I guess I'll address this:
the new fresh site that we've kind of been almost working on
in here, with my thoughts on the matter, given it's less than a month from the original proposed move date.
I'm unaware of Jan's, Wil's, or Will's thoughts on the matter but in the three months since I last even
looked at the new site, I have, to be completely honest, given up entirely on it.
1) There were creative differences and the people having them seemed to prefer to speak at each other, not to each other, and since it was handled mostly off board or via PM, there was really no way to try to mediate. Maybe that's typical of trying to build a site, I don't know. I don't really care; the behavior and attitudes were kind of disappointing and since I know nothing about that anyway, all I could do was pipe in when I thought something looked pretty or seemed to make more or less sense when explained to me.
2) I can't presume to speak for Wil but he has a job now and a female related hobby. I'm pretty sure he was only doing what he did out of boredom. That has probably changed.
3) I'm not a very good motivator. Out of an unfathomably deep frustration, I was wielding guilt like it was going out of style and I don't want to be that person; it's nasty and unfair to both me and the people targeted by it. I unequivocally cannot handle the levels of apathy I saw from most people. I will go to extremes to make things happen if I feel like I'm fighting for something worth having but this was not that.
4) Adam expressed, off board, to having the same feeling towards it that Rahl has. That made me angry, sad, you name it but I can't dismiss that.
In the end, if no one cares enough to step up and help without me resorting to yelling at them that they should care or care more, this place is probably just fine as it currently is. [/my 2 cents]
So raise your glass if you are wrong in all the right ways, all my underdogs.
