| Are all of you guys done attacking Xeo?
Xeo only asked for a response, he didn't ask for insults, that, and Zabuza has a bad rep for pissing people off. Xeo has been swamped with work, and is stressed lately, last thing he needs are insults. You can still be Blunt, and not be Rude. |

| I think everyone needs a hug. This thread is getting awfully edgy.
I believe the board is fine. We don't have a surplus of posts, but that's because the board isn't really new. It seems new because of the post wipe, but in all honestly its been around for quite awhile. Its only natural for posts to start to decline. 100 posts a day isn't bad at all. Sure things may not be as they once were. But everyone is going to have to get over that. |

| Alright now ill have my say in this.
Xeo started this place because he wanted a community where people would be nice to each other, not take jab shots left and right. You can be blunt, but you always have the option to soften the blow. I know I have the tendency to piss people off, but not by what I say, its my personality that does it. I know when to soften blows when saying something. I hold no grudges against anyone, everyone holds their own thoughts, but attacking someone who put up something for someone to post on doesnt cut the mustard. If you signed up for this board, why not post on it instead of wasting peoples time and just signing up just to say "Ok I did it". As for the staff, you know you might not have heard this from me but I think they are doin a pretty damn good job. Yeah, you heard me, I SAID THEY ARE DOING A GOOD JOB! Specially the admins, they are bustin their ass trying to handle situations that anyone may have and trying to keep lamers off our board who would post like "OMG I SO ROXORZ AND YOU ALL SUXORZ!!!!!!" from this place. Xeo appointed these people because he thinks they would best serve the job, I had that once and I screwed it up, so be it, I moved on and I am trying to get back on the right track. The only reason someone would want a staff rehaul in my opinion is that they want a shot at staff. Im not saying that might be their intention, but somewhere back in their mind they might think like that. So I say no to the staff rehaul. I may not agree with this person but kaijin is right, get off him. I feel that really he just came up with his own observation and posted it and wants opinions to make it better, not heat because you think hes blaming you. I am frowned upon by alot of people here, but im damn sure trying my best, and I want to see this place be full of things to do. Thank you all for reading this. |

| I didn't really see what was said as an attack on Xeo... of course I've known Zabuza for awhile... you ask him for an honest opinion and he will give you one. You may not like what he says, but he is being bluntly honest and sincere.
But yeah, like I said, just give it a bit and things will perk up again. I will most likely be on a bit more now, seeing as I just dropped all but one of my classes.  |

| No offence or anything, but take a lesson from me and don't let yourself get paranoid at all. Tis a bad idea. I've been on forums, and I still am to this day, that only get a handful of posts a week, sometimes even 2 or 3 a day if we're lucky. Sure they're not as broad scoped as this, but still. This site is doing more than fine. In my eyes, as long as there are still posts every week, then there is nothing to worry about. It only has to help one person to be worth it right? And look at the activity here! It's massive! I think you're doing fine. And even a lurker like me is actually starting to voice every now and then too. | |||

| I'd be lying if I said that my intent in life was not to rile up people, but sadly it is. Therefore, you asked for blunt opinion on what is going on, and you got it. I'm sorry that you couldn't handle it, but I'm not going for being a kiss-ass here.
It's best not to dwell on it too much, but obligations in real life sometimes turn us away from obligations (if we can call them that) online. I regularly update my stories. I contribute to things. And, you're by far the best board owner I've ever encountered in my **stops to count hands and toes** fifteen years online. I'd rather not bullshit people, so lately, I've taken to being quite honest since that gets does me better in life than pandering and catering to people. If you want pandering and catering, warn me first, and I'll try my best to b.s. Given that aside, you unwittingly have created a discussion fueled by passion that will more than likely fuel the post counts into a higher range for you. Once again, you've proven yourself to be the great board owner that you without realizing what you've started. Bravo. Being quite candid, I do have you (Xeo) on my post radar as a goal to keep me motivated towards surpassing you. Mostly to hit the 1000, then 2000, then 5000, then 10000...someday. It's just not top priority right now. (Last edited by Zabuza on 04-21-05 03:07 AM) |

| Well, I guess I truly was out of line and wrong here, and 99% of you guys were right.
Just to clerify though, I was "NOT" trying to get a point across like "You guys aren't posting enough!" or something like that. Everyone is doing their part fine. I was mainly just trying to point that activity hasn't been what it "used" to be weeks and weeks ago. But then again, maybe those were the "glory" days of XGF. And well some people have left since then, that is probably a factor too. Honestly, maybe I just needed to vent here. Since there's been so many "new" boards by me, and so many restarts, maybe I was just upset (something Shuyin pointed out). But I really thought about this (when I was eating some Taco's earlier), and overall I am still very surprised and proud of this place, and you guys, and the community. Especially a select few, who have been with me (and active even) for the last 2 years, when I've had boards on and off. Even after MoD was shutdown, and gone for 3 months (myself included), when I made XGF, everyone came back. I was stunned. So, my apologizes here, and I'd like to thank everyone. Others also pointed out a good point here. Activity is fine, and better than many other boards, and well, that is true, and I am grateful for our place being active. So, overall and after thinking about it, Xeogaming is still doing great, I just think it could be "slightly" better like it used to be. But the way it is now is still great, and maybe it'll pick up over the summer. In no way am I encouraging you guys to stop posting or anything, and in no way am I trying to say "Post more!" (even though that wouldn't be a bad thing *laughs*). So, please keep doing what you do, and hopefully in time our community will continue to grow as it has. And tis' good to be back. =) I'm going to go ahead and close this also, I don't think anything else really needs to be said. If you truly want to add something, PM me and I'll reopen this.
