I've not been on the site long enough really to be able to comment on the workings of the machine inside our happy little place. But I have been an online gamer for over a decade. Before that I did my STing on table top and rolled dice much like the rest of you probably did. I have no real opinion on the new ideas, I would however propose a wait and see period to see just how well things go. Then if need be perhaps review it in 3 months? It's just an idea.
I know that everyone gets bored when there are so many shiny happy people that don't do conflict, conflict can be healthy to a degree, but I have also had a bad experience in the past on another WOD site that I'm not going to name here, the back biting and sniping rapidly went from IC to OOC, and at that point I think things kind of snowballed into a really bad experience where no one trusted the STs to be fully impartial.
On the whole, I am very very happy with the site, I like the camaraderie and openly pleasant demeanor of all the members. And I also agree with Damon and Mnemosyne with their view on the RP. All sites thrive on the active investments of RP from people and player input.

"It's in the blood,
It's in the blood.
I met my love before I was born.
He wanted love,
I taste of blood.
He bit my lip, and drank my warmth,
From years before, from years before." ~ AFI - Love like winter.
