This isn't about welcoming new comers. This is about attracting them.

Directed or curated image threads do attract people. Examples that have caused crazy traffic is the Ziegfield Giles and Cosplay threads. The single handedly accounted for record breaking traffic to he point that the server was stressed.

Halx did make these same appeals. He used more stick instead of discussion with the community.

I'm not trying to change you. I'm appealing to those that participate here that if they just continue to response.d only to discussions and no one creates them we will have nothing to discuss.

Is no one posits discussions then what will people responsed to?

Since I see the writing on the wall of the steady decline of created threads I'm reminding people that responding only to threads gets is only the same 50 funzone threads. After a while that gets stale and how so you attract new people to something as esoteric as "Post an animal?" Or "post a circle?"

Inasmuch as you are stating or implying that I'm not doing what the community wants the last time I posited this 6 months ago and you have your way and method we are where we are today.

I can easily point to the statistics that show posting new threads begets more activity than your method of participation.
