Hey. If any of us are still floating around, who'd be willing to try and put this place back together, or clean it up and make it something else, at least? I miss having a place to RP, and this was probably the best place to me, but I'm going to be kind of busy, and I can't really do anything alone.
I'd usually put this in the staff room, but anyone can help. Any thoughts, guys?

Excellent. Let the games begin. Now, what do you guys want to do about fixing/cleaning up the site? I myself kind of worry about having so many villages to begin with. I've seen upstart sites with only five villages have the problem of users spreading themselves out too much, and we technically have eleven, including Star and Waterfall. Should we limit the villages people can join for the beginning? Also, should we be attempting to fill up certain vital character roles? I mean, all of us are/were a Kage of a Village, and we have two of each of us on a side. (Monkey Glass, Mael Tears, seltor Sand, and Jedo Mist) That's might not be a bad start, if we want to try and fill up spots in certain villages.
On that note, I'm not entirely sure about the Pact of Four villages we have right now. Probably something to talk about later, but I'm kind of skeptical about the Sound and Tears villages, and their existences. I think they have good ideas, but I'm not sure it's what we need for a new site.
Anyways, I'll stop babbling.

We should limit ourselves to the five main villages from Canon. At least in the beginning.

Okay, that's a start. What will we do with the Pact of Four? Do we want to just NPC any opponents for now? And nonetheless, five villages is a lot. I feel like each village kind of needs a Kage to tie the users in it together.

Five Main Villages that are not allied. Hence those 5 can wage war. Yes, Kages are necessary.

Okay, I'm fine with that. I still worry if five is too many, honestly. Of course, maybe it isn't an issue, since everybody will go to Kiri, then to Konoha, then to Suna, mainly ignoring Kumo and completely ignoring Iwa...

If we do keep the main villages, then if membership in falls behind we could offer perks to draw players to it?
On some sites I visited, some people I tried to recruit said we looked dead. We have all these topics that haven't been posted in for over a year. It turns people off.

I know, we have a crap load of old stuff. I say somebody who can (I'll check to see if I have the rights) throws all the stuff into archives. If each one of us could take a village (I'd be happy to take Iwa) as their own (as in, like a Kage) and start making some new posts in it and sorting stuff out, that'd be a good start. That type of thing means probably updating the boards, putting up new information, starting an open thread maybe (creating a character for that village, in my case), and probably putting up a roster of characters/positions in that village. That's what I did with Heki, back in the day, and it looked nice.
So if Jedo and Seltor would be happy to take to their old nests as Mizu and Kaze, I'd be happy to take Tsuchi, then we just need someone for Konoha and Kumo?
Jedo, I like the reward/perk idea, by the way.
Are we going to remove the Pact of Four entirely, and just pretend they never existed? Because if so, some people rejoining the site might be kind of irritated with having to change their stuff around. Honestly, I might like to have them in storage, just in case we need a plot device, not to mention I thought they were one of the best things that made this site different.

We could go with the old manga alliances...Iwa and Kumo against the others. We should also either chose one of the rouge factions;e.i Neo Akatsuki, or combine them. Neither had the membership numbers to be a true force. I'm also working out some plot ideas you guys might like. One thing we've always have been sonewhaat weak in, is plor events. They've been few and not moderated well.

That's kind of a really big signature. Just saying.
I think we should probably be looking to create a new rogue faction (like you said, just one- I don't know if they ever were formidable or a serious part of the site, but they never were when I was around), and if we want, that could be a good place to put some of the old Pact characters. New plot stuff would be fantastic. I'm not sure there were plot events when I was active, either, and those'd be good.
Basically, I guess the question is, what can I do for you guys? Do you want me to create stock characters or something? Start filling out new descriptions for villages, what? My main skill is creation, above anything else. But, we should probably get to doing something if we want to get this thing moving.

That's a good idea. Less stuff we have to throw in archives, anyways.
