Aura Forums

is there another format that this place could be spun into to make to increase the activity?

You mean instead of a forum? I'm not joining Facebook, if that's what you mean.

I think instead of a forum, but I'm really not sure.
but Facebook? HELL NO.

Forums are pretty effective at what they do,

They provide a place for people to talk about a variety of things, we just got nothing to talk about, it seems.

Also, we pretty much shunned the addition of new members for a long time in what turned out to be a pretty effective strategy. The two major factors of that by having next to no visibility for a long time and by having no primary purpose after dropping the Final Fantasy angle.

With no fresh blood, it stagnated pretty hard core when peoples activity dropped off. Still it's nice to have for the memories and stuff, looking through the archives, the Forge, even old general threads is pretty fun for a nostalgia run.

I've thought about maybe making a Wordpress front page section or something, but I don't really know what the focus should be about or what I really want to do with it. So I left it.

One day, 2047 or so, I'll come up with something.

I'm on the Facetubes but I'm gonna delete my account soon, I think, dickheads making 15 posts a day about their cats or whatever other bollicks popped into their head that day, is beginning to piss me off.

Edit: He replies almost 2 months later.

fuck it, I'm gonna start posting here more often, even if it's too myself.

My evil plan, is to post something every day, that way I'll eventually either;

1. Go mad.
2. Fill the place with just posts by me.
3. Re-ignite some form of minimal activity.
4. Go mad.
5. Get boreded and give up.
6. Go mad.

One of the three. I might roll a d6 later and go for whatever comes up, I'm THAT dedicated to this course of action people.

We're up to part 3 already, nice.

I'm taking a kinda of field of dreams approach, not "if you build it, they will come" cause that's stupid, place is already built more of a "move into abandoned building and and act like a nut job, people will call the cops and then gawk at the spectacle"

reform it into a porno forum.
activity increase guaranteed!

This it true, but also this is the internet, if they wanted tits (or dongs if you into that kind of thing), they don't want to talk to other weirdos about it, there's plenty of places to watch it, uninterrupted.

I'm going to kill myself, then learn how to ice skate.

Combining the two would be the most efficient use of your time, kill yourself with ice skates.

Or just go ice skating. It's a fucking death trap.

Making effective lists is number 14 on the list.

I merged a few forums, because fuck you.

When it hasn't been posted in 2 years it's really hard to justify, I designed a new skin, hopefully we can get that installed somewhat soon (eta 3 months) so this can be a slightly prettier graveyard.

It might encourage posts, I doubt it, but meh.

I like the new skin. But can you make the font on posts slightly larger?
