the reasons are understandable but for others paying for accounts i think they deserve it. i myself don't have a flawless account because i don't see the worth in it. i love the site the way it is...don't get me wrong but if the staff can't get on the same page than why not get a new staff? just suggesting it. times are tough and i understand that but understanding does not make up for its flaws.
here is a random question...if the staff and or owner of this site was offered by the WB or MK team to buy this site...would it be considered?
another question...are you guys going to E3 this year and if so will you stream it?
I lol'd at the new staff comment.
Anyways, we're not in disagreement about the proposed changes for V8 but the main people who have the final say lead very busy lives and MKO is not their top priority. There is a great deal of work that goes into redesigning a site, adding certain features, etc. I know I'll get yelled at for saying this but in the end this is a fansite. You can't expect people to drop the important things going on in their lives in order to make MKO the absolute top priority.
As for your other questions, the decision to sell the site would be left to CCShadow. E3 is always a possibility, but there has been no interaction with Warner Bros. yet that I am aware of. Midway was much more hands-on with the various MK fansites.

There are other mk website such as TRMK and Kamidogu that have some really cool feature, and are regularly being updated. The lack of updates have made MKO slowly become unpopular over the years and this is really starting to show. Making features and updates can't be that hard. It's doesn't necessarily have to be a totally new version. But please.....this is starting to get old.
Is it really necessary for the whole staff to come together and discuss the changes, outline the time timetable...etc? Can't one or 2 web designers just call all the shots, and then show the results to the rest of the staff for approval? Just a thought.
In the end it comes down CCShadow having the time to get to the site and program in the features and some of them can take a great deal of time. MKO does not use a site template. It is created from scratch using a special code CCShadow created. He is the only one who knows it extensively enough to add the new features. He wants to do everything at once. It was hard enough for him to find time to be at our meetings and he is the one doing most of the work and has the final say. I'm starting to feel like a looping record here.
As for the rest of the staff, not everyone has been at every meeting, but all of us still have a voice and we have areas that we are in charge of. There have been meetings about site design etc, that Crow and myself have not been to as we have very little to add on that subject.
All that said I can still understand your aggravation at the long wait since V8 has been discussed openly on the forums by other staff members in the past. I can't tell you one way or the other that V8 will be launched in time for the next MK game or ever. Wish I could, but I can't.
