Hello fellow members of [1138]. It has come to my attention that the activity/recruitment process is at an all time low. I've foreseen many problems over the past couple of months that potentially drives away the new recruits or even the old long time members. What I'm about to post is not to be taken as disrespectful towards any members, it is to provide constructive criticism.
1) The [1138] Website
During my routine of the day, I stop by to see what's up on the forums. To my amazement, nothing. This has been for the past couple of weeks now, and it saddens me to see this. In my opinion, I believe the website itself is the cause for the inactivity. Reason being is that firstly it's bland, nothing appealing to the audience nor is it eye-catching. If we truly wanted to attract the people, it's time to upgrade to a vBulletin. TZ, I thank you dearly for providing us with this wonderful home as starter, but it's time to get into a permanent one.
2) Recruitment
Well, it troubles me when I try to recruit someone, and I have to send it through a councilman. Yes I understand that we must not ruin our reputation, but what sort of reputation are we creating if no one is around to view it? The whole process for recruitment is slow and time consuming. By the time it gets noticed we just lost a new recruit since he/she became uninterested. Please reconsider revising this method, or creating a department with a single person in charge of recruitment.
3) The Clan Council
The Council was an excellent start from what has happened in the past, no doubt. Unfortunately it has come down to nothing being processed through the council nor changes being made. The Council is slow about doing practically anything. The first thing that must be changed is actually providing the general public of 1138 a look at what you all are planning on changing. For example, adding a new section to 1138 consisting of polls to where the public may vote for a change or not.
4) The Clan Councilmen
The Councilmen consist of members that have been in the clan for a long time. Some of these councilmen are inactive which contributes to the slow process given in the council. I believe new/trusted members should be inducted into the council instead of just being the "jocks" at the popular table. It's best to try out new people to see if there ideas may spark the life back into the community. With that being said, I think it's time to move Don and Fluffy to a retirement section respectively. With the retirement section, it still means they have a positive influence on the clan, but not currently active. With the moving of those two, it opens up some spots for some new councilmen who shall be picked based off of the PUBLIC. Some thoughts to be considered.
I believe with the changes that I have stated could potentially reverse the decline of recruits and lets hope, revive this clan back to its glorious power. If you're posting about this, please respect my opinions or provide constructive criticism.
Thanks
