124 total pictures, compared to 600 last year. Wow, what a decrease in photos sent it by players only a year on! Lets look at some of the reasons why there were so little entries for Staff Appreciation Week on bootleggers.
Declining player base - players and declining on bootleggers, interest is being lost. I myself have not been playing like how I was a year ago. It seems that people are losing interest and quitting the game, or not participating in such activited.
Excluding several staff members - 1 Help Desk Operator and 3 Bootcast DJ's do not have pictures submitted for them. While DJ bootcasts are not as high profile as say a moderator, the could still have their friends submit pictures if they had a picture up there to print. But this didn't happen. Also, it seems a bootcast DJ tried to submit his picture to BSF but we all know how bad he is at updating stuff quickly.
Less player creativity - Last year, it was all about creativity. You had to make your own sign. Creativity went into this, and it really shone through in SAW 2008. In fact it's great to read all of the signs. This year, it's mandatory that you have to print off the picture sent in by a staff member. Loss of player creativity right there. This is certainly the main reason, as I know people who have tried to create their own signs, only to have their photos rejected. Last year, this would not of hapenned.
Having to print the picture - This can exclude many people, who don't have a printer, or like me use a laptop computer not connected to any printer.
There you go, just some of my thoughts as to why SAW this year has declined so much from last year. We will see what will happen next year as I sure BSF2000 will change the format, somehow. |

Bootleggers: Approximate number of SAW entries for last year - 600 Current entries for 2009 version (which I assume will end on Monday) 65 Is it because of the creativity? is it because of the new print out a picture rule (which you can read about in some of my other articles), because maybe the staff are not doing such a great job? or another reason. All questions worth pondering. |

As I was talking about a few weeks ago, SAW (staff appreciation week) on bootleggers has begun. Players submit photos of themselves with a picture that generally says I <3 xxxx staff member, like last year. This time however, staff members have each submitted there own photo that each player must hold up otherwise it wont be accepted. This is silly in my opinion, do they need to inflate their own ego's even more? BSf's picture says BSF rawks my socks (or other), so everyone who wants to nominate BSF as their favourite staff member, has to use the picture he made himself. I don't like it. Also part of the fun was seeing what creative messages people have came up with. You can still add your own message on the picture though, but it seems that generally people have not been, as there is not much space on the picture to do so, or people would have to write it up on another piece of paper and hold up two bit, and, neeeh who wants to do that, I don't blame them for not. Anyways, it still is fun look through the submissions and seeing the wierd things people have done in their photo, and look at all the photos of bootleggers players. It's fun to see such a .... diverse (is that the word im not really sure) amount of people playing bootleggers and submitting their photos. I just hope there is a player appreciation week or something, for all the people who have bought points to help keep bootleggers alive. Probably not but hey. |
