I was thinking, what if the site were to have more staff positions, like maybe: Graphics designer, or event and update planners and stuff. I think it would be great if you had more suggestions for that, by the way, if you are taking my idea cn you consider me being graphics designer!?!?!

I don't know what the others think, but I personally think that staff will be chosen when needed. Our staff is well aware of how we are doing, and so I think we will pick out more staff when necessary. Besides, a lot of the people on the staff can already do graphics. :3

I am aware of the fact that some staff can do it, but there are alot of people here and they would like a time to shine aswell, i think you should broaden the amounts of positions, for different types of jobs personally.

Even though we have a lot of members, it seems that many of them aren't active. We are planning to have another activity check soon and deleting those who are not active. Kind of sad to think, but I'm afraid we're going to downsize at least half. >_< I still believe that no more staff as of now. Unless almighty ruler Shana says so. :3 Even then I'll probably have some argument..

Well i would like you to suss it out with her, because even if you are downsizing un-active members, think about the active members that want their chance to shine and be a part of the staff, seriously i mean if someone in the staff was asked to do something alot of the time they dont actually do it! (not mentioning names)
all im saying is, even if it ws a tiny, tiny kind of job, you should still make them, people here would be happy with that, that i all we are asking.

RULE 1. Respect all other members.
Saying that was not a good choice. =/ Don't go to negatives, please. I don't mind you debating this, but it does annoy me a bit when members ask to be staff. But since this is the "Comments, Suggestions, and Critiques" board, and I am not the supreme authority, I am not saying anything to stop you.

Well, the way I look at it, if you make more staff members, almost all of us will be part of the staff. There will be no regular members anymore. No?
The balance is good for now, and there is nothing wrong with the site. As Isis said, Graphics Designer positions are filled by a lot of us staff already. Maybe when there's more members? I doubt Shana will hire staff if someone asks her to do so, though.

Also, all members are allowed to contribute in ways of graphics design without becoming staff; their name goes up in the pokedex with a little thank you. If, for any reason, I find our current staff cannot handle the way things are going, I will choose a position either by having people apply, as happened last time, or by having a member that is just extraordinarily helpful and contributes without the need to have the power to change headers and footers. Because, to be honest, that's basically the only thing staff do that we won't let members do.
However, the site is running perfectly, in my opinion, with the nine active staff members we have. As for events and updates, well, we already have many events and updates planned because our staff tend to be extremely multi-talented (most of them sprite, roleplay, mod, plan events and more, all in one handy sized staff member). So, the answer is no, however should the number of active users go up, and the current staff cannot handle it, we will upgrade our staff.
Edit : Don't actually do it? We do actually have lives outside of this little pokemon site. Our staff don't want to spend their entire lives modding for people when they might rather read a book or something. As soon as remoor turns into a chore, that's when the staff members quit. It's happened before. We'll mod when we a) get muse for it or b) don't do it. Remember that we are staff so we can enjoy it, and if we get pestered 24/7 with people going OMG MOD MY THRD PLZZZZ, it's just a pain in the ass.

Sometimes I feel like the only staff member that can't sprite. It's really a blow to my pride that I may not be working up to my potential, especially now that I haven't been doing much modding lately. I promise to try a bit harder in the future, though.
Back to the main point...it seems to me that there are only a handful of active members that aren't staff members, as Misbe already pointed out. At this point I'd say we have more staff than standards.

Silly Shana and her edit. :3 But I see I'm not the only one standing with the opinion that we don't need more staff. Well, that's good to hear. Bones, I can't sprite either. D: Annoying I know.
