I can see the problems with giving mod status to people. x.x; It would have to be somebody who has played for a long time. I think if somebody were to be allowed to form a new team, they would have to have great trust of several of the team captains already. =\ You can't hand out mod status to everybody, ya know? I think it would be uneventful for the everyday user to be able to create a team, unless the mods agreed to update the team for the captain, until the mods deemed the captain responsible enough, as well as deeming the captain able to be trusted.
I say, before we start thinking about new teams we have full, active teams first, then if we get the activity to need another team we can bring Omega back, or if that would bother people form a new team. But that would be a decision for the admins and current captains, who would then appoint someone active, responsible, and experienced to captain it.

stop beating a dead horse; as of current times, its not going to happen. Focusing on activity would be time better spent.
Even though I brought it up, Yathzee is correct, activity comes first. There are several things I can say to totally kill Tets's argument against team creation and mod status (mainly to do with the way board permissions work,) but as Yathzee said, right now, before we can even consider forming teams, we need to get current teams active. Moving the the new board will help with this, by getting rid of old useless junk or innactive accounts, giving us a better view of who we actually have.
Anothing thing I would like to say is this: There are a few other RP sites out there that have been around for a long time, im not sure how they would feel about joining into a type of community, but you could at least get onto their affiliate lists... If people actually care about that method, and would actually use them, i would be glad to post a few.

I agree with the second part of your post. I know of some really crazy active sites that I think would be cool to hook up with and see if we can't draw some of their members.

So my battle and (group) FQ should be continued there rather than finished here? As an example... had a long night and no sleep so want to make sure I read it right.
