So TS has less activity than it's ever had in the entire eight years of its life, the original 2002 site's age included.
Revival attempt, yes/no?
I miss you guys. What's been up with you?

Sorry .n. *flails*
Revival;; yes
Been busy. Summer school, community service, kicked off the comp, bed time at 10 ish.
I dunno, I originally lost muse while I was on leave. So I don't know what to do with my chars. I'd rather not make another one too... I'm thinking sitewide plot? Perhaps the gods can come in and make things happen. Like...if you're in a forest...let's start a wildfire c: . It's what we do on the site I'm sadly, quite active on.

I'm thinking more, you know, let's see how many people really want to come back before really doing anything.
We've all been busy and I think a lot of us are guilty of being active on other sites while this one kind of just withers away, haha We'll figure out something, in any case.

yeah... activity check sounds good.
Still makes me feel guilty though, seeing as this is my first site that I joined. Miss this place a bunch, sucks more is that I can't write a decent post lately.

Guilty as well... of lots. I've been busy as well, especially this summer, but lack of motivation/interest is my biggest excuse. I can't give a definitive answer for whether or not I'll come back, and I'm sorry :/ I wish I could/would/etc. I'll at least check back more often if nothing else and try and kick my muse into gear.
What's been up - well, study abroad, school, teaching certification, summer abroad... busyness. WB, what's been up with you?

*Coughs* Hello there! Well, I must say I never actually wound up RPing very much at all on this site but I am liking the fact that someone cared about it enough to email me, reminding me that it is here Hmm I don't know if the site can or should be resuscitated. How does it look with RPing over-all at the moment? Are there many if any active Sites out there atm? Or have people just stopped RPing?

Hey hey! Ugh I feel like such a hypocrite! I came back full force then just poofed off again. FAIL! Other wise my business my reptiles and my crappy job is very time consuming. Did finish up a summer class of Screen printing though. I think we need something fun and epic to happen to make people actually WANT to post. I know I fail miserably at writing now that art school sucked away my imagination...but I can try ;c

Jeez, we've all been active as hell.. elsewhere. In the real world. As far as my life goes? Oh, you know, the usual here - had a job, lost the job, moved from grandparents to mum's, got kicked out of mum's, living with a friend and her family in said friend's closet.. No really, I just took this photo so I could show you my tiny closet-room, complete with rat cage, snake cage, and hella art supplies (awwyeah dat ionizer on the lower right; sorry my FLOORBED isn't made). This is what happens when you're poor, kids, stay in school, etc. Anyway, still don't have a new job, doing art commissions for money, I now own one of the largest RP sites of its kind on the Internet, centred around the Team Fortress 2 fandom, AWWYEAH. Oh, and I'm trying to make it from Indiana to Massachusetts by the end of the summer. Somehow. C'est la vie.
Did I mention Zostar/Formaldehyde came over from Washington state to visit for a week and we had a f***ing blast? No? ITT: best week ever. ..we stayed at my grandparents. The closet wasn't big enough.
RE: REVIVAL - I think we could cause some havoc up in Transylvania.. New Prophecy, anyone?

yo everyone :) nice to see you all again. rival: yay my only concern is our activity might suddenly die again after the novelty of returning has worn off. new prophecy sounds good. maybe there'll be a wolf or two who actually has the sight again? if this really kicks off, I'm also gonna reread the book, which might help with muse-stuff.. Hmm I don't know if the site can or should be resuscitated. How does it look with RPing over-all at the moment? Are there many if any active Sites out there atm? Or have people just stopped RPing? RPing in general is huge. some of the biggest wolf rp sites (wws, myth, 'souls) have well over 100 active accounts (by active, I mean those accounts post once ICly every week). wws has over 500 active accounts, and each of those sites has been around for at least five years. there are also many other wolf rps that pop up, most with players who don't roleplay on those three behemoths. plus, a lot of human/horse/dog/etc. sites have kick-started in the last few years, and are surprisingly very successful. in short, RPing is a growing past-time. p.s. nice place ya got there, Wolfbane xD

New Prophecy works~ :3
Yeah what Grell said. Right now activity is what we're looking for. As long as we come up with something really really good we can advertise and get new members. Heck we could get old members to pop in eventually.
Real life has been hard. D: Barely managed to get by my first year of highschool. It's scary...

Prophecy or something like that sounds good...guess we need to get enough people back to get it started. We have a ton of people here that love making crazy ass plots so I'm sure a brainstorming event would be fun NO! everyone loves vampires so let just turn everyone into sparkle wolves And back to reality! Yea RL is pretty tough I had a lot more free time back when my internet was the most important thing in my life. It's hard to make time for it...but I think it really comes down to having the inspiration to write. So if we do get something fun going everyone will want to get involved. TS is also big with the old members, no one is going to want to get rid of the pack leaders and members even if they never come back to TS... PS...What kind of snake do you have Nocty? PPS...Unicorn wolves ftw!

Wow, how long has it been? Years, really? Inactivity really catches up with a person.
Just wanted to apologize to anyone around here who remembers me, or worse yet, anyone who had been waiting/wanting to start/finish a plot with me. I just don't have the drive for this place anymore. It's not that I've been active elsewhere, I haven't RP'd since stepping away from this place. I somehow believed/hoped that I would be able to make my way back here...
After being let go from my job last summer, I found a new one just before summer's end. I'm still there now, and they give me a lot more hours than my old part-time job (Which is sometimes a good thing, and sometimes a bad thing). I've had little to no time for art, between work and college, and keeping in touch with people has become a hardship in itself. There's simply too much to keep track of, too many expectations to fulfill, promises to keep.
So, I guess this is my 'formal' goodbye, as if my absence hadn't been taken as such already. I may pop in from time to time, just to see how things are going, but I'm afraid I won't be RPing anymore. For those of you left here, good luck with the resurrection- I'm not so sure it can be done, so many of us are busy now, or have moved on- but best of luck to you! If this place ends up going under, I wish you nothing but happiness wherever you may find yourselves next.
Thanks to anyone who had a thread with me, or knew me enough to chat. It's been a fun ride, and I'm sorry it's had to come to an end :/ 8 years for a little wolfy-RP site though, that's not half bad
Best wishes, Kai/Hyde

Guilty, guilty, guilty. Losing a job, picking up a job, moving, couch surfing. Everybody is growing up!and it all sound a little too much like my own activities. I remember logging on and seeing all the "I cant use the PC this weekend" (I'm not a PC, LINUX all the way!!! but i'm not gonna get into that right now lol) lines or summer vacation threads but now we're all moving on with our lives. Some are going to college now, others getting jobs and having kids. Then that's when think "Holy crap!? has it really been that long since i posted my first thread on this website?"
Revival Attempt? Hell yeah! TS has played a big role in all of our lives so i think its worth at least an attempt even if its a post a week. I miss TS too, and my Koran pals.
PS Best wishes Kai. We'll miss you.

Yay, peoples Kai, we talked a while back and I knew this was coming, but it still makes me very sad. There were so many plans and plots that were going on, I don't know what will happen without you, but I wish you the best. You know where to find me if you ever need to talk. Kyrs, wow, I've been so worried about you! I even made a post on here a LONG time ago asking if anyone had heard from you or knew if you were okay. I'm very happy for you, so glad you found your life partner, its an amazing feeling. I hope to get to talk to you soon and catch up, I'm glad you're doing some what okay, and are still alive and kicking. Miss ya girl. I'm guilty as well of missing, though I've checked in and have posted somewhat recently I think, trying to keep List alive, epic fail, but looks like RL has taken over for pretty much everyone. Right now Sudak and I are living with his parents, not so much fun, and trying to make it thru, we're trying but seem to be failing financially no matter what. I'd like to come back to TS, its like a home to me, the first place I ever RP'd. So it never hurts to try to a revival, will it work, you won't know until you try. Mist, can't forget you, we talk off and on, on MSN and I dearly miss you too. I hope you are having a blast studying abroad, I know that life is busy, but I'd really like to have you back, so many plots are planned with Mist

TS is also big with the old members, no one is going to want to get rid of the pack leaders and members even if they never come back to TS... ...which is problematic. This place needs serious spring cleaning. I suggest we make use of the Halls of Fame by noting pack leaders and influential characters in there who aren't coming back/no contact for a long time, and let other, more active players/characters step into their positions. I also think we should cut some of the packs/IC boards. At least until active numbers boost up again... If we even decide to revive TS, that is :) BTW: goodbye Kai, and good luck ;D
