However, I can understand if they're trying to do their own thing in the mind that they might be able to more regularly maintain a site, for example making certain the Free Company advertisement tab is on a regular schedule to clean out disbanded or long forgotten FCs. I know that a good quarter of what we have on ours is dead, disbanded, or renamed, and it's often times confusing for people looking for Free Company's to discern the difference without having to check through sites, lodestones, and more to make certain they're applying to an actual FC.
You bring up a really good point...
A website is only as good as it's contributions.
I maintain the FC/LS themes thread and man... folks change groups like socks. >..> Problem is when members "can't be bothered" to submit the new information so that others can find it. Then folks complain that the FC and LS listings are empty. Yes, it takes effort, but that's how you successfully build up a group. Sometimes I wonder if people are just okay with creating a group and letting it die within a relatively short amount of time due to the fact that they don't want to put in any effort towards it.
I will admit, I do wish there was a way to flesh out the FC listings besides individual player contribution cause I feel that doesn't work.
