The team GoW has in place is going to be what differentiates this from many other sites.

The ideas in the MOD forum are awesome - more creative than I've seen in a hot minute. It was those discussions which are leading to our creative execution of the Cypher format, the Ultimate Writers tournament, and both the experience and desire to make THIS SITE better, AND it's MEMBERS, the best on the net.

We are collaborating and executing --- we are establishing a basis for a long-lasting site, down to effing "Rules of Engagement" regarding the process for "banning" people (so counterproductive members are banned quickly -- but so there is a check/balance in place to ensure mods/admins don't go rogue).

This is where netcees failed!
There are few more involved and motivated admins out there than David llama --- but it started and ended with him. Mods had little authority, there were no real admins --- and the mods that did have some power abused it from time to time.

ALL TIME SUMMARY
- - -+ -+- -+-+- -+-+-+-+ -+-+-+-+-+-+- -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- -+-+-+-+-+-+- +-+-+-+- -+-+- -+- +- - -

- We've learned from the past. Taking what works, leaving what didn't.
- We're executing in the present. Working fast too. The leadership team is strong as fuck. Smart and motivated. From Sn00p managing tournaments and leagues, to Trap on his Archive rampage, to GoW getting it done across the board - and getting the right people in place to manage the boards. All the way down to me being inspired to help for the first time in years....

- We're planning for the future. Both the foundation, the leverage model of authority, and the creative shit that breathes new life into creative writing

A lot of great shit to come - and a lot of good shit already here. If there wasn't, I wouldn't be.

Those are the facts - the pessimists can take it or leave it.... but we'll keep being the realest.
