I really like this little cult of yours,i can see the potential for it to grow.How come you're so quite now?
Keywii: Lack of interest and free time mostly.
In retrospect regularly getting a group of upwards of 9 people together to do a podcast was a difficult objective. One, that is, that I was not ready to maintain.
Most members (of which I won’t specifically name) were always interested in being a part of things, but have jobs, or classes, or other projects to take care of, so any group activities got put on the backburner. Not only that, but two prominent members have since quit the group, as well, 3 other members never respond when messaged.
As an additional point, there’s only so much to say about running an askblog. There was talk about expanding to different topics, and branching outside of the MLP verse, but nothing was ever fully agreed on, so that quickly went nowhere. Which is unfortunate, considering I’d always tried to see the big picture when doing things.
You see, back when I first came up with the idea of the humods, I’d originally wanted to do more then just a podcast. I wanted let’s plays, colabs, voice acting, the works. All sort of creative projects. But things simmered down after I’d messaged and brought in the original four members back in September 2015. Things weren’t going at the rate I’d wanted them to, but we were getting a podcast out once a week, so I was happy.
As time went on however I’d been learning that I was the main one organizing and instigating things, which, despite denying the fact, I’d became the defacto leader. I never wanted to be a leader, I’ve always been following what other people do and providing input where I could. But I’m an endless fountain of ideas and projects, so I was looked up to in the humods as the one in charge.
This was fine for a while, I didn’t care for being in charge, but I was getting the hang of things. That was until around Christmas area. There was alot going on in my life and to put it simply I was getting quite stressed out. I won’t give details, but I was somewhat overwhelmed. I’ve never been good at handling too much information coming towards me at once. In any case, I told the rest of the humods that I couldn’t be in charge of organizing things anymore. I was just too stressed.
This is where, from my perspective, things really ground to a halt. I thought the rest of the crew would take things over for me and I could be in the background for a while, but things never really took off the way I had expected.
From then on nothing really happened. There was always talk of doing something, but due to schedule conflicts, not returning messages, and classes/work (or in Tiger’s case, the time zone difference) nothing ever happened.
So yeah, sorry to say -also sorry I rambled- but unless the others want to do more, then there’s no helping the state of things. We had a short lived but amazing run, and I wish to continue it if at all possible.
So there may not be anything for a very long time, but we haven’t fully gone away. Thank you for caring! ^^
