Its the middle of November and there still hasnt been a November claims topic created. On top of this something like 3-4 series have called it quits or changed their title. Is the site still going or what? Im very much intending to continue Catman depending on if the site will be updating or not.
Just a little concerned is all.

I don't plan on quitting anytime soon, and I know neither does Adrini and Dob. If I had official admin powers (which can only be given by C_Miller), then I'd clean up the site. If--or hopefully until then--I can only act as a moderator.

Here's the skinny:
I have not had the time or energy to keep up with the site lately. A year ago when I volunteered I could, but since then I've mvoved to a new state, gotten a new, much more intensive job, and have been trying to get back into the habit of writing regularly, but I'm often in a state of mental exhaustion making it difficult to write something that I'd be proud to post on the site. Now I still plan on writing and finishing my titles, which are what I've been trying to focus on.
I've asked Adrini and Drake who have both gone above and beyond in different ways to take up Admin positions, but that in the end is up to C_Miller alone, who still owns the site. I've PMed him about it and I haven't heard from him yet. (Please don't take this as a cue to pester C_Miller. This time of year can be busy for a lot of people). The final decision of whether to accept new people as admins is up to him.
You have every right to be concerned. I'm trying to find ways to reorganize my schedule and find ways to be able to write a decent amount on a regular basis, as well as keep up with the site's functions. In my opinion, I wouldn't be able to do much good as admin if I couldn't also regularly update my titles, which I'm working on.

Just as a kind of suggestion - why not move to a new Ultimate DC site?
Then you can decide who is Admin and who isn't?

I suggested this a while ago but then DOB got made into an admin so everything was good. I still think its a good idea to move though.

There are a few problems with moving:
1. All interested internet traffic is directed here, not to a new site. We even have a link on TV Tropes.
2. While I'm sure at least some active writers be able to move their stuff over, anything by inactive writers including the original universe stuff could not be transferred over, as that would violate the Proboards ToS and get us in potential legal trouble. No, seriously, they've shut down other sites for less.
3. Something similar was already tried a while back, admittedly under different circumstances. It ended up just being a competing site which leeched a few writers who would have otherwise contributed and failed after a few months.
4. I can tell you right now that if I barely have time to answer questions on this site, I certainly don't have the time or energy to set up a whole new site. Nor would I be interested in starting from scratch.

I've got to back Dob on this one. I'm already writing a lot. If we moved, I'd have to commit entirely to All Star. I might stay on as a reviewer but beyond that I'd be absent.

If that's the case then forget that. We have right now about four consistently updated titles. If that's all we have then so be it. I'm okay with it

Catman Gotham green arrow and the birds. I wasn't counting supes and wonder woman. So I guess 6 is the right number.

Theoretically Haven counts right now, but since it's moving over to Knights I guess one is fine (one that updates twice a month tho).

We could use some new writers, but we're okay.
