Ryan and I want to know who's happy? And most importantly what they would like to be different? We want feedback and we want detail. That last thing we want is to lose handlers because we're ignoring the issues that dare to try and make this game no longer enjoyable.

I was going to start a thread about this earlier, but I guess it will do as well as a reply:
Keep the Web site updated.
Before you bastards dragged me out of retirement and I, masochist that I was, went looking for feds, the first thing I'd do was check the main page and see if it was updated. We just had a supercard and a title change--technically in June--but at midnight it will be August, and Demetrius Burrell will still be champ, the last update will have been two months old, and there's STILL no Saturday Showdown line-up. I'd take two minutes to browse the site, decide the fed was dead, and move on.
Granted, PPW is a bit more about a tight-knit group of handlers and not so much casual traffic, but it's discouraging that I'm the champion and my bio isn't even up on the roster yet. When I ran a fed, I updated the site constantly--moving old shows to the archives, updating rankings, posting line-ups, etc. Even little updates make the page look more lively, and give the handlers a reason to check the homepage every day. As it stands now, I could just bookmark the boards and never check the site itself. Even if the fed is running at the same pace, the mere appearance of updates just makes it seem like less of a ghost town.

Well to be fair, Dustin, the fed is just now coming out of a month-month and a half layoff.

Yeah I'll have it all updated tonight. With getting married, net getting cut, I take the blame for the lackluster month we just had.

I am working on the site updates now.
Since I know where this "happiness" issue thing is coming from.
I'm not sure if Justin was talking about me. I don't remember saying I was unhappy about the fed, I do know things had been slowing down and I was losing interest... but for my part that is just as much as me being frustrated with not being able to get back into the groove I was in a year ago.

I hear that, I am just really curious to know who the two people are that aren't happy. Not trying to call anyone out but if you are not happy then why not step up to the plate and say something. Give a few suggestions for fuck sake so that Ryan can try and make things better for said people. I know I haven't had this much fun in rping in awhile when PPW was first going. So I just want to know what the two people are not happy about and what could be done to help.

I think one of the biggest things to keep in mind here folks. If you have any "complaints, gripes or bitches" as my old boss used to say, we want to hear them. As well as any suggestions you might have. It's an open door folks, keep us in the know on how you feel. I don't even want to know who the two people are, I really don't. What I do want to know is, what can we do for you? "help us, help you"

I'll tell you that I'm definitely not unhappy, I've just been hitting a funk lately in my life.
Lack of funds and bills stacking up are taking its toll on my mind and it's hurting my writing.
I'm up for the biggest match in TE's short history (Summer Games) and I can't even muster something.

Well to be fair, Dustin, the fed is just now coming out of a month-month and a half layoff. They wanted feedback and they wanted detail and they got it. And this was not a problem that was confined to the layoff period, either--the roster problem, for example. It's not like I signed up the day of the supercard.

Something else I'd like to see, and this is not so much something that's missing as something I'd like to add, is some more community and OOC chatter on the boards. I've been meaning to start a promo review thread, but I kind of had that idea towards the beginning of the break. But that's reliant upon participation: would people be willing to review someone else's post every time they posted one of their own, at a minimum, to keep such a thread going? Part of the fun of a fed is having feedback and getting better, and both of those requirement ongoing discussion.
