I honestly don't like what it's turning into

I love what it's turned into.

It's stale and I'll admit I'm part of the problem, well we all are to some degree but anyway it's becoming very shallow it's basically a live chat just without the live part.

We need an ethnic cleansing to make this place cool again.

Non-whites are like soul of the site

Anyway, the problem is people have no reason to post here. It's a hive of negativity, and half of the discussions get shut down instantly.

I'm considered honorary white, right?

We can breed your children white enough for the pending racial laws in two generations.
So you're a second class citizen but at least you're not a Jude.

we should merge flood and gaming imo tbh

Needs more users tbh.

we get more users if we the current ones weren't so shit

This might have something to do with the fact that we're near the edge of a school term and finals are looming over a lot of people's heads. Also people tend to congregate to more live forms of chat like IRC or Skype groups. While I wouldn't mind being in whatever Skype group everyone is a part of, I don't particularly care for IRC but both can be considered a contributor to the lack of posting on here.

Truth be told, it simply needs more people.

It is getting stale.

It's been a few weeks now with little activity.

i just want new people

Go recruit more people dummy.

Recruit
Set up game nights
Get a PC trend for Sep7 going
Suggest stuff to cheat, find people to help him
Jew him
Advertise
Record videos for Sep7 in name

We could go down the bungle route and make gimmicks galore.

-said no one ever.

Live chat rooms.

fuck is IRC

We've been around long enough to become memesters; the Seldon Crisis will center around whether we can be non-shitheads for more than a few seconds at a time.

There's no reason to discuss something away from users that already know what's up. And what would be discussed that we haven't mentioned already? The only issue is a lack of active members. Keep in mind when viewing who's online on the front page, during prime time a good half of them are just lurking.

This isn't some site destroying crisis, we just need more people.

Is Cheat and co discussing this or not? I really feel like we should bring about changes to improve the forums

The site in its current state is the reason people are leaving and/or posting less, by not doing anything about it or changing we can assume the site will continue on this trajectory. If there are lurkers and newcomers we need to give them a reason to stay, I like this place I don't want it to fall

Communities like these are held together by people holding a number of similar interests. Ultimately what people need to realize that this is simply an off branch forum with a community inside it. There's nothing wrong with advertising, getting new people, and increasing activity, because you make friends that way and the community becomes stronger. That's how B.net was before Bungie lost sight of themselves.

Ultimately it's those friendships and positive interactions we have on here that keeps people in. If you're not attached to the people you communicate on here with, you're not going to be attached with the entire site itself. That's how it was for me when I first came here, I didn't really have any connections with anybody here except for maybe Das, so I dropped off the site, and legitimately only come back for one other person. However in returning I made more friendships and had more positive interactions, you guys keep me here just by going through the motions.

Of course I'm not like everybody, ultimately there's going to people that want more than just to post dank memes. Game nights are perfect for this, but it seems no one is really in the mood to do it since people have a pretty split opinion on almost every game. If we had more newcomers, game nights could become a more frequent experience since you'll have a larger pool of possible players.

Also, the drama against other users certainly doesn't help. When you have people bitching and moaning about one another, that might be more detrimental than the place simply being slow.
