Be the change you want to see
make an OT!
Don’t have the time or motivation right now (work stress and health issues) and mostly fruitless outside of major releases as the few I see get made sink like a stone anyway.
As I’ve said before, they should really just drop the OT tradition of needing to sign up and make a first post with a lot of info. Keep it for the big releases where members want to sign up to make a fancy first post I suppose, but for other things just let members start an OT to chat about the game with no special first post.
If it were my site I’d consider scrapping Communites are that’s pretty slow and rebrand it Game OTs and Communities. Smaller game threads might get more activity if they could stay on a front page longer instead of immediately getting buried under game news and console warring threads. The non-gaming stuff in communities that’s active could just be moved to Off Topic.
Just my two cents on how to maybe get more OTs and more posts within them. The site is fine as is, would just be even better with more and more active game OTs.
