If you are on the council, it is YOUR job to read and reply. For the rest of us, we are way too busy to go e-mail someone telling them what is going on if they are too lazy to check the boards themselves. Many dedicated members are on here all the time, but they are not required, nor will they, e-mail you with every single detail that goes on the boards. If you don't think you're up to the challenge, get off the council.
You're supposed to read and reply. Not post messages that don't really say anything to anyone. Yes, this is all for fun but when you post, make it relevant. People like M00zcowz and Nagi read all the posts on here all the time so, be more social towards us when you post or else its irrelevant (spam) when you talk to yourself.
If you're kinda antisocial Just try to be not so antisocial, get involved..TALK...and...have fun I suppose? Plus, people are ALWAYS on the boards (Crystal, Nagi, Sha, Moonprincess, Harpie, Senko, Mark etc), so just watch what you post. But be sure to have fun in the process! If we reply to your post but you never say anything to us its considered rude if you do it multiple times and still do not acknowlage our exsistance.
No one responded to my post!!! You guys are so mean!!
*Sweatdrop* Okay, before you even THINK about saying this, think of few other things. Like, "Was my post interesting? Was is just spam? Was it one of those 'Post this in 10 boards and get a free paintbrush!' things? (Which NEVER work) Did I say something other than 'hi' 'whats up' 'hey' etc.? Was my spelling and grammar so atrocious that no one could read it and, therefore, didn't respond to it?" Those may be a little helpful to you.
Now, on the rare occasion that you had a decent post and no one answered, make sure you didn't post it just, maybe, let's say an hour ago as an example, as people DO have lives and can't be on the computer 24-7. (Though, many people are on QUITE often. : D) Or, maybe your post was simply overlooked as a result of sheer accident. Perhaps we didn't see your post at all. Or, perhaps you didn't click on "submit" by accident, or your computer just plain didn't do what you told it to. I also add, don't accuse us of being mean just for something so small as this. Now, if we say something incredibly offensive or rude, (Which we couldn't do without being expelled or at least suspended) THEN we're mean. Fortunately, there are currently no people who do that on the boards. Just please remember, we respect all of our members and wouldn't shun you away, even if we do miss a post or two. Thus, please do not bother us with questions like this.
I want to get more active in the guild! Can you list what things I can do?
Okay, it's not very hard to be active in this guild. Here is a list of things to help you:
An easy way to be more active in the guild is to visit the message board regularly. I'm not saying you have to go on EVER SINGLE DAY to be noticed, of course not. Sometimes we have very intriguing conversations there, and you are ALWAYS more than welcome to join in on them. Also, even though posting can increase your activity, DO NOT SPAM. It may be tempting and an easy way to get many posts, but it will make you very unpopular amongst the guild and you will most likely NOT be considered for rasing of rank, etc.
Another easy way to be more active is donate items to the guild shop or buy items from it. All those who donate will be posted there, unless you buy an item for less than 1000 np, as neopets stopped recording sales lower than that.
Good with banners? Why not make one for your guild! Just send it to somone on the website staff, and they'll put it up for you!
Well, the newsletter's full... but keep an eye out, maybe a position will open up!
If you're any good with HTML, ask to join the website staff! You can have lots of fun writing things like this, helping out with the webbie layouts, and all sorts of things!
Well, those are only a few things. There are probably many more I haven't even thought of! Just keep trying, my friends.
