Jesus Christ, I leave you people alone for two years and I come back to the house on fire. I read this about twenty minutes ago and was thinking about the legacy of FIW. I don't think there's any question that if we wouldn't be ranked the number one e-fed in our time then we're at least in the top three. But, the world of the internet has changed. I don't think e-fedding can ultimately compete in this day and age of the internet. E-fedding lived and thrived in a more primitive time. We didn't yet have Youtube and Netflix and the extent of social media as it is today. There was less to do, less impressive things to do, less immediately gratifying things to be done. E-fedding by its nature is something that requires time and effort. Things change and evolve. The big thing used to be chat rooms. Then for us the big thing was e-fedding. Now it's social media. It's like video formats--the big thing used to be beta-max, then VHS, then DVD, now blu-ray. I think we were roughly VHS. But, we did more than to be expected with our time. I think, in terms of legacy, we're comparable to ECW. It was a lot of really talented writers working together to make this place as great as it could be. There were highs and lows, but I think if there were a crowd to chant twenty years down the line they'd be chanting F-I-Dub. We were the right people to come along at the right time in wrestling at the right time in the internet, but our time has likely passed. It was lightning in a bottle. I hope we find some way to keep putting people in the Hall of Fame. Just to honor the best and the brightest. (...yes, I just plain want to get into the Hall of Fame, sue me, jerks.) |

E-fedding is still pretty big. Bigger, even. But it's mostly on Twitter now. So, the train keeps a-rolling, but it's a bullet train now, or one of those fancy Disney monorails. |

Hmm, a good DBZ RPG. Now that's hard to find. I go to EWC and it's a pretty active and awesome board, like any place it's not without it's drama. If I may, I've said it many times in the past I'd take the spot of fedhead, and I think, if I may. Can I? Maybe less a FedHead as more of a caretaker until something can be decided with the fate of FIW's future. Does it continue as a brand? Do we find a fed that'll affiliate and display us in a NWA/WCW days past type deal? It's possible. Possibly turning it into a Lucha Underground type story telling board where it's user base and if you want a match it's up to the two users? It could happen. Give me the keys to the place. Will I reopen FIW? Maybe, will I definitely think of doing something with it? Definitely. I think there's a niche market and while the efedding of old is still out there, I think there's something to be used with the wealth of history this place has. Could it be used for an angle in another fed where I gather what FIW alumni I can to lead a ECW reboot or Invasion story line? Possibly. I have ideas. But I can definitely take over and fix this place up to give it the respect it deserves. |

Not my fed to hand over. If people want to keep going, that's between you all. Lemme know if you reach some kind of concensus. I would like to add that the board looks like hot fried ass right now because of the switch to Zetaboards and nothing I've done. Had I my druthers I would've left the place looking keen for posterity, if nothing else. |

I mean if Billy wants to do that, hell i can throw a wrestling stream vid evrfy so often, just so people have something to check back on while we can figure something out. Seems like its just me and Billy, if we could get admin powers that'd be neat as it seems to be just the three of us here. |

Two dudes who haven't been active on the board is not a consensus for me to be handing over admin shit. If you guys wanna make wrestling streams or do a video fed or something, go for it. Post links to advert here if you want. But I don't think here is the place to bother housing it. It would muddy up what fresh new things you're trying to do with fifteen years of archives unrelated to your product. The "community" you're talking about being here isn't here and hasn't been since about November. There's maybe five people active on the board right now and most of us are only doing so for the last show. There isn't even enough of a user base here to hitch a wagon to. I'd argue you'd cause yourself more PROBLEMS by being attached to the FIW name than making good shit happen for whatever projects you have. Get a Twitter. Start following people. They follow back. Easiest way to get traffic for your stuff. If people interact with it, cool. It's taken off. You rock and you have your user base. If not, it wasn't meant to be. This place can stand as an archive just fine. A monument to the good times we had. Things are different now. Go carve your own futures. It's totally what I should've done half a year ago.

Dang, this saddens me ![]() I was fedding for a LONG time. One day, I decided to stop due to my life not really allowing me the time RP as much. So, I had about a 3-4 year gap between my last fed and this one. Once I came on, it was awesome! The atmosphere was pretty good. The overall vibe was great, and for once I didn't care for winning. I had a ton of fun here. Out of the blue today, I decided to check on FIW, and maybe read up on some shows. Then I came across this, which made me incredibly sad. I wish nothing but the best to all of you going forward. If any of you would like to chat with me (For those of you who even remember who I am ) my personal Twitter is @NiFederico. Take care guys, and hopefully I can see you all down the line.

Okay so who would myself, Ryan and Billy talk to about getting the keys? Lets say we want to run FIW and have a lot of people who would like to come to this fed with us running it? Who would we talk to? If you 4 don't wan't to play/work in the fiw game no more, thats fine. And the archives would still be here for yall to look at. But some of us would like a shot to keep the fed going and we think we could make it work. If it doesn't work it's not like the history would get destroyed either. I understand a lot of you are moving on to different things like the tiwtter style feds and thats awesome. I wish you guys the best in that. But I think, we could keep FIW alive, I've met a lot of new people who would definitely come this way if I spoke to them. I think that there is to much history here and it would be a shame to just shut down, specially if some others want to try and run it. When Craig wanted to quit there was like 5 or 6 people who wanted to GM. Why don't they get a shot? It wouldn't hurt any of you to pass the keys our way and give us a shot. Shit, you all might like it and come back to this style of e-fedding eventually to. Alls I am asking is for you to think about it. There is seriously nothing to lose at this point. You had a shot, do we not get one if we think we can make it work? |

Maybe it's not for me to say... actually definitely not for me to say since I'm not a member of the FIW hierarchy... but I would say if you can't get the keys, find another door, or a new building altogether. I'm all for a resuscitated FIW. It's only been a couple of months, but I'm twitching for a fix of actual role play wrestling. Tried the Twitter thing. Not the thing I'm looking for, and nowhere near the replacement I was hoping it would be. Sufficed to say, if you're going to breathe new life into FIW, I'm totally there! Have you tried contacting the last admin group on Twitter? I'd expect you'd have a better chance finding them among the living than in this graveyard. |

Billy and I were rather disappointed, but my passion and admiration for this board is still here. I still have respect and feelings of accomplishment that still resonate with me.here. Seeing it like this saddens me too. This isn't how FIW should end being a white and orange relic. |

Hey man, thanks! I too find twitter fedding not as fun or satisfying. I could reach out to him on twitter. I hope they actually hear me out. There is only one way to find out. Lol! Btw add me on twitter @ewcRobG maybe if he see some support to have the torch passed he'll be willing to giv us a shot like he did and the person before him. |

I posted this thread on December 27th. There was a month where people could've stepped up with some manner of support and attempted to inherit the fed. Many approached to express their remorse, many agreed with me. Not until January 24th did Seph suggest he might take things over. I told him it wasn't my decision; FIW elections are determined by vote, not appointment. Billy offered some light support. Seph assumed this meant he "won". It makes more sense to me that the current roster should be involved in the vote as opposed to two guys who haven't had anything to do with FIW in some time. Two then-current roster members stood up to vote against the fed continuing at all. Craig agreed with this sentiment, as did Lita and several others back when I originally posted the thread. Another month passes and interest is once again renewed for some reason? I'll put it in plain and simple terms; if you haven't been active on the board for six months it stands to reason you don't get a vote. So that's three then-current roster members in favor of shutting it down and none against. Or, one against if we count Adam's recent comments. Even if you count all former roster members for whatever reason, that's five for, two against for the initial polling. It would indeed be five to five if we count Adam, Kyle, and Jes... but again, I don't know what poll allows its results to be altered over a month after it's taken. I am also disappointed FIW is closed. But the vote stands. You wouldn't accept it if we held a poll, Seph won, and then a few guys showed up a month later claiming it "didn't count" for some reason and asking to take over instead. This is no different. Again, if you guys wanna go start your own fed somewhere else, go for it. Invision forums may be gone, but jcink, zetaboards, proboards, and I'm sure many others exist where you can make a brand new fed all your own. Many of them even have similar coding. In fact, I would encourage it. Feel free to advert it here. MAKE YOUR OWN MEMORIES and stop clinging to a legacy that barely exists outside the confines of this forum. Revenant Wrestling has quite the ring to it. RevRes. Have at it. But I'm not changing my mind on this subject because it's not my call to make. For the record, FIW is a terrible way to try and reach me. You each have me on social media in some form or another. Use it in the future. I will not be coming back here. |
