It's awfully quiet for a weekday. Things have really changed here since they got rid of the 4 GADs :( even the number of reviews and walkthroughs has dropped dramatically. People aren't copying and pasting like they use to. (stares @ Garin)

Maybe we should do what Grix suggested and get rid of the WLT and stop you all chatting about everything and anything in one single thread. It's not even our WLT anymore, it's a fake! It only lists posts as far back as 2006. The thread is a lie just like that cake I was promised.

Nin what do you suggest we do to get the forum more active again?

I got a little confused when I couldn't find the WLT, but yeah guess it makes sense to change it. Hopefully more people will visit now!

If anything like me there are 3 things that reduce my time on these forums.

1. Work. 9 hours at work kills too much time of the day to do some work.

2. Fallout 3. One of the best games evar.

3. I'm a sleep.

The alternative is to let the users talk utter drivel like some other forums I've been on and pretend it's just the forum being busy.

Most other decent forums I know of aren't that busy either at the moment, so it's not just here. Ignore the Doomsayers and just tell people about the site.

I'm sure people will find it soon enough.

Build a time-machine, go back and don't alienate 90% of your user base. It's too late to fix things now. This place needed to find new members 18 months ago, it didnt, more left, the forums got streamlined, terminal decline.

It also means I get the welcome thread back, so kills two birds with one stone*

So new people can come here and instantly know where they can post, while being given instructions to post their own threads.

Everyone else needs to just try harder! :)
