An Open Letter to Trisphee
 

Dear Trisphee members,

We would like to take the time to apologize for the slow updates as of late. As some of you might be aware, we are extremely short-staffed, and our previous attempts to recruit new staff members didn't go as well as we had anticipated. We are still in need of pixel artists and coders, this has been one of the reasons the evolving items have been slow, and why we haven't had an event yet. (We would have had one, but all our efforts were redirected to the Japanese disaster.) This is why the staff as a whole seem tense.

We are in urge users with programming experience or skill in pixel art to come forward and apply, to help make our wonderful community here at Trisphee thrive and expand. We would love to have an incredible event ready before classes are let out, so that there's things to do here when summer vacation rolls around, and we want to be ahead of the game on making new and exciting items. For those who are interested in applying please go to http://trisphee.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3624 to find the information you will require, and see if you have what it takes to make a diffrence.

We would also like to hear what you, the users want to see. What items are you interested in? What kind of items do you think the site is lacking in? Thank you for helping us, create a better Trisphee, for the members we have at the moment, and also for the Trisphee members of the future.

Thank you for your patience,
Coda

I never knew things were this bad?

if i knew how to pixel i would definalty help you out

Oh and about items, I agree on KH based stuff. Knock offs or not, anything that gives you the square enix feeling. More hair, hair is always good. Any hair but especially spiky ones. More simple clothes, but not too simple. Simple designs like dots, stripes and stars. Male clothing in general. Stuff that are realistic but also weird cool stuff to please us anime nerds.

That's good too. There's so much you can do with it too.

We were trying to keep people's spirits up before during our recruitment drive. A sense that the site isn't making progress is overall bad for everyone. But we've come to the conclusion that if we want to make Trisphee thrive, we have to push harder, and that means being honest about what's going on so we can get people helping out instead of thinking "someone else will do it."

I think there has been lots of updates though, nobody is expecting the site to become Gaia in one year. lol We've gotten many items, especially. Which is important.

Yuki, I wish other people felt that way, but there are even threads on this site talking about people leaving or inactive. Constant complaints about how our items look, and the site being "too boring."

Well everything could need improvements. Don't see it was bad feedback even if it feels like you've wasted time for nothing. Every site has to start out like this. If I had to choose, I'd say that I'm satisfied rather than unsatisfied. And I'm not trying to flatter anyone here. But yes, things can always be better.

As I've said before, I'm here for the people. I was on Trisphee before the avatars and I'll be here after the avatars as long as the people stay decent.

I do wish to join staff.. but obviously my age is a terrible setback. All I can do is sit and hope for the best.

I would love to see better layout and more original. That mean taking off some of the stuff we don't need on the site that was given to us from the original forum. What I am trying to say is that we need to make everything from scratch.

Probably not going to happen anytime soon, but I can dream.

Ohhh Like instead of just customizing the vBulletin default.. have something more different.

I'm for that.. but it'll require getting someone good at design and layouting

Yes yes, what you said. :D

Something more original and creative and something new and fresh.

We also need some games, games! I'd love a game or two. How hard would it be to make a little arrow shooting other arrows? Or something like that. Yeah, that would be fun. I'm not a tetris person.

I don't really want any games, to be honest. :3 I never play the game anyway and it doesn't really help much or anything. Plus there are so many games out there that I can play on the internet.

When this site have games, my school is most likely going to block Trisphee like all the other avatar sites that got games on it.

I can only do Dress up games... OTL.. And interactive stuff in Flash.

I'm pretty adept at learning languages tho. I'm learning AS3 atm.. So I'm sure i can do flash games. *nods*

I have a friend who does plat-formers in flash. I can make one of those. =O

I just think it would be nice to give people an option to earn some dough. I'm not talking about becoming an millionaire here. :/

It will be nice, if they give a good amount of aurums for playing it. I still think posting will give you more though, because there probably is going to be a limit on how many time you can play in a day. :] I guess it is nice for some people that don't want to go to other sites to play a game or two.

New users are intimidated by forums.. I know I was when I first went on Gaia.

Games can sorta break the ice. Esp, if there's a chat bar at the side.

Actually most of the layout ISN'T the default vBulletin theme anymore for the parts of the site that matter. We've got a few things left over in the forum/thread screens and we haven't changed a lot of the supplemental pages, but we've done a LOT of customization.

I just think it makes sense for an avi site to have some games.

Games are on the list.

Good to hear.

Sora, wow you must be really into the games then. I guess, it depend on who you are on an avatar site. For me, it never help or make any different for me to notice and I never really play them. It can also be the fact that I always have a bunch of money on me and don't see the point in playing them as they only give a tiny bit of money from playing.

But for some people games are a life saver. They are for me, on another site.

Even if games give me a lot of money, I'm still not going to play it. I'm not into games, it is more boring for me than chatting with people. XD That is just me.

Actually, I agree with Anonymous 100%. We really need more active users.

Yes, eye catching front page is a win win. I always like going to a site that have great front page with amazing details and information. Something colorful and something that show the beauty of the site. Something that include all kind of information but then leave out some great stuff for later.

Again, being based off Appearance is important.

The only reason I'm still here is mostly because of the users on here. The rest, I don't really care at all. Being honest, I don't care anymore about items, avatar, how the site look, and everything else. I really care most right now is the users I got to know and share my experiences with.

I left other avatar sites because I don't have a lot of people who actually care for me and so many drama going on. It would be nice to see some great changes going on though but even that won't change anything much. I just love Trisphites!

We do want Trisphee to have that bang, the problem is having the people to code the bang to get it done. Which is why we are trying to say. We are in desperate need of help.

I would LOVE to see some lightsabers. Maybe some normal weapons too. Swords and axes and staffs and such. And not just super cool looking expensive stuff either. Some basic, simple, cheap weaponry would be awesome.
