For the last two or three weeks, I have noticed alarmingly little activity.
I suggest we all post this or that from time to time. Otherwise our forums will be dead as a doornail, like all the other now-defunct scenario design teams.

I agree. Also, I think we should change the forums back so guests can no longer view forums. I think this actually reduces activity, as you can see at a glance what's happening (if anything).

Agreed, Jatayu. I was hoping to get the theme running with a story/screenplay of sorts, Monty Python style, but my time and inspiration have both been very limited

Agreed. Only sometimes there's just nothing special. So post what ? That's a question...

You could post a poll of the week

I completely agree with the thread starter, and with Sissi. We need what they call "heroin content".

Err, I think the source of our problem may be that we are a design team that does woefully little designing I'd suggest a project thread or two, maybe a thread to discuss HSC or ACSC entries, etc. Assuming people are actually designing things.

To be fair, we probably do as much designing as everyone else. It's just that doesn't actually mean a great deal. I suppose we could daily pledge to maintain activity. That would keep the posts rolling in.

I'll be more than glad to help this forum with activity in the role of the lovable tramp. Just let me see the monthly announcements.

The problem is also that threads with only a phatic purpose, like Splash-splash, Corrupt a wish and so on, do not work very well in a small community like ours. Not enough people to keep such things alive a long time. So perhaps with another kind of thread... let me think, perhaps I've got an idea.

I believe that the reason for it, is because of the need to be heeded. If someone has something to say and it doesn't have anything to do with designing, he more likely will post it on AoKH forums where he will get a larger audience.

Now I've think it over and have 2 suggestions :
1° A thread about the theme (which could also last more than 1 month). Named f.i. "The Cyclopaedist's dusty library"or sth. In there, every member could post a short article about his sham new personality, either a serious one => historical info, or a funny parody.
2° Since we've got members from all the world, or nearly, we could have a thread where we post a bit if info about what's going on in our different countries. Same, choice between a funny or a serious piece of news. And that could be the "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern report..." thread.
What do you think of it ?

Is it just me or is AOKH down?

It is down for me as well, and has been since I woke up. Strangely (and alarmingly) there's nothing about it on status.heavengames.com.

Same for me, no way, absolutely nothing happens.

They're not bad ideas, but they're also ideas that require a commitment of more time than most people have lying around.

imo this will take much less time, since in that case you won't change the theme each and every month. I had an idea people were not too eager to be admin so often : loads of work for only one month... I'm probably wrong, as usual
