The Community Leader program on the original VMK was to re-open with a greater participation rate as said by Yavn himself in a Newsletter.
"First up, some news you've been waiting for about our Community Leader program – we've talked about this before, we're in the process of re-working the program. I'll tell you about how the new system will work in a future Newsletter, but for now the current program's being put on hold as of October 24, 2007.
If you're currently a CL, the CL status will be removed from your title/character name on October 24th.
Remember, don't get upset if didn't get a chance to be a CL. We're re-tooling the program to make it better, so you'll have more chances. We'll have more details soon. Stay tuned!"
Once again, management has disappointed me. Also, I see people recommending people to become a Community Leader, which means the people being recommended are significantly popular. It just seems like only the significantly popular people will get accepted into the program. Secondly, the max number of Community Leaders should be based on how many applicants there are that actually have a chance in making it and how big the community is. The community only goes up to what is it now? 500? But 500 people don't come on everyday, only 1/4 of that number do, so it's only safe to say that there should be around 25 Community Leaders at this time.
This is a community leader program and everyone should be able to participate.
