Being so much negativity get us nowhere, come on friends!
Please stop say this full time job. I have real full time job and is not this, making a summer event. Must be respect for workers it is really hard. When you are not a staff member yourself you cannot say this is full time job. You have not done this ever! Need great attitude, come on!
Adding me to list of 5 of Users making 6. We can do it!
Funny you say to respect workers when you refuse to acknowledge the amount of work involved in running an event.
When you are not a staff member yourself you cannot say this is NOT a full time job.
By the way, it comes off kind of condescending calling people friends when you've never interacted with them before. Almost makes me wonder if you're a troll account.
I am construction worker this is real hard job, please be respect to this. You are also not staff so you can say this to me why? I just wanting to us all help to do some fun thing and you make it rude.
It become like this you want the place and community to just not be function anymore?
I will not be a tolerate of your rude because my English is still learning. Do not think of attack me this way. It is more than even rude.
If you be this rude to new User try to help this why you have not many people left over here now one group is over and you just become wanting place to stop working?
I call people this friends to show of my intention is good but my language is English only my third language. Speak so many languages as me before make a judgement on words I use.
Hello! I think there's a bit of miscommunication happening here. What people are saying is that the events, which are made and run by the staff, are basically the workload equivalent of a full time job for the staff. The staff themselves have talked about in the past how much time and work goes into events. Participating in events also takes a lot of time and work, though it is up to you how much time you want to spend on each activity. The events tend to last a week at a minimum, and can last as long as a month. I see that you are new here, hopefully some day soon there will be a new event so that you can see what it's like! They are a lot of fun.
Thank you for post this but I can disagree with this be full time job. I am make suggest to make this small community event for community by community.
It being more than miscommunication to calling me bad names and to call me troll and pick on my language use when it is easy to see English not the language I know so much.
Instead of do so much negativity and moping about the place is not good, we make it for a better? Why I get call bully names for this is not alright?

^Check this link out.
It is a list of the events that have happened. You should check it out so you can get an understanding of what an event is like. And why we're saying it takes staff a lot of time and effort to make them happen. There was probably once a time when events were very small, but many of them in recent years are really extravagant. You probably won't understand just how big they are unless you join one, but you can go through that link so you can at least get an understanding.
For example April Fool's of this year was a 3 day team event where you chose what flavor you wanted to represent. The idea was to beat the other team flavors by smearing ice-cream over their posts, which could be done by reacting to their post with a now gone ice-cream reaction. And it would actually show the post covered in ice-cream and each time you reacted it would make a splatting sound. To expect a member to do something to this magnitude is asking too much.
At the same time, I do think the grandness of some of these events has spoiled a lot of us. There's no way I would probably ever see another forum or place online hold something so big. And not only that, but for free. I've paid more for less entertainment.
Expecting a member to put on a event as big as they currently are is expecting a lot and doing something small won't interest a lot of members because again like I said we got spoiled with the grandness of the events. Of course, this is also putting aside all that has happened recently that made a large number of the community take a leave of absence indefinitely or temporarily. Which is one of the bigger reasons.
A suggest to do small event is bad thing because event in past be much bigger? Not one member to do this, we can do together.
You like post call me bully names and ridicule my language struggle for why? I have talk with you nothing but respect it is no need for unkind and rude.
I am sorry but I don’t think an event right now is a good idea. They really do take a lot of work. Right now we need to focus on making things better for all. Even if we could get enough people for an event it would still need to be accepted by staff and staff moderated. I think it is really dismissive of people’s feeling to hold an event before things are worked out.
There have been problems with events in the past that need to be addressed before moving forward with new events. It may not seem like it but events have a lot of behind the scenes things that go on to make events fun.
They really take a lot of time and care to hold events. No one is trying to disrespect full time jobs since many of us including staff have them. It just not as simple to just have a summer event. It takes time and planning,
You did also like post did call me bully names and ridicule language. Maybe this could be more reason why people not to be here and new User do not stay.
It is time to move on from the past argument and move forward for new beginning. Moping is not the way to help. It is not to join in bully either.
