Hello everyone,
I'm here on behalf of the Administration team to let you guys know of something that's been happening for the past months: a decline in activity. Not just from the Staff, not just from the community, not just from the Admins, from everyone involved. This, we believe, is not a good sign at all. As posts started to decline, we felt less and less interested in pouring hours into the development of this site, this community and these projects. It's a very tough and sometimes bitter job, but we've nevertheless signed up for it and so we kept hacking at it. We understand that the very nature of this site means quite a bit of lurking is bound to happen, but on the same token, it still makes us feel less interested and makes the site less involving.
However, we just can't pull through it anymore. We have other projects, other obligations and priorities. This site has been our largest project to date, but it currently is falling into dust. We hope you can understand the pressure and amount of work we've got on our shoulders, and how we unfortunately do not find the motivation to continue around here anymore. We thought we should let you know in advance so that we may still be able to do something about it.
We need new staff. Not necessarily the admins of the biggest mods in the world; quite the opposite actually. We need people who have two rare and valuable commodities: time and motivation. Without those two, this site is ultimately doomed to fail. I know this might sound overly pessimistic and discouraging, but we think honesty is a prime value and as such we are expressing our thoughts unshielded.
If you think you have what it takes and you can pour the hours needed to stop the ship from sinking, be sure to contact us. You don't need to be a jack of all trades; as long as you think you can contribute to the site, go ahead and explain us what you think you can do. We'll be more than happy to welcome dedicated and motivated people around here. You see, we need a lot of content done, and we either don't have the time or don't have the knowledge to do this. We hope YOU can do it.
I'll state this again: this site is on the brink of extinction; this is not something we like to say at all, but it's becoming too hard to continue. Please help us help you, and a BIG thanks to all of those who keep this site active by posting and sharing your wealth of knowledge and information.
Thanks,
FriendlyFire and the Starport Administration
a matter which I expected... but not that soon
I was already thinking to help there but on the other side the question remains if starport would have done the same for SWAT
TSP never really showed interest in supporting other communities
your oppinion plz
