Ok. I can see your point. You have big aspirations for this forum and the fact that it's not going anywhere is frustrating. But I don't see why you need to run it like a business. Just because enrollment has stalled and activity is down doesn't mean that you need to delete it because it is intelectually "bankrupt" or something. It is a compendium of knowledge and the sum of months of various people's lives consolidated around the common topic of Brawl. Just because "the scrubs" (as you are fond of calling them) aren't posting doesn't mean that you should delete the forum. I read this forum somewhat regularly (as regular as I can with a ri-cock-ulous schedule) and glean a lot of information from it. Though I haven't commented on it, I just discovered the physics of brawl thread started by fomo about that dude's article. It was really cool and I am happy that I read it. But I would never have found it on my own. I guess I don't really have much of a say as a frequent leech (read a lot, post little), but I don't think there's any reason to shut it down.

There is truth in what you say.
I shouldn't be running it like a business.
I think instead of deleting it, I'll just stop checking it regularly if it isn't bustling around the time I announced.
Sound better?

I've Made a PLS brawlers group on FaceBook with a Link to this site. I hope that helps the forum's population growth.
I recommend joining the group too.

I am too active.
But I'll lurk in SWF to find more information.

The whole "discuss the latest episode of Pokemon" idea is not a good one. They are all bad now.
But this does serve as a social function that allows us to more easily organize events and keep ourselves relatively skilled.

I agree. This is the best place to organize something. Whether it be a small get-together, a tournament, or a ride.
One funny thing is that only the regulars posted on this thread, and that only the regulars will be the ones to know this stuff. Have you guys advertised at PnT or gotten more Shako people yet?

uhhhhhhhhhh are you paying for the server? how much time do you realistically spend looking at this site every day? if the first one is yes, then i see your problem and have complete warrant. If it's no, then you're completely overreacting like, latin america soccer matches leading up to the world cup where the crowds go nucking futs afterwards overreatcing. Oh, and if you spend over an hour on any site, when you have better stuff to be doing (read: stuff irl), then you just suck at spending time appropriately and should focus on that (im horrible at that, which is why i never go to sleep before midnight ) oh and lol at the "then i just wont check here as often" bit. Og, you know i love ya, but seriously? maybe im just naive, but that seems a little high and mighty of yourself. also lol at "we need more activity" "post in this forum more than once and you're banned"

Thanks for the pull back to Earth that I was starting to fall towards already. Oh and for the pointing out of the Paradox created between those two statements, did you ever see how cluttered the "see last 10 posts" function got when people were allowed to go absolutely crazy in the Forum Games section? It was madness.

so?
i thought that's why forum games existed..........
i haven't played forum games since hurt+heal on gamefaqs and some other random stuff leading up to brawl, but as i recall the games placed rules on how often you could vote and some other stuff. Frankly, as long as the rule is in the thread it doesn't seem like it should matter....
last 10 posts were in forum games so that means end of the world or just an indication that a board of friends would rather play games with their friends?
unless you actually use the last 10 posts thing as a means to see what topics are being discussed, but chances are you're already able to notice it because you are either following the topic or you check that board......
i just never understood why you got rid of the forum games in the first place (i didn't even notice it was gone until it was put back in lol)

Not that i'm an admin but I believe whats pulling more ppl to actually create names and stuff is when we have a tourny. By just looking at the results of Pickled tourny, ppl look at our forums. More tourny's will probably attract more people. We should just tell them about the tourny's and then who their hosted by. Plus activity is up once again

I'd just like to inject a thought.
People like me, who don't post all that often, tend to make up for it by posting something really meaningful when they do; or at least really funny.
most of the time, I don't post on boards I either don't have anything to add, or don't have any questions about.
I would look more at the quality of activity than the quantity, Og. you've created a really great community here. you should be proud. becuase I'm proud to be a part of it.
haha there, how's that for an ego boost?
