The cycle will repeat, a staff member will get promoted who would be Ace/Fragma/King/etc and they'll start being extra active on the forums. Then after a week or two they will seldom log on and they will get demoted after awhile. It has happened to every staff member, some lasting a bit longer then others.
And it is simply because nothing goes on here. People come here and post, and that is it. And let me add the crap you guys post about is so pointless that anyone with a brain would not want to discuss it. Go and click "View New Posts" and you will find maybe 1 interesting thread per week. That is a direct result of the Support Feather award (so this will change once traffic starts generating from elsewhere...but that is on Omniscient to do). All we have is mindless discussions, un-enthused staff, and a weak memberbase.
No changes, no administration support, no contests, and no events. Sure, you don't need that stuff for a community. But for this one, we do need something to constantly keep the members (and sadly even the staff) actively posting and checking the board.
So why go through the process? Let us get some intelligent members here. Start working on SEO, advertise on forums that have intelligent people on it (see: Not HackForums), etc. Then we can have some good discussions. Before we know it, we'll actually need a moderator and there will be a reason for that new moderator to stay. At this rate, nothing will happen. And nothing ever does.
edit: and Breshie will never become staff.
I completely agree with you.
For this Omni is responsible, the lack of interest in site is just because of Support feather. It was a good idea for site promotion for starting months.
If he would have discontinued the award after a month or so. This site would have been a better place.
Better threads, better posts, better discussion. I thank god, Omni stopped giving this award, it'll make SF a better place I guess. If Omni starts to promote SF again but now via HF's feather.
