Alright, so after a long wait and a lot of thought I've come to the conclusion on what the future of Mount Olympus shall be...

The Site will most likely being moved towards a 'website / messenger' based setup. Yes, this will be QUITE different than the forum approach we've had for so long. However...This should allow the RP to move along with ease and should lead to the best possible outcome. It will also open the door for other types of RPs being opened that are not pokemon. Such as: Naruto, Avatar, Warcraft, League of Legends, and truly any rpg/franchise that people have interest in I'll think of ways to come out with RPs for.

The problem with all of my RPGs that I have run so far seems to be activity. When we're doing it over messenger, people that are interested will be able to jump into the story. It should move along faster and heck, people will enjoy themselves more because they can simply chat with each other while they're rping. Instant gm replies and instant character replies is definitely more entertaining. After a few minutes of ABABABABAB posting, I understand why you get bored and log off.

I understand there is a lot of concern of inability to get messenger, not wanting to log on to messenger, and what not... the only thing I can tell you is, there are number of websites out there that allow messenger hosting without having to install. You just need to make a live email address and you're done. Sites like this are e-buddy, meebo, and even microsoft launched their own website browser.

This leads to the point where I'm going to have to get a website setup. The website will pretty much only be for finding information regarding the RPs. You just have it open when we're doing the stuff over messenger. Other than that, we can keep in contact over messenger for when we can setup times and events for all of us to meet up and RP. Can't make it? It doesn't matter, we can still continue. Even if it's just me and another person, theres much more potential in this I believe.

If there is concern about this, please let me know. I understand this is a drastic change and I would never do anything that would be in the worst interest of Olympus. I've grown to love the community.
