They are great but Warrior Cats RPG Websites change too much. I am not criticizing, just observing. I think that if the site administration teams kept on going through hell and high water, through good and bad times with their Warrior Cats RGP sites they would, in the end, do better and gradually build a large groups of subscribers.
There seems to be a lot of "coming and going" with these sites. Some last a long time and some just fade away quickly. But the only way to succeed on the internet on any subject is to work consistently on your site for a long period of time. Sometimes I think site administrators close sites and move them or change the site a little too casually.
If I was building a Warrior Cats RPG site I would make sure:
- It was easy to use and to get around. Function should be more important than form (the way it looks).
- The project should be scheduled to last for a good 3-4 years continuous work. On the internet it takes these sorts of time frames to get the kind of result that one desires. There is a little bit of "instant success syndrome" around in the WC RPG world I think.
- Other free hosting sites such as Picasweb, Flickr (still photos), YouTube etc should be used to promote the site. There could be one person on the team who can make videos. Videos are a very effective way of improving a site and promoting a site. I haven't seen a home made video on a Warrior Cats RPG site.
- There might be something in the idea of forming coalitions - one site agreeing to take the subscribers from another site to make it bigger and then let the other site die. This would consolidate sites and make them more effective and long lasting.
All that said there are some very talented people in WC RPG but I just believe that they should be thinking longer term and not flit around so much. OK, I know it is young people who run these sites and things change a lot for young people but there should be a way around that problem.
I also hear of "hacking" etc. Who is hacking who? I don't read about other websites being hacked in to so why does this happen on Warrior Cats RPG websites?
OK I have had my say. Thanks to all for visiting this site. There are a lot of impressive Warrior Cats RPG Websites.
