Just to respond to Serres. I am a wee bit confessed about your comment on me being "disorganised" by posting this topic here where the decisions about our region are made instead of talking to an admin. It's the Assembly's job along with the Cabinet's job to generate activity not the admins. Plus I don't see how sending the same thing to the admins is anymore organised than posting to the Assembly if anything it's more disorganised.

I'd quickly like to raise a small concern of mine. Our MoRA has not yet replied to this thread despite the fact that as the Charter states it's his job to create activity. I would have thought that he would have given his option on this as it does concern him. Just pointing that out.

To tsu I'll make a short list soon if you still want me to.

RA is taking a huge hit right now. There aren't many members and nothing is being done. There has not been a single SJ, Onion, Real Time, RS or anything since the start of this term. RA is a key part of keeping TSP active and it needs to be active for TSP to thrive.

This can be directly related to the current lack of user friendliness our forums currently contain. If we simply advertise properly and re organize ourselves we will see this fix itself.

Yes we may be low on members however we can't just sit in the corner and sulk about it. The original FP had just the then Minister, the Del and three other members involved, myself included. However we still got things done maybe not a lot but things soon sped up. As we did stuff people got interested and wanted to get involved, and things just took off from there.
See my suggestions above.

I think we could learn a lot from them and other thriving regions alike.

I can write up a large essay on RA and it's current state, but traditionally the MoRA is a 4-person job, or thereabouts, with its deputies. Currently, between lack of cooperation due to people being busy (seasonal stuff), low activity within the region etc, it is slow. As always, people are more than welcome to publish

The Journal etc has had minimal to write about, and is returning shortly. There are numerous reasons around it all and if necessary I can present a larger post about everything, but simply put there's no point writing about nothing. Regarding the start of the term when there was activity, I had no ability to publish to the relevant accounts. It's a large and convoluted mess in that regard. Regarding Real Time/etc, it's being replaced by a new project which will be unveiled shortly. Some things have to change as they've been less than successful in response it's a matter of changing things up to try encourage more engagement.

No one is sitting around sulking. This thread unto itself is the exact opposite of that - it's progression.

People in Euro want to be in Euro. That's the nature of a UCR. We have a LARGE number of people that don't want to get involved in forums and never will by nature of being a GCR.

I'm currently working on some festivals now we're coming out of the holidays.
