So what was the reasoning behind this? Why was this email sent out to so many people? What's with the sudden interest in reuniting the old users and bringing activity to these forums? What did you hope would happen, and how would you all rate the success of this? What priority does increasing activity take, and what would you be willing to do to achieve this goal? What has been tried in the past, and what was the success rate of such?

Question
Question
Etc.

Well what do you think Derek? We mailshotted this to approx 1,000 of old members with the hope that a few of them would return - a few of them did!

Ideally we'd love to grow the forums again and figured tapping into the old userbase would be one way to start the ball rolling.

Increasing activity is definitely a priority as we would love to have more interaction with more of our members.

I see nothing wrong with wanting to bring more life back into the forums. It seems to be working because a few of us old members have popped in such as I.

gotta love brizilian jiu jutsu!!

I think there's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said about old-school forums, or general purpose forums. I think I could only give support to you, and hope you bring back purpose such as the MVPs you used to host.

You did a pretty good thing when you integrated the gaming forums into the main site and allowed guests to post. I remember being run over by guest spam back in the day, because I was on more often than the other Admins.

I would like to show you something though.

Last year we had a guy named Samgladiator sign up for one of our forums. He's a 1 million subscriber YouTuber, and wanted a place to send all of his subscribers. He was looking for people to sign up for his role plays as actor / builder/ writer positions. While he had his applications open, things were good. The following screenshot only shows registered users;

https://scontent-atl3-1.xx....573949A4

Things were good so long as his forum had purpose; actor applications. As soon as he closed his applications, his forum died down. They became general purpose. Yes, they're still incredibly active, but nothing compared to when they had a specific purpose.

I think eventually you'll find a good use for these forums. Some way to target a specific audience.

EDIT: Your image tag could use some work.

I remember the days when I could post with people and get replies within a few minutes down in Forum Games.

You're right. But in the long term it was good, because I was such an idiot when I was 12.
