Okay, I am proposing to impose some blackout months for VIP o.o it will be a time for all of you to get a chance to not impulsively go to VIP every single day and post 'til you drop o.o so you can actually take a for-real vacation from it o.o
I realize this due to the recent site downtime o.o that we all basically need something like that o.o 'cuz look at how much happier we all are after that rest ^_^
What are your thoughts? o.o

Name: Mysti Felina Age: 22 Sex: Female Race: Human with Kitty Genetic Splicing Personality: Shy but fun when you get to know her; loves shopping Biography: Mysti moved in from the big city. She was genetically spliced in an accident when she was walking by a science building during college. Some careless janitor knocked a vial of cat DNA out of the window and the vial broke on her head causing the potent contents to seep into the wound. As a result, she ended up with cat ears and tail that pop up when she is in danger and has great agility and gymnastic capabilities. She owns a white kitten named Snowball and a pair of Husky puppies named Shadow and Seely. Mysti Felina ended up with a small fortune, due to the accident. A lawsuit resulted for all the medical expenses that were incurred for testing, therapy, and such. She doesn't regret the accident though, 'cuz it's allowed her to see things through the eyes of her animal friends. Mysti has a part-time job and has quite an extravagant wardrobe. She's hoping to find a nice place to settle down and make good friends. Click Here to visit my newly renovated apartment!!! Click Here to make YOUR Character and join the Fun!!!

Nickelodeons day of play is a day where rather than airing their usual children programing they merely air some light music and a crawl encouraging kids to go outside and play rather than, as I do, change the channel. o-o
So basically yeah

it sounds like a cool idea in theory,
my first questions are, what do you have in mind for 'blackout months' would this be done to cover a certain season or periodically? (like every third month)
how would you feel about a shoutbox or a support center where we share our blackout projects and maybe update (like we would our blogs)
I'm just spit-balling of course. Ideally we want everyone to do something with their off time so they have something new to talk about on their return.

Well, I think every third month would be good and randomly throw in a two month one :ph34r: just too keep us on our toes XD withdrawal symptoms anyone? :ph34r:
Also, it will be a true blackout o.o meaning no contact via this site at all o.o You're free to IM, but as far as communication on this site is concerned o.o it will be nonexistent o.o except for the google calendar which will be displayed o.o

mmm I figured, The only reason I said that is because well. If we're going to shut down our forum we should do it with purpose, I don't want people to post on the support forum because they miss VIP, but to genuinely pursue a goal or dream. I don't want people to just go to another forum to post during this time, we aren't a police state, using other ones should be okay with everyone, but that is our equivalent of. ignoring the message and changing the channel.
I feel like there should be some supervision over it, even if it is 'offtime'

Well, we are doing it with purpose o.o and the atmosphere from VIP isn't the same as the bigger sites o.o I postulate that over the years of the non-stop continuous run of the VIP Clan we had grown tensions that needed to be alleviated or settle down o.o Kinda like a family o.o we had grown up AND grown tired of each other o.o but we need the distance so that we can get back together again o.o
We don't have so many members that we should tell them to take a vacation individually o.o and when one person went on vacation and came back revitalized, everyone else who didn't remained bored and tired, this way we can keep our own interactions from going down that predictable path o.o I don't wanna end up saying "ewwww....I hate seeing your face!!" o.o
cabin fever? :ph34r:

I guess that makes sense, I guess I always try to make everything a little more grandiose than is strictly necessary...

It sounds like an okay Idea to me but I feel like you said its a little early maybe that last mouth of school should be it because everyone is always stressed around that time. Also I think one mouth is enough not 2 or 3 I get what your saying but I think in order to keep our members happy we should all decide with a poll on when and how long we want to do this.

Sora, this is an open-ended discussion on something that I want to implement--and that I believe we all actually need although it has never been done o.o
Also, I encourage all currently active members to participate in this particular discussion. So, we can 1) determine if we will for sure do it and 2) decide on how to implement it if we say that we want it.
Additionally, we all need more than one break. So, if it is every 3rd month, we will have 4 months of rest (March, June, September, December). Those are actually the highest stress months. Finals are in June and December. September is the beginning of classes. March is Easter and St. Patrick's Day o.o They're not back-to-back. Please do ask more questions if you are not getting the idea of it, everyone ^_^ If we say "yes" maybe it's something that should be done, then we'll do a poll on what timeframes to do it.
