In response to the discussion, there could be a number of reasons for inactivity, possibly some of them combined. It's normal; there are always phases for these kind of things as a whole. And as for school, real life does come before Forum/Taco/whatever. Heck, I'm trying to cut down how much time I spend on the forum. I can't speak for anyone else, but my classes are harder, so I'm spending more time studying. (I also haven't really been in the mood for RPing lately. Not sure why. I'm calling it another phase.) BUT THERE'S NO USE IN CRYING OVER EVERY MISTAKE YOU JUST KEEP ON TRYING TILL YOU RUN OUT OF CAKE. And the science gets done.

"Possibly Alive"? Seems about right to me. Seriously. *shrug* It's not really touched on in the games. Pretty much all it says about Dark Elves besides the Mother Elf (including the Baby Elves) is that they're copies of the Mother Elf. All the copies are even called 'Baby Elves.' Even Prea and Crea are copies, IIRC. Personally I'd expect them to still be able to possess, even if they don't know how. (Any that show besides the twins are pretty... new. Possibly incomplete.) But yeah, Taco stuff isn't exactly strictly adherent to canon, anyway. And *loud plane flies by* Sort of. It's a live-in job, if that's what you mean. Somebody needs to be ready to respond at all times. I don't think I can help with that, though. Sorry. I'm hardly ever on Skype anymore. When I do show up everyone is all "A WILD SCRAC HAS APPEARED" Malkavia: OH. ONE OF THOSE. WHY WOULD SOMEONE NEED TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND AT ALL TIMES? MAVERICKS MUST BE VERY NASTY ANIMALS.Aneirin: *leaning over the edge of the roof* I didn't expect you too, I was just relaying information. *the gutter suddenly gives out under Aneirin's weight, and she tumbles forward toward Axl and the ground* Oh, Omni, that video you posted on MoDEoN is very pretty. Those screens are perfect, exactly what I was thinking XD And her helmet thing has strange resemblance to the one I'm designing for Swash. I can't remember if I showed you the sketches or not.

I don't think so. From observation, it appears that at least three or four of the usually more active people are very busy with schoolwork and other matters. Yeah, but I don't really buy that as a cause of a major drop in forumites. There has been school in the past.There has been school in the past, yes, but everyone has school, and as people get older, there's more and more school and work and life. Like, I just got into high school. So more homework than my middle school days. Plus, I'm on Skype, which, well, it's way more convenient. I love the taco, it's the way I keep up with most of y'all (since you ignore me on skype when i try to talk ; ) but honestly if I need to talk to anyone, I have Skype or Tumblr. Or, if all else fails, we do still have PMing. Plus, with Tumblr, you can swear and stuff, which you can't do here because of the stricter filters. Which is one of the many reasons (IIRC seriously my memory is sorta fuzzy) Torkie posts her stories on Tumblr now.

If you were to receive an ultimatum along these lines that really wasn't a choice at all, and ended up being ultimately pretty condescending, you wouldn't exactly want to work with the person either. Bacon's point is not that you should stop all of your other activities and post here full-time. But it's extremely evident that talk here has dropped off, and it's not asking too much to figure out why that is. So drop the condescension and defensiveness, and try and see where the other is coming from. That goes for you too, Bacon -- it's not without the realm of possibility that people would want to spend time elsewhere, and we can't expect the forum to be the central location of socialization, though we can certainly mediate and cooperate to bring it closer to its previous state.

Can we not point fingers at why the Taco has been dead? That really isn't going to help. It's not just about Tumblr, it's not just about Skype, it's not just about school.
Blaming each other isn't going to help anyone. Remember, we're all friends here, alright?
