I know things have been at a bit of crawl around here within the last year. I know with all the great games coming out it's kind of sad so I'm trying to put some things into motion to bring this place alive again.

I think one of the main things we need to do is send a email to show everyone we're still kicking. Additionally, we need some fresh ideas so we'll have something exciting to put in the email. Basically this is a brainstorm topic on how we can improve ourselves and get things back on track.

We still have a decent number of people hanging around here so I'm confident we can get some more activity going, but things need to be more interesting. All the topics feel kind of outdated now. What can we try that we haven't yet thought of?

An idea I thought of is possibly member points of some sort? It doesn't even have to count forum-wise, it could be like a game/contest to see how many games or books members can finish this year?

Yeah, that could work. I know we used to do the Games Completed this Year, maybe something like that?

Maybe I should go ahead and send the email to let people know we're making a revival attempt.

That sounds good. Once more, Gamer's Planet will dominate the Internet activity and take the top spot in active forums! :D We'll also have peace. :P (Was thinking of Star Wars III, so dropped the reference)

I wish we could get this place back like it used to be. Other forums I go to don't have the same feel, the members aren't as good. I like the people here because you get well fleshed out opinions and people aren't always at each others throats. It's relaxing these days. Wasn't always like that but everyone we have now seems polite. You go to IGN and it's like entering a hornet's nest. :P

I really like this specifically about this site. You seriously have people attacking each other on just about every board, but not here.

Yeah, I just wish I could get some of our members back posting again. Thing is, we have a pretty consistent core group. It's not super active, but we keep coming here.

Why not make a discord? It's popular atm, and thanks to its mobile support its pretty convenient. You can make different channels sort of like this place has different subforums, so it can kinda serve as a chat version of the forum.

Other Zetaboard i'm in is in a similar boat, while we still have the forum we get a ton of good discussion in the discord.

The wee laddie makes a good point, but you have to remember bugbag still has dial up, so odds are he'd never be able to use discord in the first place

That, and we don't really have enough active members to warrant a discord. This little corner of the world seems fitting enough, and it'll die when the time is right.

Discord is basically like most chatrooms (IE the one on the front page). But with more organization options, convenience and free voice chat.

But yeah if its not good for some of the members it might not be the best.

I'd be for discord, but only if it got the proper activity level. I participate in some gaming streams that use it but I haven't really used it yet.

Yes, Discord can be useful for this kind of thing!
