I don't have access to the forum staff guide, but aren't you supposed to close a thread after a week of inactivity? The staff members are never on forums. (only like 3) seems like they only get on forums to apply for staff
:/ True really I don't know why. I'm a non-staff and I'm active mostly on the website more then inside the server to check what is going on. I keep update on the forum because I want to see who is doing what from applying to beast game forum.
Just remember, staff are doing the best job possible. Be happy with what you have rather than being sad about what you don't.
The staff/player ratio at the moment is about 30-40 to 1, and I think those that are around have been doing a fantastic job. Ontime for them averages out at around 2 hours per day so far this month, which I think is more than reasonable considering not everyone will be around every day. I know your point is specifically about the forums, and they are important, but there is probably around 30 people that check the forum on a regular basis and more than twice that which play on the server, so that is the priority for peoples time. As I have said previously, this is for Tom and myself to address with the staff team. One thing I will say though, is this is something you should bring up by PM with me and Tom rather than in public.
