Alright, so I see that I disappear for a while cause I had a lot of shit going on that came at me all at once and now I come back and see everything is discombobulated around here. Brain is leaving, we have no Dom, the board still has threads posted up since June. O.o The movie was just released and Paul gets ...well you all know, and the board seems as though its taking a turn for the worse. Can I offer a suggestion? Or you can tell me to go fuck myself, I don't care, but someone has to speak up here and since I'm known for being the asshole who does it best, I will anyways.

My suggestion is that we revamp the site. New skin, clean the board up a little with some archiving and give it a major overhaul. I'm willing to help if need be. I know my way around board coding and I can do graphics. I own Photoshop cs3 for goodness sake.I also hear that you guys are down an admin and two main characters of the board. In fact, I see a lot of forgotten characters that are no longer around. All I'm asking is please don't give up on me. You guys have done an excellent job in holding in there thus far and you guys are the only board around with F&F content. I think a face lift would help this place out and some advertising our asses off wouldn't hurt either. But one thing I can't let happen, is seeing Brian OConner just not be played because of what happened. It saddens me just as much as everyone else here, but I also know from personal opinions, that I wouldn't want to be let go and forgotten like that. I'd want to be played, remembered, and my memory carried onward even after I died. Thus why I am also volunteering to play both Brian and Dom and put Shawn up on a shelf somewhere in Guam if I have to. As I stated in another post, New characters such as Shawn are harder to play because you're still trying to get the feel for them, thus my absence lately, but Dom and brian, I know these characters like the back of my hand and the pimples on my ass. I can play them and I can play them well. Hell, I used to have my own F&F board and I played them then because I didn't trust anyone else to play them. I couldn't afford to see the characters butchered by someone that didn't know their ass from a hole in the ground. 

I'm serious guys, I will play both and put Shawn up. I will help you guys with the site and advertising if I have to. I'm offering my help and experience, so its up to you guys if you want to take it or leave it, or hell, even ban me if you want for being such a douche right now. (Most people think that, but truthfully, this is coming from the heart.) Its become a ghost town around here and I'm not liking what I see.

Let me know what you guys think or come up with. PM me if you want or email me. Hell, I'll even give you my phone number if you want to talk over the phone. Just don't close, don't let the character Brian go, and don't just let this place sit to collect dust. We have a good thing here and there is no shame in casual game play, posting when you can. I only have three active members on my Vampire site and I'm still hanging in there and doing the same with that. Hoping that it picks up with a new look. If you all need help, don't be afraid to ask me. Alright? Cool? Let's do this and do it together. 

Aim me at Gabriel Foster23 if you want. I have it so that I get messages on my phone when I'm not signed in and I'm available damn near 24 hours a day. ( I only sleep for 4 or 5 hours, so its not a big deal.) I live in Chicago, Il so just keep the time zone in mind. I'm usually in bed by 11 or 12 and Im up by 5 for work.

I think that is all and my douchbotchery has gotten tired. LMAO

Sorry for not seeing this earlier...

I agree with you for the most part. I would looovvveee to have a new skin and give this place a rejuvenated look. I'll talk to Jack about it when he comes around and we'll probably take you up on that. As far as activity is concerned, we've been like this since the day I joined and I'm guessing since the site was created. I mean we've gone 3 months in the past without hardly any activity but then fire things up again when everyone's ready to play. Could it be better? Absolutely, but the things you see that alarm you I've been seeing since day 1 and it isn't cause for concern for me anymore lol.

If you wanna play Dom, please do. I'd like to just focus on one character especially since my activity is inconsistent as I have times when I simply don't have time for racewars. As you probably saw, the admin who left (also the site's founder) made a request that Brian not be played...now I'm hoping that eventually he'll come back, he's been here for 6-7 years so I don't think it'll be easy for him to just leave for good. I agree that I personally think Brian should be played even now but its just not my call to put him back in. Could that change? Possibly, but it is what it is right now.

I appreciate the input and your offer, we'll take it a day at a time

Well, just let me know when and what you guys wanna do and I'll work on something for the board. As for playing Dom, I'll do it and try to keep up with shawn as well since we can't play brian. Just do me a favor and PM me all the details I need to know about as far as story so far. I don't want to come across RPing with someone and them know me like it was yesterday and Dom's stuck there trying to remember how he knows them. LOL And anyone who has RPed with Dom, you're more than welcome to Pm me as well to fill me in with back story and how he knows your character. I need to know Dom's whereabouts currently and in the past otherwise I'll be playing movie roles only. So everyone and anyone, please fill me in. This Dom is here to stay....for good.

P.S. I need all this before I can do his bio so consider him taken until I get the info and get his bio up for Cole or Jack to approve.

I'll send you a PM sometime tomorrow afternoon about Dom and a few other things, thanks for taking him!
