Spoiler (click to show/hide)Look I'll be serious I haven't been on pretty much at all lately, I play maybe a total of 3 or so hours a week now. As a temp vip I was extremely active and looking forward to acquiring the responsibility permanently, the problem is life just happens. You're right people do grow bored of the game and some people just outgrow them but for some, other things just come up, real life things. It's for that reason many vips and admins don't play anymore or play a limited amount, myself included. So before you spout off how inactive certain VIPs become just recognize that there are times in your life too in which your free time will be extremely limited and I guarantee you will outgrow or become bored with more than one hobby in your lifetime.

>People who overtime spent large amounts of their time on the forums, servers and Etc. being friendly and buliding up friendships with others in the community who which after earning the trust that they can be VIP submit an application. Everyone agrees and that person lives up to their role.
>People who just quickly try to apply regular and soon afterwards try to apply for VIP even though they recieve generally negative feedback and try to sound as if their the the new "sliced bread" of the Forums, servers etc. They also think that any VIP is inactive for 2-3 weeks mean that they have to be demoted immediately.

Honestly, I just want VIP just to help out. if regulars actually got power, or if there was something in between I'd go for that I don't ever plan on going for admin or higher, too much responsibility lol... It's not bad too much nowadays because we have active VIP a lot of the time now, but not always, luckily we will be getting Kahuna soon <3 but even so he won't always be on, so there will always be times when there are no VIPs on and annoying crap can happen.
"That Tag is it's own issue at times (people play nice when they see a known "vip" join) but at least some players pay attention to whats said when they see it." I agree, sometimes people completely change how they act.
Though I'd also like to add not always was this the case. In the past I remember there were 2 people who had power(because I'm nice and I don't feel like causing shit, I won't name them) there was guys RDMing and acting like asses, and they were both AFK. And it was annoying as hell. And I told the 2 people with power and they didn't see it so they weren't kicked or anything(I believe. Memory is tad foggy but I remember being very annoyed about it.) And I remember I said "why are you guys here if you guys are just gonna take up slots and not even play."(something like this) and one of them said "if people see a VIP/Admin they are less likely to be bad." which is funny because earlier people were doing shit and they were not punished.
Now this happened a few months ago, but I think it should still be brought up.
One of those people are now pretty much completely inactive, they were a shitty VIP as well but it doesn't matter apparently because no one ever loses their rank unless they abuse their power. and the other just doesn't play on TTT anymore I think.
I doubt I will ever get VIP even though I think I'd be great for it. Maybe because I'm too active on the server obviously I need to become inactive and just play L4D2 to be able to get VIP. :fire:

VIPs make mistakes. VIPs just as everyone else might go afk for certain reasons. VIPs cannot be on all the time. It might be hard for 1 VIP to keep track of everything. VIPs just like everyone else get bored of things. VIPs just like everyone else have their troubles and other things in life. VIPs live in many different locations and not all are able to get on by the time the servers go up. VIPs just like everyone else might want to relax after a hard day, therefore managing servers may be too irritating at that certain moment. VIPs just like everyone else want to have fun too. Demoting VIPs for inactivity would decrease the chance of having one on, not by much but it would possibly add up eventually.

what's that supposed to mean?
Also Hideo, I know you're just trying to help out the server and everything by applying for VIP, but you aren't the one for the job. Don't turn this thread into your "I'M NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR VIP OMG IM IN THE TOP 10 ARE YOU KIDDING ME" thread.
