It happens every once in a while. Remember all those 'THE MOON IS DYING' threads?

If you're brought down by a thread telling you to work harder then you're an idiot

I agree with Kevin... why do we keep turning on each other? Yes, the fact that SPOTM has very few active members can be upsetting, but maybe that's just because there is very little content in these forums that appeals to anyone who wants to join/stay? I know that a good amount of us wants to do something really cool as a community, which is what has been said from the beginning, but nothing is really happening... Maybe we lack good ideas/leadership? But then why does it seem to be so difficult to start any projects that decrease worldsuck? It's not that difficult! I don't really know what I'm trying to say... I guess I just don't want this group to disband due to minor differences... Well what comes across is that in the year and a half this tribes been around it hasn't been able to hold it together, come to conseses and make big decisions. It lacks that leader role, and purpose. And i think we're all wasting our time here trying to get it running. We should be doing things in our communities if we want to do anything meaningful. SPOTM is just for chatting with online friends. This, dumdum.

@everyone
At least I'm being sensible. I've written threads like these before, Jean, and Bree (among others) were never sensible and no one even bothered to do much, just bicker back and forth about the moon's miserable situation. The fact that we're still in this position after 8 months or so should really say something about the tribes' abilities and unwillingness to follow its values.
If Dan come's back and takes leadership of the tribe again, then it'll just be the same old story. We'll mess around for a year, thinking we're doing something meaningful but in actuality would just be wasting our time, because little gets accomplished for all the work and time spent. The majority of what goes on in SPOTM is much like any other forum---games and chatting. Eventually, Dan will try to let the tribe survive on its own and because this notion of a tribe of online individuals who do productive charity work and projects to reduce "worldsuck" is fundamentally flimsy---the majority of people don't have great ideas (look at D3P0!), most (if not, all of us) are naive and underinformed about the world and what is truly helpful, we are generally disinclined towards actually doing projects (just tally the projects attempted and the ones that succeeded), and finally we have real lives that come first---it will collapse into what its become as of now.
Due to my laziness and short attention span, I have decided not to read your lengthy post.: What I'm saying is, don't invest good time, time that could be better spent irl, into SPOTM. I don't doubt that SPOTM can survive as an internet forum, but not as influential online "tribe" of teens. Just remember the words of George Santayana: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Unless you feel like going through all this bs again.

You can do a lot if your friends are in it with you. Its one of these reasons i dont understand why this isnt working. I mean we've all made some friends here right? Certainly... I don't quite understand it either... At least we have gotten some very enjoyable Skype conversations out of it.

Im conflicted. I wanna respond, but I dont really think we should dignify people who arent willing to contribute, or even try.
Like the great Napoleon Dynamite once said. "You got like three feet of air that time." I say we try to reach higher.

^I wouldn't say he hasn't even tried, he said he has made thread like this one before and he knows some of what's been going on here, whether you or me agree with it he does have a genuine opinion.

But we're not at the point yet anyway. ill keep people updated.
