainfreeze said, it is a little bit in your face.
