thank you trolls but you give me much more credit than I deserve. I agree that more participation is actually what makes the forum active, which relates both to features like guybrush suggests (such as plug/discord voice chat) and to initiatives like you mention (you do the 6pack thread for instance and YorkeDaddy had some good ideas a while back when he was more active). I doubt that moving to another place would help with that though. We have a forum that's very easy to find, a discord for the voice chat stuff, and the means for all these initiatives and opportunities in our hands. It's mostly just passivity, of which I'm guilty too.
I think there is an aspect to the decline in activity of this forum that's hard and maybe pointless to fight. Forums are outdated so we don't attract many younger people (and we're insular which doesn't help) and the older people often seem to become less active exactly because they're getting older. We're busy, lives change. And I think switching to a medium that attracts a young crowd might defeat the purpose of this place.
