I appoint TimeLordPlanet VP. If he wishes to reject this appointment, he may.

Acknowledged. This acknowledgement does not mean that TimeLordPlanet passes the activity check quite yet, as a response is required.

Bump.

If I can get a scratch-forum bot to work, would you like me to set it up to bump every time the thread slips off front page, but prevent it from spamming?
I'm pretty sure bot accounts are banned for everyone except the ST.

Hasn't a new rule concerning userscripts and extensions more explicitly outlawed that?

UPDATE:
78ch3’s Everything Shop has a new banner. We also have only 2 members, me and PogoThePenguine, so I am the only representative. My shop needs help. I need staff to join urgently, since we had to fire inactive staff.

On queue for update, after the activity sweep.

I would like to announce a resignation for SolarWind Stores from the USS.
This is due to inactivity on my part, and the shop has gone under as a result.

However, to anyone who may read this, our shop needs a Bumper: All you gotta do is bump the shop once a day (and only once). To apply, please comment on my profile

Acknowledged. Removal may take until March 7.

Thank you for participating in the USS.

Does this forum have anything to do with shops anymore?

Yes, that is our main focus (alongside management of the system and subsidiaries.)

Due to Austinato's inactivity I would like to propose that we move to another thread so that we can control the FP And have a serious restructure. Does anyone have a problem with this?

This is no longer necessary, at the moment.

How long has he been inactive?

I began becoming inactive last fall, about October 2017, but I'm almost completely back.

Can start it? If not can I at least take some of your stuff to make a shop association

You are welcome to, as we cannot prevent you, but direct copying of our system I despise.

As I closed my shop, I will unfollow the topic. Just wish I had really understood what this about.

Thanks for participating. Also, since you were confused, hopefully the simplification of the USS (which is coming soon as per my previous post) will help newcomers understand this much better.

Well.. you don’t need to understand now. Austinato has become inactive .

Was, hopefully.

This was a great place. Maybe we can revive it somehow?

Thank you for seeking interest in reviving this.

This thing became inactive a while ago.
Ah

Your application is not being ignored, rather being put on pause for now. We are open once more!

I guess there’s basically no hope of reviving this place. I think it’s kinda dead now. I want to bump it up just now to prevent it from falling into the past, and so that old members can discuss what to do with it. Btw I was never a member but I read every word of it’s 116 page history

Hopefully “no hope” is a false statement now.

(But thanks for your efforts while I was gone.)

I made my own next generation federation, and it now has 16+ pages of history and is holding a presidential election (with a very high turnout)

Congratulations! I look forward to working with your federation in the future.

“Next generation”?

If the USS is coming back, your gonna have to do a huge reboot of it.

That is what I am planning, as per my recent post.

Glad to hear!
I look forward to continuing the longevity of one of the most prestigious Scratch shop organizations.

Thanks for the optimism!

Additional statements:

For those who were planning on moving the USS to another topic, thank you for having the motivation in keeping the USS active during my inactivity.
For those who were planning on making a spin-off/similar federation to the USS, you are welcome to.

Activity Check (of February/March 2018)
February 27-March 6, 2018

Our activity check has concluded, and a formal post thanking those who have been removed for not responding to the USS, will come soon.

From February 27 to March 6, 2018, USS members had the opportunity to respond to this check by posting at this topic or messaging me on Scratch elsewhere. Those who had not responded within the given time will be removed soon.

I sent notifications to shop owners and head department members, but did not have the opportunity to send it to individual representatives and subsidiaries.

Posts from after my big announcement were automatically considered active.

You have over 50 shops to check for activity, that's gonna take a while.

Hey you! Yes, you! I know you're reading this, so you should check out these things that I've made below!

MasterOfTheTiger

Yes, TigerStores has folded (technically I made it a store with a bunch of subsidiaries, but for all practical purposes it has). In and Out is technically still going, but is extremely inactive (no posts for a few months). My current shop is MasterOfTheTiger's Shop and its doing okay. I keep going out of business because I advertise it too much and it takes too much time to manage. Now my shop is just for people that need stuff and want good quality stuff and quickly. I don't advertise it much (except my signature) and I only have one person working there. I have high standards for hiring because I have had bad experiences with members (particularly people that work for many, many shops).

Hi. My shops application got accepted months ago however it is not on the list above.

78ch3

I respond to the activity check in behalf of 78ch3’s Everything Shop.

Also, we have 5 members. We are looking for 2 more members. An activity check resulted in loss of all staff. I hiried a User, but they were inactive due to a holiday, which was not scheduled. We now have most of our old members, with 2 new members, but we need some more. Please help!

Sup, I’m 78ch3, person on the internet, TBGForums Member, owner of 78ch3's Everything Shop™ + The United Shops Of Scratch + Scratch Shop Reviewers Federation, and a very lazy person in general (IDK why). My pronouns are she/they for anyone interested. The bold orange words are links. Click them plz

I mostly play Fortnite, Minecraft, the Touhou Project series and Terraria.

Oh, you won’t see this without a ctrl+shift+down.
People need better thumbnails.
Also there's a lot of anti-kumquat equipment to protect this siggy but the kumquats are too scared to come within 100 kilometres of me. Perhaps it was the untold events of September 9th, 2018.

Being a new entity, or shop, you can apply to have it added. Just note, you'd represent both In & Out and your new shop, and that your application will be reviewed in a week.

ncro2005 wrote:

Our activity check is designed so that to know that someone is active, they come here, rather than the other way around. This reduces the amount of effort a slight bit.

(Also note, we also have up to twenty additional individuals and four subsidiaries to also check for activity.)

Your shop should already be marked for assistance, but population changes will be added in about a week. I plan on creating a post where “now hiring” shops are added and removed in about a week as well.

Partnership with SPA

I am proud to announce that we are now partnering with the Shop Partnership Association, a shop association owned by hellounicorns2, and started on February 6, 2018.

Please treat our partner(s) with respect and if they need help, feel open to help them.

This is one of the few actions I plan on doing until next week, when a lot of the USS will be updated and applications will be accepted.

You may visit the SPA (and I recommend following their topic) here.

The partnership is now active on the condition that we will support each other (as shop federations/associations.)

Thanks for reading,

I'm welcome to competition, in fact we have had competition throughout our history. I prefer partnerships, and if we cannot secure them, oh well - competition time.

Yep- and I secured this deal so quickly because the USS would easily win any competition with us

. I prefer partnerships too, as both will grow and help each other out. The reason I didn’t call for a vote on this was due to the fact that I had to get in early, and I kinda wanna be friends with austinato so he can give me some tips
