You could just have temporary staff members, until the original crew takes care of whatever their going through.
Hito hasn't posted on the forums in three weeks, Mako and Tennyo haven't posted in a week, and everyone else's activity seems to have decreased quit a bit. :/
Yeah, it seems like I've been the most active here recently. I know most of them probably have a lot going on in their offline lives at the moment, but I do agree with you guys that if they have too much on their plate right now, it's worth considering that some more currently active, interested parties be considered to keep the trains running on time.
Also, though conditioning would tell me to make a new thread in this area of the forum to discuss this matter, all practical considerations tell me that this is the most active thread here for a reason and is the one most likely to be read. It's also the one I just pointed to in the staff forum when I made a thread a minute ago hoping to begin addressing the concerns you guys are having.
So I think for now at least I'm going to keep the discussion going on in here. It's certainly not going to hurt anything.
Is there any reason
this would be such a bad thing?
It doesn't sound like a bad idea to me. I'll bring it up to Yop. I don't know enough about this stuff to comment on whether it's workable one way or the other.
Thanks, all of you, for your suggestions so far.
