Hey guys! Hope you’re all doing okay. Staying safe, staying cool in the summer.
So as the title says, I am thinking about taking on another person to help me run the blog as a mod. I’ve actually been thinking about this ever since this blog became more popular, but I have been hesitant.This is for a couple reasons.
The first is because I made this blog with a specific reason in mind: to design pride flags for identities that other flag blogs would not make them for. As more people started coming to this blog, however, the types of requests I would take on expanded. So now this blog is for all sorts of pride flags. But this also meant that the number of requests I would take on increased, and now I have a large list of requests that would take me a very long time to fulfill.
Despite this, I am still hesitant, mostly for the second reason, which is that I don’t want this blog that I’ve taken so much time to work on to be hijacked. Pride-Flags-For-Us was one of my favorite blogs in its prime. I was always excited to see what new flags were made for these identities I hadn’t heard of before. Watching it get taken over was heartbreaking, and also made me extremely wary when it comes to my own blog. I’m just the kind of person who likes to keep to myself and try and do everything myself as much as possible.
But that’s not really fair to you guys. I know this blog constantly comes to a crawl because I don’t have a lot of time or energy, and it ends up taking me forever to get to all of your asks or to fulfill all of your requests. I only JUST finished answering the last ask that was sitting in my inbox, and I haven’t made a new flag in a long time.
So I want to know what you guys think. Would you prefer if I take on a mod? This blog is for you guys, and my lack of spoons is hindering its capabilities.
If I did have another person on, they would probably only just be a Member for awhile. Their main duties would be to design and post pride flags that are on the request list, so it would be preferable if they had better artistic capabilities than I.
This is already long enough as it is, so leave a comment or reblog with your opinion on the matter. Thanks everyone!
