It's that simple. I've tried patiently to encourage more posters only to not gain any real traction on that.

So far this year to date, we've got 1,996 threads created and that includes the ones that I'm using in the background.

I've got another major upgrade to do here but I don't see any real reason to do it. We live just fine in this version. In fact, I sense that it's going to just stagnate or it is already dead and all that's left is the kicking and screaming.

So here it is,

We've had a very steady decline of participation. Looking these numbers, I installed a tracking system in March that tracked participation based on subforums. It has given me this top 20 list.

So I'm going to take the first steps in making an evolution. If I'm going to put in a considerable amount of work or ask other people to put in that work, I'd like to reward them accordingly. This is why you may have noticed that there is a post looking for writers.

There's a couple of things that are going to shake out of this. Either the community starts to actually discuss things more than just posting images, or the site does it's death spiral down the drain.

I've allowed those that felt it was more respite to post imagery more than discussion for a good 6 months, and it hasn't netted us more traffic or discussion. In simplest words, it isn't what this space was to be about. It's supposed to be discussion. Look at the numbers and tell me what you see.

Those of you who recently have restarted posting new threads, thank you. Keep up the good work, even if no one responds initially. It's how discussions start, someone has to start it. Thank you again.

I'm open for discussion, but at this time until further notice, I've removed Nonsense/Fun Zone from the New Posts search again.
