I'm making this thread, not to try and troll, but because I feel it is a necessary question to ask.  I was talking with some people who frequent this forum and we noticed that there is a lack of an aura of fun on the forum.  Sure the site itself is growing and the viewing threads are entertaining, but as far as the forum as a whole goes, it doesn't feel like it is as lively like it was when I first started posting regularly.  There isn't many forum games anymore (especially with the long hiatus to BLC).  There isn't any goofy fun threads to just post in.  A lot of the weird characters that used to create mischief are gone or banned.  It feels vacant and is making the forum part of the site feel rather dull, because we as users have nothing fun to do.

I guess my question is: what can we do to make this place more exciting and more compelling to post on?

And as an additional question: is there any new features you as mods can add that would add some interest?

Don't have to put up with PC overreactions on the IRC. Can just **** with each other and be ***** but realize it's all in good fun. HOP IN sometime. You'll see what I mean when you get kicked instantly for being an ultra absorbent tampon who can't handle jokes.

And I'm probably leaving a lot out. You guys have fun with your Rappinpap's and your WastelandWanderer's and OutlawJoseyWales though. Meanwhile the majority of the users who made this forum interesting will be in the IRC if you need to reach us.

@Anaconda   I use both.  Primarily because I like both.

Which is all good. Most of the others on that list have given up hope on the forums here.

And yes, the type of "racism" I used was clearly used to stir the pot. Unless I blacked out and posted "I hate ******s" like 50 times.

I'll gladly wait for you to find a post of mine that was purely hatefully racist and had no sarcasm/humor attached to it. Dig away.

People make event threads before you, you delete them, and remake them yourself. I'm the one with a messiah complex though.

If you make them better than him he won't delete them...he will still make his own, but people won't post.

@OldNick  I was wondering the same thing... until I started placing higher in comps.  Then I didn't notice.  :D

Though I may be boring, I am no robot! I try to be as active as I can on here, but I tend to slack a bit at times. I'm not exactly sure what IRC, but I usually split my time between here and Sherdog.

@GreenHornet - I'm asking because I'm interested in what type of an answer I'll get. It's a rhetorical question.

"hasn't @live2wrestle been presumed dead at least twice?"

Depends on who you ask. Messiah had a mental breakdown because he thought I died when I wasn't on for a few weeks. I looked like a guy he could have been friends with if we were the same age, you know?
