Right now we're kind of on hiatus because one of our leaders is missing. I wouldn't level up a 50 right now just in case this project doesn't continue (which is starting to seem more and more likely). I'll post on the thread again with more info later

Hey guys. As I'm sure you noticed, I haven't been around at all for the past week or so. Some serious shit sprung up IRL and I've barely been on a computer at all, much less even been able to log into any Battle.net accounts. I'm posting here to let you guys know what's up.
First off, I do not want this project to die. I am absolutely going to try and keep this project moving forward, but for at least another week or so I will not have the means to play, as I don't even have normal internet access right now. Thelse, I would like to talk to you about co-managing the project if you are around. The project is too networked to me and due to my terrible absences it has been unable to move forward or budge without me. We need better leadership, particularly when I'm not available. There have been some glaring issues with the project, many of which are due to leadership gaps outside of the game that I cannot fully fill, at my own fault. I'm going to try and get people who can fill in these gaps, or find a way to micromanage them. This includes managing the Real ID list, the website more actively, and to some extent PR, streaming, and related. We gained too much momentum too quickly and hit a brick wall. This needs to be fixed outside of WoW before we jump back into progression.
Upon my return, I intend to jump back in at full force. I've been considering buying some advertising space for this project alone in a few places and might just go ahead with that. Doop has been working on the site last I checked (a week ago), and it's pretty much only missing content that I have but have not been able to fill in.
If you guys are still out there and want to make the project work, so do I. Sit tight, I'm taking care of some serious shit right now outside of video games that needs to be done before I can continue with anything. I don't want to let the <FIFTY> community down. The project is not dead unless everyone wants it to be.
Let me know if you're still with me.

Ah Thirk we got a problem, most of our core group has now leveled to the 65, 68 projects 
. We just couldnt get the numbers for any raids at 50 for the last month and I know alot of people were getting fed up turning up to rads that we got less than 10 people for. Ill tell ya more about it when your on next.

Alright. I talked to Thelse and Neil, and got caught up with what's going on.
It seems the core roster has leveled. If there remains any interest in <FIFTY>, then I won't abandon it. But it seems, for one reason or another, most people have lost interest. If you're still around and still want to push forward, I'll see what I can do. I don't want to call it quits yet, unless everyone else wants to as well.
Just let me know. I'm online right now and talking to people to see what's happening.
Regardless of the outcome, to those that are being left in the dust for one reason or another after either leveling or gearing because of my inability to coordinate the project, I'd like to apologize. There are things I could have handled better, and it seems I took on quite a bit more than I could chew. The 4 core members that stuck to <FIFTY> through thick and thin (Social, Bubble, Thelse, and Peachy) are all leading a new project in similar fashion to <FIFTY>, at 65; Clearing through BC content (Gruul/Mag/Hyjal). They're working on the details, and I will likely update the first post for that as well once it happens.
Thanks for joining <FIFTY>. I hope you had a good time. If not, then I apologize and wish I could have done it right.

I think it was perhaps a little hasty to level our 50s after just a week without contact from thirk; this could've been handled a lot better... None of us knew what thirk was up to, but he obviously had some serious irl problems to deal with. Unfortunately what's done is done. I'm not yet 100% sure whether I'll join the 65 project considering the minimal amount of raids that are enterable, but if 50 doesn't manage to continue I'll be on board for it. It's just sad to see a project with so much potential go down like this...
Plus 65 just doesn't have the same ring as 50.

Me and Thelse were discussing it last night and I will have a chat with him again today. I have a bit of time today, and I'm considering doing a minor reboot of the project in a few weeks. Give everyone a break, maybe get everyone excited and see if I can pull in some people before we "continue" raiding in <FIFTY>. I got pretty discouraged by my 4 core members starting another project, 3 of them leveling (All but Thelse), but I'd still like to see this project pull through. I don't blame anyone for leaving though, even if it was only a week that I went AWOL. Raids weren't happening as of late. I'd like to ensure some of that is changed before rebooting. Some stuff needs to be taken care of in my life, and in this project, before it can continue.
I also agree that 50 just has much more potential than 65, although I must admit it is something I would like to look into later down the road.

Thirk i'll tell you this now your attitude pisses a lot of people off. If you think i'm the only one your dead wrong i know of a few people who for sure quit because they didn't like how you led the raids or how you acted during them. Your ideas for getting people are pretty good, but beyond that i disagree on you being 50s raid leader.

I don't want to be a dick or anything, but you've hardly got a good attitude yourself Galli. You barely came to raids after you said you would over and over again, and when you did, you went afk for half the time. You've got no right to call out other people with the terrible record that you have.

I came to all the raids i could make i was also on almost all the world first kills, but as time went on i started coming less and less because of my contempt with thirks leading style and attitude.

We're looking to get started back up again in MoP as there are a vast number of changes that will affect us. Once MoP hits the PTR and is looking to get closer to release date the project will start back up, but at the moment we've lost our momentum and if we start up again we might crash once MoP hits due to the massive changes.
