A few forum games? Some OC. More friendly posting, and more like, friendships. You can't control that, though. We just need more activity, really. Maybe some more sub forums (sort of like *nix, webdesign etc) just make it a more general forum. It'll appeal to a larger user base. Focusing on a Gaia "hack" website is so cliche. Gaia is dying. You need to reinvent these forums to something more people will want to be a part of. I have been thinking about making up a few guides on *nix things, partly because someone PM'd me asking how to configure systems and stuff, but partly because I want contribute to something, and the other forums I'm on are blocked and saturated with people posting the same things. But why would I contribute something computer system related when the forum I'm posting it on doesn't have any interest in *nix systems? You know? I'm just saying, a Gaia oriented website isn't where it's at. If you truly want an active user base, why focus on something like Gaia, a dying website? Make it more general, a place to learn lots of things.

One thing for instance; the programming section. There are so many programming languages. We should split it up into language sections. Sure, some sections would be more active than others, but it would help make the forums look a lot neater, and it would draw an interest to users. When I see "programming" as a section I think it's a joke. If I see "Programming" with different language sections, I think "Wow I'm gonna give this a chance."

I'm trying to be constructive here. These general subjects and concepts with a focus on a dying shitty game for 13 year olds will not bring in a larger crowd.

This forum can still be active, you just have to reinvent it, sort of.
