So, as I promised. Here's be Suggestions, removing & replacing SS-Lv & Pi-Lv. With lucrative, non defining and more versatile labels. Originally, when I created these, I thought: "Hey! With Upgrades being so prevalent, there should be newer, higher ranks." But then the site evolved, and I realized I was going in the right direction, but inadvertently went in a circle. Adding two ranks solved nothing, but place a cap on capabilities as S-Rank did. So I had just prolonged the gap instead of doing anything about it.
All in all, that's my suggestion.
I would add more specifics to this suggestion, like a direct way to replace the ranks, but I don't know if this will be taken seriously, and it would be fun to see what you guys come up with, if you understood and decide to take this suggestion to heart.

Multiple Scheduled Advertisement Contests [Bi-Weekly]. Carried out on clock no matter what. Monthly is too risky without a site that has a solid base+[15] Members locked, not to mention, it promotes growth and spreads the name, and helps members grow their characters faster. Also, IT MUST HAVE A good reward, expect a 100+ sites from me in less than 3 days. lol Always go with good rewards, especially early on.
Alt: Hire Advertisement Mods, or Ad Mercenaries[Like Myself;Not Available tho]. Who would spread your name continuously instead of ad every 2 weeks by giving them proper rewards on the site. [Make sure they keep records of their ads, so ya'll can authenticate their work] Win-Win: "The site spreads in growth, and they receive stuff to allow for them to RP properly with the new members;" Incentivizing peeps is always solid.

New Skin. I don't know. Not really that helpful. Let me design a better staff section, maybe? I don't know if I'll be capable of doing so, but that thing should definitely be replaced, despite the fact I made it. xD

Nothing RP-Wise since you guys have reset, essentially, RP-wise. All I can say towards that is what I've already suggested, try to gain members through referral options / advertisement contests. It's a very steep method, but low-mem sites should use more dirteh methods like referrals. Oh, and push ahead. Don't let things stop you like member stagnation or lack thereof. It's best to keep moving, progress the story like a book even if you have 3 people. More will come! lol, as the legendary voice once said: "If you build it, they will come."

Taste the Rainbow. Taste the beautiful Rainbow. Hire more staff. New staff, especially someone with equal power to Akita, and someone who's decent - intelligence-wise, like Akita. If you feel spicy, then more power than Akita. Regardless, just more Staff. Remember, fresh is always better. I promise, if you did staff apps, I won't apply for everyone's peace of mind. xDDD

Remove General Missions, solo-verymuchremove. Add realistic mission experience/feel, have staff or "pseudo-staff" act as NPC's for missions. Have staff create specific missions for all villages, maybe 1 for each rank for each village, and update or add every week? All Missions would require either a Staff / Pseudo-Staff NPC. Don't really got anymore more to say. With that, word count can be removed...entirely. Only when the residing NPC'er accepts the mission to be complete will it be completed, or failed. True Missions this way. Fail Factor. Such Realism. Much Wow.
Also, Pseudo-Staff are Members who are entrusted with being impartial in Missions and have the capability & activity to post. A rule, however, should be that they are in one mission at a time, as to not get overwhelmed and can finish a Mission immediately, then move on if one is Pending. They are, of course, compensated for their duty. I recommend at least 3/4 of these right now[So Pending Won't be Much of a Prob;YESICAPPEDINCORRECTSTUFFlol]. Expand in amount later.
Edit: After reading this over a few times...My final outlook on this is to remove Missions altogether. Missions is such a flawed concept, I regret doing it like that. Absolutely horrendous. Just make Plots + Missions a thing, like Naruto doing a Mission that would develop character. Like...the real mission of the series? Zabuza~ lol. A plot that involves a mission at its core, but is a plot. Tbh, even if you guys somehow came to an agreement to doing my last two paragraphs, it would only hide le problem. Missions be impractical, that ain't going to change unless you pay incredible attention to it or remove it altogether.

Item/Weapon Shop...seriously. Just think of some acceptable items and Add them yourself. It's soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo thin.

PLEASE fix the outlook of the Uchiha Clan Page. That ish is nasty. That's all I really had to say about that.

That's pretty much it, tbh. I'm sure I can go on all day with various suggestions and opinions, most likely incredibly complicated or intense one's that'll modify the site, but I withheld my tongue on that 'cause you guys are doing well and I want to see your growth without me. Albeit, now that makes me seem incredibly arrogant >_>; Sorry. HOWEVER, sticking to the topic, I didn't want to say anything too intense because I'm usually intense, so i only used soft touch suggestions.
Here you go Hiko, hoped that helped, or will help?
You don't need to reply with a response to every single one, really, just reply: I'VE READ. Because I don't want to reply to a long, and maybe violent reply[Could happen;ain'tnobodygottimefordat], if you have questions, Private Chatting Exists. Hehe.

Edit: Just had another suggestion. Plz. Pls. Please. Make a better Advertisement. No offense to whoever made it, but I just saw it for the first time and was...idek. It literally took me like a few minutes to read the entire thing. The fonts are sooo hard to read. The purple ones, I given up trying to read, that ish is impossible. Me: 0. Ad: 1. The naruto font letters look squashed. Me: 1 Ad: 1. I do like the symbols tho. Me: 1. Ad: 2.
Dayum, I lost. Anyways, simplicity is always a good way to go.
