So i might be speaking prematurely here but im wondering if anyone else thinks things are slowly starting to pick up around here?

I know im not the only one sees the tumbleweeds blowing through sleuthville nowadays. I too miss the days of bar chats full of friends, villain tournaments and more treasure hunts going on then there are currently. (Though to be fair Vampiric Crypt, Blue Pagoda and Lost Horizon among other agencies have been doing an admirable job keeping the hunts alive on a constant basis, and have my admiration for it.)

I only ask this because im noticing some new blood...not as much as I'd like but im noticing some, and a certain sleuthgirl ciara made an unexpected reappearance...Surely that has to be like the sleuth equivalent of the groundhog NOT seeing its shadow? Are we in for spring here?

I dont know for sure but im feeling hopeful this place will blaze with life again....who else is with me?

I dunno Jason. I have noticed the growth spurt just in the last several days, and I'm leaning towards the fact that its the same amount of players, just more doubles and triples being created of the people that are already here.

It is good though, to see some oldies poppting like Serges and WELCOME BACK nicnic!!!

Unfortunately Sean King will be absent for a while. He will be missed by The Crypt. I wish there were more active agents too. Along with it would be more active agencies.

The problem I see is that the admins are not doing enough. Things have been stagnant in the face of promises, promises, promises.

I do see some hope in many who are here. Lacrimosa's writing contest. I have done a couple of contests. Riza has put on contests. Probably a half dozen or so willing to provide judging and prizes. And maybe 20 or so who compete when they can.

It is nice to see LJ and cfm on regularly. I am also glad nicnic has returned.

I believe that we are at a zenith low right now--meaning that we probably won't go any lower with people willing to subscribe. With some freshness to the site, we could grow again. Just my 2 cents.

As for me, I will continue to enjoy Noir. I also enjoy making friends here. There is great talent among all our subscribers from around the world.

Awww Jas. **SMOOCHES**

Well it seems like it has been picking up a bit in the last week or so. Not that I can talk because I disappeared for 2 years. Sowwy. But when I first came back, the boards seemed a little dead and now slowly people are posting again. Although a lot of it is me talking to myself.... :-)

A Serges sighting is awesome. And I did get some PMs from people who are lurking but haven't come out of the woodwork yet.

And Sleuthgirl Ciara making an appearance can mean nothing but good things. Like one of the Seven Signs of the Apocalypse, but opposite. Or something.

And Jas... I did just start a new agency, and I already got three members in less than 24 hours. I don't think they are doubles or triples, just new people. I'm not gonna give my secrets away though. I'm just cool like that. *raspberry*

Also..... THANK YOU JASON FOR THE TRAVEL KIT!!!!! A-Villain-Hunting-Here-I-Come!!!

You're very welcome, nicnic glad to be of help.

The fact this post isnt left hanging is a good sign...

I plan to remain optimistic, guys. *folds arms stubbornly*

No one misses bar chat, the AVL, and dominating treasure hunts more than me. Maybe I should do something to fix that...

I'd love to get the AVL site back up and running! That was the best ever! And yay for you popping in again! :D

I definitely think you need to do something about that Serges. But holy @#$%$#$% I just started a new London agency hoping to do a TH or two. If you come back to Sleuth World THing Domination I am going to be &%$%%$*# banging my head against my keyboard AGAIN....

On a side note... I do try to pop into Bar Chat at least once a day. It's lonely in there :( I swear I haven't talked to myself in it.... yet....

Guys, major crisis here.

I CAN'T CONNECT TO BAR CHAT!

I've been sitting for like 10 minutes waiting for the "connecting" message to go away and let the sweet gin-soaked memories flood back.

Am I being punished? I mean, if I am, I totally get it and all, but really...

DADDY NEEDS HIS BAR CHAT!
