Outbreak Community 2017

[M1nt-l0u 1,235]

The year 2017 started with a sign of hope, a new year usually gives a good starting point for projects; a place to look back to when things are accomplished. Here we are, five months in, bringing that marker with us because it feels like nothing has begun yet. The staff team has changed, the members have flocked back to their educational villages to live their lives, to open their minds and try to make a better person of themselves ready for the real world. The thing is, Outbreak as a community needs to have its own development as well. We can't be in the past forever. We need to (sometimes) accept the differences and try to progress in a way that is dynamic so that we can retain our long term members. We need to be adaptive to bring in the new ones. 

I feel that there are a lot of untold implications that are stirring around this community at the moment. Opinions and ideas that are boiling up inside a quiet army of directionless staff. The thing is, that these thoughts are unhealthy for this community if it wants to keep the flag high up in the winds. 

The last 3 years have been very traumatic for all of us, we've had a tectonic shift in how we've functioned as a community. We've all had to face some very difficult choices. Choices which have separated and divided even the strongest of friendships. They say that time is a great healer, that time brings us stability and strength. I feel that since the summer of '16 we have drifted apart. And that the wishful thinking of recovery has been wiped away due to the stagnant approach we have taken so far this year.

We can discuss it. We can debate it. We need to FACE IT. There are few who can change the future of Outbreak community. There are many that can actually make that happen. We are fed up of being told what's right and wrong by those who wish to privatise our servers by purchasing a dedicated box hosted in FRANCE. Outbreak community should be supporting local, British businesses, and should be free at the point of use, funded by a more economically sound donation system. I want to change donations to be an optional amounted, permanent addition to one's membership here at Outbreak. I want to downsize our servers to serve only the purpose which we desire. 

The only way we can do this is with a Labour vote. We cannot do this by continuing to support the Sir_ConServatives. On June the 8th, make sure you get out there and vote for what's best.

I like how mintlou writes out 3 long paragraphs trying to make a serious point. Then just throws it all away with some edgy memes at the end.
