Since the topic is locked, I will use this topic to discuss my own personal thoughts.
Everything was going fine before this nonsense started happening.
The leaders of UU and ZAM kicked out all the current admins of ZAM and members of UU, and now it feels like 2013 all over again.
The topic title says it all, "The Rebirth of UndeadUprising." I for one wouldn't reconsider this as the rebirth of UndeadUprising and ZombieAnnihilationMod. Maybe the clan wasn't working out properly, maybe things started to collapse/crumble, or maybe it just died out of no where. Who knows?
This change should be impacting everyone who is apart of the UndeadUprising clan but it isn't. Certain people do seem to care about this, but they are all reacting to it differently. Also, certain people don't seem to care at all and/or haven't heard about the news/announcement (rebirth of UU and ZAM) yet.
I'm not saying that the leaders of UU and ZAM should take the blame for all of this nonsense. It was their decision to do so in the first place. It should be the rest of us that should be taking the blame instead. Maybe you guys didn't fully understand what Griggs said when he made that topic. At first, I didn't understand/know what Griggs said in that topic, but after reading that topic over and over again it made more logical sense to me. I just wanted to thank gart3 for taking his own time to make another announcement. I feel like doing that, people managed to calm down, people started having a better understanding of what's currently going on, and people didn't have to worry a lot (that much) anymore.
Seeing the "Recruitment Forum" change was a bullshit thing to do in my opinion. You can't really apply for UU, ZAM, or the UU-Subdivisions (I'm not too sure if that's true at the moment, but I feel like it is true). Now, all you can apply for is "ZAM Staff" at the moment. I cannot believe that they decided to make it really "easy" to make it in as a staff member, and really "easy" to get kicked out of the team. All you have to do is follow the requirements, and make some type of bunker that they will enjoy implementing on the mod. Who even thought of something like this? Most of us remembered/knew how "hard" it was to become a staff member, and how "easy" it was for the leaders to kick us out (if they had a reason to do so). Why couldn't it have been the same like it always was? Why did it take you guys this long to make a move like this? If the leaders of UU and ZAM care about the community that much (a lot) shouldn't they be making a move/transition on a daily basis. Just a thought.
Ever since I made it back into the clan (about 3-4 weeks ago before this nonsense happened), I promised you guys many contributions that I am willing to give in/to this community. Did I ever get the chance to contribute to this community? No, not at all because you guys didn't give me enough time to contribute to this community the way I wanted to contribute to it. Maybe I might get another chance to do so? I'll just have to wait and find out.
With the previous staff team, I could/would care less about them. There weren't that many staff members at the time, and they just started becoming lazy, and inactive. I just hope with this big change that there will be even a better staff team then there used to be. Let's just wait and find out.
I personally hate/dislike having to start fresh once again. But guess what? I'm going to have to deal with this fresh start no matter what really happens.
I feel like this community will "officially" be back in business (to normal) once everybody gets their ranks back. That seems fair enough.
But overall, Indy made some pretty good points regarding ZAM and UU.
