It seems the best way to make GD active is to make a thread discussing the best way to make GD active.

:olo: Great thread. Lots of laughs...

You guys are forgetting one thing. First you need an admin that would actually be willing to make these "changes" to the forum. Without that, you're just pissin in the wind...

De-mod Dimbrain and Daft. Problem solved.

People leave when the sense of getting a fair shake is gone, duh. Only hardheads like myself stick around to torment said douchebags.

So, what's your aim with all the white knightin bro?
White Knighting is defending women on the internet Duminic. And with you being the only woman having posted in this thread, you fail again.

Yes, sometimes it does.
Randy has visited a parrallel universe where Q3W merged the forums with the least amount of traffic and witnessed the outcome.

Pretty much all my threads are instant classics.

funny thread, but yeah... new ppl will come when there is something for them to find/use... dont get me wrong, you guys are funny as hell, but really its just a good read and not something that a noob (like me) can get involved in as i/we dont know all the quirks etc that have developed over the last however many years. just keep on keepin on i say. but the level editing forum is fantastic as a q3 mapper. very helpful regulars etc and i assume the other sections coding etc also fulfill a role but general diss is just that, general diss

but thanks for all the lols :D

That's the intention, hence the thread title. And when there are more posts in the main forum it generates more posts from the regulars, so you end up with more activity than just a combined post tally from multiple forums.

This isn't a thread suggesting a way to attract n00bs. That's not going to happen.
By "regulars", do you specifically mean you and Doombrain so the two of you can continue flinging shit at each other like you did in the previous 2 pages as well as every other thread in the Void?

I think the sum total number of threads would be the same in both cases, just those who would rather skip the flames can just poke in GD and skip the void. Personally, I think we need some new blood and some new things to talk about. The last time we consolidated forums, it was to get rid of some of the really quiet forums and hope that there would be some more activity. We have less empty forums sections, but we haven't gotten any more activity.

When the Void was created it actually killed the more active forum and caused a lot of posters to leave.

No, by “regulars” I don’t mean Duumbrain and myself specifically. I mean the people who “regularly” post here.

I don’t think the sum total number of threads would be the same in both cases. Traffic generates traffic. It’s the way forums work.
