A few personal developments have come up in my life recently. I'm moving to a new location and will be unable to work until then. To keep busy, I want to focus on my writing and improving this forum.
Obviously we've been slow lately. It's understandable. Everyone's got their own things going on. This isn't a business. It's a message board. No one's obligated to have stay here if they're not having fun.
That being said, I'd like to open this forum up to more people. I've been shy to the idea in the past, but I personally don't mind an influx of new members now. As we saw with Franky and several others who have joined recently, only Franky has stayed long. About 10 to 20% of members actually stay, so even if we were to somehow get fifty, only 10 to 20 would stay. That I can easily handle as an Administrator.
But how would we get new members? I've suggested joining two more RP forums myself and advertise this place in my signature (to not be a horrible nag). I can't seem to find any that aren't over 1000 members or inactive. Do you guys know of any personally?
Also, would you like anything new out of this forum? Some of the other sections of the forums are pretty dead. I was thinking of keeping the sections, but reducing their presence on the main page. I'd rather keep the more active sections in the front to avoid looking like we're dead.
Anyway, CJ out. Let me know what you think! Type as much or as little as you want. Criticism is welcome!
