I know that the AZ has been deserted for a while now, but it's never too late to bring it back. From now on, this is primarily a community. I am not really an admin, I own the site but I don't run it - you guys do. Your suggestions and feedback fuel the community and it's you who directly affect what happens to the forum.

Firstly, Happy New Year to everyone if I haven't said so already - and I hope you had a good break over the holidays.

There are 2 things that are mostly bothering people: Staff and the gallery.

1. Would you like to join the AZ staff team? What position? (If it's a position we don't currently have, please suggest other roles that we could create to fulfill needs of the forum.)

2. Did you prefer the old graphics submission forum? If this is the case, I was thinking of bringing it back and making the gallery only for GOLD submissions, that are highly rated by our reviewers.

If you have any other suggestions please post them here, I will be online regularly to check - if you can't get hold of me here, message me on Twitter as I almost always reply: http://www.twitter.com/kobius

As the AZ was offline for such an extended period of time, we've slowly lost much of our following. We're working hard to advertise as many different websites, forums and other mediums but we need your help! We can only go so far, it's you guys that can really make us happen. Word of mouth can be the most powerful advertising tool, as it comes directly from a dedicated user and not someone that owns or runs the site. Below are various ways that you can help the AZ, they won't cost you anything but a few minutes of your time and in return you'll have our appreciate, and the knowledge the you've directly helped build the community of a forum we've all put so much into.

They all just vanished probably due to a lack of time and interest in forums. That's how a lot of people end up leaving forums.

That isn't the point, there's still members out there who would join. Just because some loyal members go doesn't mean the forum goes to pot, the administrators should always have backup plans for things like this. They had a good start, they must've had some good advertising method? Why not just do that again? It's not rocket science, the board has promise, It's on good software, It's appealing to the eye and it has content. I have his back on whatever he decides to do.

@ Alfie My post was answering Karrit's question. I don't know what you are going on about in all honesty.

I've been around since back on the IF days, and am one of the lucky few to be implemented on the new staff team. Kobius has told me on multiple occasions that he has some things planned that could change the current inactive trend for the better once he has some more time on his hands. For the moment, it's a bit at a time.

I joined up a long time ago but never got into it. TBH from what I could see, it basically died out when Sarah Ashley, Black Angel and Aetheral all left. God I remember all the drama that centered around those three when they were active staff members.
