Same thing happened last year. Summer rolls around soon and I know of a good amount of people who will be returning.
Like Slugdude for example who plans to spend good time on IntOREnet this summer.
I personally see Magic, Tuchi, and I consistently working on our big projects. (DIO3, RALPH, IizR15. Respectively).
I agree with the line that the forums and big project activity has dropped recently, but I have also noticed a surge of students (lacking teachers recently, and on that note, I will give people teacher trials ASAP if they apply, WE NEED AND WANT YOU.
I forsee this summer being a very productive and educational summer for the sever as a whole.
ORE is a unique entity. We actually learn new things in our spare time, more advanced then most people do, and do so in a jovial community setting. This is something I hope will never change. As an Admin (and one of the most active people on the server) I will do my best to keep it that way.
Also, as I read back through this and see dates, I have noticed that this is predominantly before the last election I held. Since then, Nickster has addressed many of these issues (thanks!) aswell as helped (well did most of the work) to bring us to 1.8.3. I hope his work pays off this summer and we see more students come up to the ranks of Builder and join in the bigger projects. And I hope to also see some returning Builders start some of there own project or teach those on school.
I personally wish I was better at the programming and teaching aspects of being and Admin, I intend to work on this.. but if these complaints persist or you have any other comments/questions/complaints... feel free to PM me or chat with me in game and I will do my best to help or direct you to someone who can help better.
