I know this should either be kept to myself, posted to a blog, or OT. But I believe it fits here, because you guys are more understanding and I know you more than anyone I could in OT. Let me tell you a story that still brings tears to my eyes. You'll all say TL;DR, but I hope not. The site had 49 members, and the odds are you were probably one. So I owe you guys an explanation.
About two years back, I posted a website that only four people joined. They weren't active, of course, but they were still there. Then, Moderator Rain 2011 struck. 3 RPs were deleted in less than 5 minutes. One was pretty fun to me, two were owned by a very dear friend to me. So after that, we'd been fed up with the mods. So we decided to move.
Before this I had another site. It was called Roleplaying Streets. The way we pictured it, despite the fact it was all one liner posts, was amazing. Me and a friend had made a joke about there being "magical pixie dust". I deleted that site for some stupid reason that I blocked out. But to this day I literally cry over that.
We knew "The Site That We Quit To" was dead, so we decide to make a new one. Right when I was about to plop a name into the site creator, I remembered I'd already made one. I told them about it and they resumed their roleplays from their. Starting with Paradise Island. After that, we'd been getting bored of playing the same old same old with the same members, and decided to start showing everyone the site.
Plenty of people joined, yet not a ton.
We started roleplaying, and a few of the new recruits made roleplays. Still, the main roleplay was Paradise Island. We kept roleplaying as that of our main until awhile where it started to die. We'd mainly go on Off Topic now. Where we made our first event, "Boring Roleplay Award" Which was annual. I also made a formula to merge our names with our favorite "Friends" characters. Which gave Carly the name she still uses to this day. "Mhicha"
Then, with issues and acceptance issues that the site was dying. I decided to completely remodel the site, but keep all the old forum posts there. The site went down for 3 days, and then, without warning, SocialGo "Upgraded" and completely trashed my site because I didn't pay for a membership before they updated.
What made me bring this up, is that I figured out a way to log into the old Admin Control website of SocialGo. After searching and searching, The Admin Page was still up and running, so I knew some how, everyone's old sites were still there. I logged in, and there was the site. I clicked "go to site" and it said the site's trial expired. Despite that, the message still brought tears to my eyes. Because I knew there was still hope.
I'm so sorry I wasn't a better admin guys. I just thought the people of Boring Roleplays deserve an explanation. Sorry for the word wall. |

| Creative. Hmm.. I don't know for sure, but maybe it's because you didn't join Boring Roleplays? |

No. That wasn't a burn at all. Can you maybe say something that makes sense next time? |

TL;DR Version (For you lazy ones) Hana made several forum sites. The first couple failed. Failed as in not receiving a lot of participants. She got fed up with the mods because her favorite role-play along with a couple made by her close friend were deleted. She made another site which was more successful than the last two or three. Her friend received a nickname and the site shut down. She later found the admin page of the site and apologizes for being a bad admin in the first place. |

| Well, it was the only day the moderators were on full alert. The only other time Moderator Rain happened was around 09 when the 'No Virtual Da.ting on Roleplays' rule happened. It's basically the one day where moderators are fully alert. A 4k / 3k thread was deleted because of it. As well as another 2k one before then. |

If you ever want to set up a more permanent forum community on a site that is more reliably stable, try freeforums.o{remove}rg
I have one there that is rather successful and of decent size (although we only have a handful of active members.) Also, if you should ever want to merge communities for a chance at a wider variety of people for both groups, just send me a PM and we can talk business. |
