When I was reading through the Linkshells, I saw Crystalline, read that it was temporarily closed and I didnt' even glance at who is in it - even now that it's been brought to my attention that it is mostly the admin of RPC, I really don't care. If you are friends from 1.0 and want to be careful about your linkshell, that's your perogative, and I moved on through my perusement of linkshells looking for one that would fit me.
It wasn't until later when you updated your linkshell with: "It seemed like this could use a bump," then added that recruitment is still closed that I raised an eyebrow. It felt to me, like you were saying "Hey, look at us! We're not accepting new members, but we're important enough to be bumped on a list of linkshell recruitments anyway!" I don't know, I can't say it rubbed me the wrong way... but it might have if I had cared enough. I just thought, "Okay, that's a little odd..." and moved on with my life.
So... yeah. I'll just leave it at that. I don't have anything against you or Crystalline, but either you are closed and private (even temporarily) or you are public and open. And if you are closed/private (even temporarily), then my personal opinion is that you aren't of interest to me or anyone else who might be looking for a place to call home. You can't be both closed/private AND of interest to me. Just my $.02.
I didn't feel it was useless, the bump. I guess it depends what you consider bump-worthy! Personally I find general updates to be OK, seeing as I am prospective member of Crystalline and possibly other communities. Sometimes edits in the main posts will go unnoticed because they aren't marked with "HEY THERE IS NEW INFO HERE" which is where bumps are useful, IMO. That bump did have a few points of info worth knowing, and considering they had no previous bumps... especially completely useless ones, I think it's okay
