From NorQuad
Long before joining KAG and starting the IKV Fist of
Kahless in upstate New York, I helped run an online gaming guild for a
few years in the 90's. During that time I saw some of the older
members lose interest and drift away. Sometimes they'd regain
interest, sometimes not. The head honcho at the time always
wanted to cut them from the membership rolls after a month of
inactivity. I thought it was foolishly short-sighted and wasteful
of personnel then and feel much the same way now.
Long time members shouldn't be devalued because they
aren't playing as much anymore. They're full of experience that will be
useful to new members. If they can be enticed to come out even once per
year we are richer for it.
I'd love it if every member of KAG was really
active, but devaluing the contributions of the less active doesn't help
anyone. If we make the less active long-time members feel like they are
wanted and welcome, maybe they'll start being more active, maybe
not. Either way, with the lines of communication open we can
learn from them.
