Okay, so as we all know SF has been a bit dead lately and there has been no real activity among the forum. I was thinking, maybe If Omniscient put some time in to properly advertise Support Forums that we may thrive once again like we once did in 2010-2011.
It's a real shame to see a forum with so much potential go down in activity and It's a forum I love dearly. Maybe making an official thread on HF to advertise Support Forums may help out. The new Staff Member decision was a great and wise one.
If Omniscient can't and doesn't have the time to keep the Twitter account updated then why not let someone else handle it? Keep the updates flowing and make sure members know Support Forums. Maybe a shoutout on the HF Twitter about SupportForums would drag and attract members to come here. Members come and go and we don't want that.. We want members to come and stay and not to even have thoughts about leaving.
I know that most of Omniscients time goes on his main project which we all know is Hack Forums but maybe putting a few hours a day towards SF would be extremely helpful. I know that Omniscient is a very busy person and has to juggle all these things at once and I know how hard that can be but Support Forums right now needs a bit of maintenance and a bit of loving care should we say.
I'm not ranting about the forum because I do love Support Forums and It's potential is huge. I just wish we were more active and had members coming and staying rather than coming and going. A few groups need new leaders also due to their inactivity around the forum, I won't point out which ones as I'm sure we're all aware of which ones. Just places here and there need work on and need activity flowing into them.
Like I said I just wanted to express how I felt about activity, not raging at people. I just think I needed to say this.
