So, I've read through the other "lets bring t9k back" threads, which I think equal about two or something, I dunno. Moving on, Yes, t9k is in a slump; no, I don't have any "new" ideas to throw onto the table, or at least ideas that haven't been said already. To me, regardless of minecraft, or tf2, or gamenights, etc. while they added to the..flair, if you will, of t9k, like many older members said to me: "that's not all t9k is."
Yes it's a good thing interest in minecraft came back, not sure about tf2, gamenights i'll cover in a sec, but in my opinion, what always made t9k awesome, and wont change is new people. Yes the flow of new people has dwindled to a tiny ditch on the side of the road, trickling down after a fresh rainfall, but it always lighted my face to see new people registering.
With launch we sort of have that, but any time someone joins, it's a result of wanting admin powers on their server t9k is kindly hosting through the use of said launch. I like to think we need new members; we need new ideas, new people, new faces; in essence, a new generation of t9k'ers.
I'm not saying the regular members of t9k, myself included, don't have any good ideas to offer; it's just we've heard a majority of them in the past.
What i'd like to see happen (as I can't myself cause college and pc stuffs) is Use jersey and Dagamer's idea of remodeling the homepage, move the social media links to where people can see them as soon as they type
www.team9000.net. In regards to gamenights, we need someone who has the time, the willingness, the etc to host them. It was said (and god dammit I have horrible memory .-.) that game nights used to be every week, then once a month, to virtually nonexistent. let's bring them back. Update the facebook page as well; hell the most recent thing I saw on it a few days ago was from early 2013. C'mon, that's a bit silly. If there are some willing t9k'ers, bring back streams; I wasn't here for them, so I can't go into details on that. Save for the facebook thing, everything I've said was already said by others, sorry to those who rightfully deserve credit; I have bad memory.
It's like Crane said,
People are what makes a community, not a website, or a game server, or a mumble server. What binds people together into a community is the passion for something. We've lost our passion, and we need to find something new to bind us together. If we keep grasping at the past instead of moving forward, it will surely destroy us.
I believe everything I plagiarized here is what will re-ignite the passion t9k once had; bringing it back to even better glory.
