Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - How about shutting down the TB a few times a year?

Just how much are we willing to do to encourage users to come to discuss more than the TB?

Are we willing to force someone to visit other forums at the expence of those that are participating, and enjoy the TB?

See, we already have mods encouraging people to leave the TB. Our mods are making sure that post counts are not the sole item on which one maintains participation in the TFP.
Our mods are looking at our post's quality, not just the number. I'd think it's safe to say that if one had 1000 posts of "i'd hit it" that person would have recieved a challenge to discover the rest of the board.

I imagine it's very difficult for Halx, and our mods, to decide where the line is drawn between encouraging users, and forcing them to behave as we want.

Though I think it's good you are looking to improve this place, and I support you for it, I think shutting the TB down regularly is redundant to measures we have in place. I also think it would make those of us, like you, that participate suffer the loss of something we do appreciate.
