So, having looked a bit at the stats on the bottom of the page, it seems like there's a steady decline in recent years.
I thought that the rise of indie games like Minecraft would have more of an effect, but I guess most of those guys go to tigs or PJ.
I doubt we could actually reach the former "glory days", which seems to be in 2007-2008.
But it would still be nice to boost the stats a bit, especially the amount of replies which are at an all-time low. So threads are still being made, but they're not getting much attention.
I think the first thing needed is to bring back the old skin! The forums lack the former serious/slightly intimidating aura that the skin brought.
The current skin is just so uninspiring, I can promise that there will be a stats boost when the new skin is implemented.
I also think we need more activities, the Totem pole was really fun and a nice initiative, but it didn't get any closure?
I'd love to start an activity thread, but I'd have to do some planning first.
Tile-based collaborations haven't been done in years it seems, would be awesome to have a new one of those.
