#garp admin post

Hey guys. I just wanted to let you all know that I'm still here, but this week and next week are full of finals for me. It's a lot of crap and I'm not going to be around much, so please note Sebastian, Jeremiah, and Molly's absences. I may be on here and there for a break, but not super consistently. 

That being said, Annie is usually around! And I'm pretty sure that everyone checks in as well, so feel free to post starters and reply to them. <3

This is a reminder to post any Time Skip - related chatzys/paras now through the end of next week (April 12th). Please remember to tag them with #GleefulTimeSkip.

If you can't get them done or think of something later that you want to play out, there will be a past para day every month on the 1st day of the month. If you forget, don't worry, cause there's always going to be next month to post it!

Tumblr is having some issues today/tonight, just as a warning. Don't get too frustrated. Just refresh.

That's all for now. Happy RPing.

Hey guys, so, obviously I need to give out the biggest apology ever. I have no idea what's wrong with me lately, but I think it may be best if I put Chase and Kurt on a bit of hiatus right now until I can pull myself together. I don't know how I feel about Kyle and Charlie, but they seem like the two that's the hardest to give up. I don't know how long I'll be here for or why I keep drifting away...I really do want to be here, I just haven't quite got the motivation like I used to. 

I'm gonna try again though; I don't want the RP to die, it's really special to both Ellen and I, so with that in mind, I'd like to help keep it alive until we can make some serious changes to make it even better. 

Thank you for putting up with me, you're all fabulous. 

Okay, so. My activity has been incredibly poor and to be honest, it's disgusting. I know you guys love being here and I'm being selfish for not coming on; but the truth is that I'm not quite as inspired by everything that I used to be. I don't know whether it's just because I'm 'losing interest' or I have no motivation due to the stress I'm under with everything. Personally, I think it's the latter. 

I'm not trying to make excuses for my activity, I know that it should be better despite everything, especially because I'm an admin. I really don't want the RP to die as we really have worked on it to make it something special and get as many people as we do now. 

The thing is, I'm not quite sure what I need to do to get my inspiration and motivation back for this - I don't want to quit but I also don't want to spend hours and hours on here a day. I just feel like I'm changing from the person who helped start this RP and now roleplaying isn't the be all and end all of my life like it used to be. Since attending college, I've grown up in the way that makes me want to experience things; I'm making new friends, going on University tours, learning to drive, and although that's all amazing, I'm getting stressed out by how many dates are getting filled up by activities and meetings. 

It's not just the RP that I'm struggling with, it's like I just want a break from everything to compose myself, but right now, I'm not coping very well and I'm getting more and more worn out. I feel like I'm stretching myself too far. I'm not sure if you guys want me to stay or not, I mean, it's really up to you whether I give it another go. If you really wanted me to let Ellen take control then I can do that, but I just want to do what's best for you, so I'm letting you decide. 

Hey guys! Just to let you know, we have received all notifications about being away etc for the holidays so it's all good! There's no pressure to post as real life and family stuff comes first, but, do know that the Gleeful family wish every single one of you happy holodays and a lovely new year!

Stay amazing!

So this is a first for us, but we just want to make sure that it's absolutely clear. 

I (Kelsie) am not the only admin. 

It seems like lately a few of you are under the impression that I'm the only one running this RP, when really, Ellen and Annie are here too. 

Ellen: Jeremiah, Sebastian, Molly and Eli. C

Annie: Dave, Jesse and Theo

Now, this doesn't apply to the majority of you, but recently I've been concerned with the lack of respect and recognition that these two get. They are both mature, brilliant and creative people that deserve just as much respect as any other admin does. Not only this, but we expect the same respect that we give you; we created this RP from scratch five months ago and we do not deserve to be spoken to in a rude manner. We're trying our best to make this an enjoyable experience for everybody.

If any more of this continues, there will be strikes given our that may eventually result in your removal. 

If you have any concerns, please contact us. Other than that, we apologise for this sadly negative post. 

Thank you. 

Just a quick update! The main is almost done so you can send in any questions, submit things and have a look through every page (apart from 'Characters' as it's still under construction). 

I hope you guys like it!
