I'd consider moderate traffic in both to be the most healthy indicative of the board's state.

It seems like common sense to me, but maybe that's just me.

Based on the number of active users we have, the activity in both sections seems normal compared to other game forums I'm a member of.

Okay. I'm not going to get into an argument with you, Musicman.

I'm not trying to be argumentative, just stating personal observations. Not even sure what you'd be able to argue about. :|

It seems to me like the problem that Linkayu had was the number of currently active users and not their distribution.

Though, again, I'd rather just drop it.

I definitely wouldn't say that I had a problem with it, I was just agreeing with the observation that other member made.

ZeRoc's list of possible reasons for General's lack of activity:
1. TES:O.
2. School's out, and people are enjoying Summer.
3. Simultaneous coordinated raptor attack.

I'm pretty sure it's the boards history. I did some calculations and the post/day and thread/day average runs to about what you're saying.

It's also Velvet's page.

I've just noticed that General is moderated by TPMs but now there are no pinks! What is going to happen in this newly lawless dystopia?

Ok then. Anyway, it's Musicman's page, since his post is at the top. :D

Aarah, all greenies are pink at heart. :heart:

So if we started doing competitions in chat for real prizes would you guys be interested?

But it's not for I've claimed it for the glory of the Dovah. *sticks a giant flag into the page*

Beta got sacked after AKB caught him in bed with a commodore 64. Beta got his green coins and became a greenie. :)

Talking about oneself in third person is the first sign of madness.

Prizes? You mean flat screen tv or games consoles?

Most likely it would be like a trivia quiz show with a prize of $10US in points for Xbox, PS, or Steam.

A trivia quiz show sounds fun. (but will it have a cheesy host? :s).

One of the Mods would host, so I guess the answer to that is yes?

Well, if it was free, i'd be up for it. Though I don't know many things, so I'd probably lose at Trivia pretty quick.

Chat's already a barren wasteland most of the time. So it might liven it up.
