The thing was destined to be forgotten and shoved to the side. Sad but true. The attention span of the general internet populus is far to short to maintain something like the EoFF Post. Plus, none of the writers were being paid.

I imagine that it could be really easy just to make your own EoFF newspaper if you wish to recruit your own staff and such. There is no reason to depend on anyone who is obviously not putting out.
;D ;D
people get touchy about that sort of thing, lynxie.
I'm also lazy, and in college, and had a lot of junk to do.Originally Posted by Miriel
That being said, Lenna was the starter, then she had some things to take care of, which she explained and therefor, I do not blame her. I'll be very happy to start it back up if I can get merely 4 people to help. I will make our own board so we don't have to use Aiyon, even though it's nice, I just like to have it completely separate. Especially so that I can manage it better.
I wanted a news bot to be created, but that never really go around to happening. #eoffpost is still active. If anyone would like some info on helping. Note, this will not be as time consuming or arduous as the last post. Not as many articles, but most likely much better quality.
Also, there's no one really to blame here. We had some unreliable staff members, and too many were allowed to join, thus, we couldn't manage everything. 35 people to manage between two leaders is just absurd. I tried to talk to Lenna about that, but my idea was swallowed up, but I'm not mad, nothing to be mad about.
Also, I would take user submissions, but I'd screen them. The forum I would make would have a public section and private section - so that non-staff members could have some say or give suggestions.
Anyways, I would like the EoFF Post to live, but I would need 4-5 dedicated writers. We could have a website, but I don't see the need to since we could just make thread called "EoFF Post Issue (#) (date)" and then I'd post the articles.
Well, if you would like to volunteer about maybe an hour of your time per issue, then PM me.
NOTE: Even if I get volunteers, there's not sign that this will still happen, but if I get people who I KNOW are interested and will stick with this, I most likely will start it back up.
Yes, I can see where finding out that other people can do a better job than you can be a touchy issue. :|
But, really, it's more of a matter of someone being able to a job instead of wanting to and not. It is not an issue of competency, but rather opportunity. Some drive does help though, much like an engine with more cylinders.
I'm doubt anyone can do anything better than me...
That said. You're FIRED.
In regards to Rye's post about me dumping it on to DP. I did not. When the first issue came around I dedicated alot of my time towards it. I spent hours trying to upload it to my site and get it all working properly. Towards the second issue starting, people dropped out and I had alot to handle with at the time, especially with finding somewhere else to live and the stress of college. I explained all of this to Mike and he understood. Blaming me for lack of leadership is very unfair Rye. I do have a life off EoFF and I tried my very best to do the best of the members involved.
So please refrain from leaving blame on me when you do not know anything besides one side of the story as it is far from fair.
Good luck with the Post DP.
I'll figure it out later...
I agree, there is a life outside of EoFF, Rye. And that life always comes first.
It had a good run.
Too bad, too, because I had a lot more jumbles I wanted to make.
