The "State of the Underground" Address

Heheheh... Wow... I just had a funny laugh. It seems that some of us here have "faults".

It's funny how in this picture the character are discussing about how they could make a clan on another person's forum when they have they own!!! Wow, this story makes me giggle. :3

=o. It seems this Rei guy could do much better for the site. It's kind of sad they don't realise Rei is a human and he has a life/over sites to attend to. Appearently, Rei is the only Admin here. LOLOLOLOL, WOW TOO GOOD. Now, they say the have something to say about everyone, huh? Well say it, funny characters!

It seems like the characters are perfect and can only see faults in others. IT IS SO FUNNY THOUGH. The one making all of these assumptions is the one who has only come back for, hmm, only 5 days? k.

I guess only some people have "faults". Poor Rei/Mods/E.T team ...

Sorry, Rei, what you want me to say...It is true... I don't really care if you laugh at it or not, I'm just expressing opinion. If you want a round of applause, or something for going there and seeing the talk, I'll give. I'm not saying, I could do any better, but maybe if you just heard some opinions, maybe this community would grow, but if you want to be like this, I really don't care, it will just show that your opinion counts the most. And you might say that that is not true, but it sounds like it. I'm not creating any drama, I'm just looking at the facts. Feel free to ban me or say ''funny character'', I really don't mind, seriously... I'm just trying to help afterall, and please, if your going to reply, don't go all ''no'' on me...

What we need to decide is if we want to be a friendly community or a competitive community. If people have different views, then people are going to be like wtf is going on.

We also need to stop the insults when a fight starts to get bad, who cares if you lose a fight. You don't want it going on for days, and this is online. Your a butt head, your a d*** chomp, your banned, I'm telling. (That was just some example that came to my head, not based on anything.) Just get to the point and ask to brawl or something, don't fight.

Also another problem is the chat. Sure the chat is fast and active, but if we have that why should we use a slow forum. The forum seems better for planning future events and etc if we have a chat. To get the forum more active, you need to remove the chat. I'm not suggesting that though, just speaking some logic.

You also cannot depend on the admins to do everything, you use this forum as well. We are in charge of what direction we should be headed to and etc, and we know you try to help by giving us ideas or planning stuff. It is not our complete job to advertise, and to find members.

Work together my brothers, I think everyone here is male? Someone needs to buy the crop seeds, someone needs to grow the crops, someone needs to harvest the crops, someone needs to sell the crops, and everyone needs to repeat.

lol, my brothers. thats funny XD

You make some good points. But, honestly, I consider myself a casual brawler, but, not entirely, somewhere in between pro and casual. I believe, what we need, IS a distinction of weather we are competitive, or simply casual. I believe we can have both, by creating separate boards/topics for various skill groups. This will make our site more appealing to newbies, as well as having appeal to veteran brawlers.

As much as I like the chat, this is very very true. Another forum I used to go to (Raimu may remember this as well), the admins decided to install an IRC chat because yanno, it would be cool and we didn't have one. Forum activity dropped by something like 50-60%. If they kept the chat the forum would've died, so we got rid of it and the site went back to being as active as it ever was. If you guys want forum activity increased, then this'll be the first thing you may want to consider.

Anyways, I agree with Zeph.... I'd like this to be a serious community, or at least somewhat serious so we can be taken, well..... seriously. Events Team, we need to get cracking on some more tourneys and such to get people into the game more. I'm thinking that's part of the problem, not enough stuff happens. Or rather, not enough stuff happens and stays happening.

Guys, with all due respect, back to my earlier point, how are we going to make this place competitive?

Back to my earlier point, we are not smashboards, if somebody wants to brawl, they're just gonna go there, they've got 100's of people online at a time, most times, how do we compete with that? Hell, even I go there when I can't find a brawl here, which, lately, isn't a rare occurrence. We need to figure out what we have that they don't.

hmm well the E.Ts are trying their best to make things a lil more interesting. givem time i'm POSITIVE one of em will be smart and come up with sumtin lol jus have faith thats all

Out of topic(kinda): wat ever happened to the Gyms???

Guys we have solved nothing with this arguing at all. Instead ranting, lets actually DO something. We are talking about trying to help the site yet I haven't heard any other idea other than clans. Even if choose not to do clans what are we seriously going to do...

if i had a comp and still had my wii then..mayb that wouldn't have happen but meh its all in the past now so gota look forward to the future

1.I never told how Champ what the faults were first of all. And I was going to tell everyone what the ''faults'' as I described them, were so people would know what they might want to work on, that's up do them. Suggestions, not commands, I'm not in charge.
2. I never complained of Rei, I didn't mention Taz, whatsoever, because I've seen Rei's work, and I think it is good, even thought a lot of things he planned and tried to work on failed (I'm not complaining about this, I'm stating). I never talked to Taz, and I have never seen Taz online; however, I know that because of timezones, we don't see eachother, but I know he is online. And Rei, I was saying you could do better, because I saw what you did to make the community better, and I supported you, even though, I never said anything. I know that with your leading/help we can make this community better, and I don't think it's right to mock people by saying we are ''funny characters'', I never complained about you. That was not a complain, and yet, you want to make jokes.
3. I have seen all your work, Rei. And I know you tried, but if it didn't work, maybe you need more help than you already have. You need more people helping you. Also, the plans for the site's future, about that...What if they don't work...A lot of things planned haven't worked so far, if they don't work, maybe it is good to have a ''Plan B''.
4. I never said I was on Champ's side, I said I agreed on what he said. I never said I was going to help Champ and only him...To leave the community, if I was, I would just go to Smashrealm and not return to SU, but I didn't. I'm here, right now, suggesting stuff, even after being mocked by Rei.
5. I said I was a returning member, so I was just pointing out things and trying to make suggestions. I pointed all that things seem the same. The only different thing is tournies every week, but still only 5 people on a tourny... I'm not blaming the ET staff or anyone else, I'm just saying that a tourny with 5 people is seriously something to let someone down, but that's opinion based, so let's just forget about it.
5. If your not happy with me, or whatever, feel free to ban me. I seriously don't want to be hated by anyone, neither do I want to be looked bad. And I apologize if I made anyone feel uncomfortable.

GUYS CAN YOU STOP ARGUING, THIS ISN'T GONNA FIX OUR SITE! Can we please just stop this and think of something that will make this site stay alive. We aren't fixing anything by doing this. You can keep arguing or you come together and make a solution to the problem.
