Greetings my fellow role players and imaginative enthusiasts! I am posting this on behalf of my duties as an administrator on Mystified Realm (Aelyn’s Sister Forum), and as a dedicated member of Aelyn.
If nobody has noticed lately, Aelyn has been really declining in activity over the past few months unfortunately---which is putting a major strain on the staff. Sadly, this same situation happened on Mystified Realm a year or so ago which eventually lead to that forum being shut down after several major role play stories were going strong. I’m guessing most people here have not been to MR, so I’ll tell you a bit about it.
Sahra and I created Mystified Realm way back in late 2006, early 2007. And for a good year it was extremely active with wonderful stories and characters coming to life. Eventually people lost their dedication to the site, leading to it pretty much going down the drain activity wise. Currently after having a site re-vamp, it is virtually dead with no activity.
This brings me to my next point.
I am assuming that most of the membership here derives some sort of pleasure and/or satisfaction out of their writing skills. Am I right? Well, I think it is fair to mention that writing is something that people must remain dedicated to, lest it gets rusty and eventually crappy…to use a crude term. I WANT to avoid (as well as the other staff) Aelyn falling to the same fate that Mystified Realm has (even though we are trying to revive MR as we speak). In order to do this, we need people who will remain dedicated to their talent as role playing writers. As we all know, the art of online role playing by post requires a decent deal of attention and dedication. It would make the staff’s lives so much easier if people would continue to stay true to the site and help boost its activity whether it being through advertisement or simply posting more and/or accumulating more ideas for community expansion.
Let’s get motivated people, and help this place come to life once again. It is our duty as the membership to keep this forum alive and kicking. The administrators/staff can only do so much, dedication and activity is entrusted to us. After we get Aelyn back on its feet, we should even try our hardest getting Mystified Realm back. We can’t let the unique art of “Wolf Role playing” die my friends!
Who is willing to help me help this site?
Feel free to post any suggestions.
