Informational 📣 Let's Shape the Future of Our Community – Your Input Needed!

[Inkwarden]

Hey everyone,


I wanted to take a moment to check in with all of you. Over the past while, I’ve noticed that our growth has slowed a bit, and overall interaction across the forum isn't quite as lively as it used to be. That’s not a bad thing—it happens in every community—but it is a good moment to pause, reflect, and figure out where we want to go next.


This forum has been shaped by the people in it, and I want to make sure we’re moving in a direction that’s exciting, engaging, and meaningful to you. So I’m asking:


What would you like to see more of?
What kinds of content, features, events, or discussions bring you back here?
What directions do you think would help us grow and thrive?


Whether it’s fresh content ideas, fun events, better tools, social media presence, or something entirely different—I want to hear it. No suggestion is too big or too small.


Drop your thoughts below, or feel free to message me directly if you’d prefer. Let’s build something awesome, together.

If anything, I think (for me anyway) too much events, titles, etc at once when we're still processing a new platform can be overwhelming, I think sometimes less is more, and the sudden new stuffs overload might have led to things slowing down a bit - I could be wrong.

I still think the media section should let us instantly see what's new, even if it has to be not folders, the current look not only makes it feel stagnant even tho people ARE posting new things, but requires making extra effort to find what's new inside the folders, so we just end up missing out.

As someone who has posted some media, I can agree with that idea. It seems hard to get any interest in media posted, and it is easy to miss new media

I think the main goal should definitely be to grow with users, and grow a lot!
The vast majority of members only lurk and rarely if ever post. I think that applies to every online community. But if we have enough members a small percentage of active members can still be a lot.

How to draw more users? Advertising is tricky as its not allowed in most places so if you have any ideas for that? Also just spread the word. Tell your online friends!

I agree with Jaro. I've no nposted alot myself due to persobal reasons but plan on in the future. More users would help but i have also noticed peacyically nonobe logs in to chat anymore. I've only see Guv'nor and Snoek in the last few weeks. I understand time zones cause issuea but more people logging in refularly woild make it what this site was to begin with, home

I have struggled with posting lately due to real life getting in the way, but now I have that under better control I am planning to be back more regularly.

I think that we have a good formula here, but have been victim to the summer period distracting people's attention. Maybe its worth sending a reminder to members that the forum is here?
