It seems a little like the general forums have been getting the majority of views. That's normal, they're intended to have the highest activity, but there's a lot of other stuff around as well. I figured that I would list some of the places where members had worthwhile discussions and topics in the past (or have potential for more than they previously had), which are being somewhat ignored today.
*******************************************
Trivia Forum: If I remember, this was originally a 'hosted forum' that became quite popular, resulting in its inclusion in the official forums. Stuff continues to be posted there, but not much. Perhaps it would benefit from some activity, knowing how much some of our members used to post there.
Debate Forum: There wasn't really a time when a lot of threads were posted there, but often specific debates would get a lot of activity. They can be light, hypothetical, political, scientific, or whatever else within realistic limits. I personally feel that the stuff that went on there was worthwhile, and still is, but more activity there would probably be a good thing.
DarkStorm: It's a roleplay forum, and you can take it to whatever extent that you would like. A few members have been coming to me over and over recently about it, hoping for more activity, but I know that it's somewhat ignored. Some I know are also overwhelmed by the rules... But they aren't that complicated, and if you aren't that into the stat and competative aspects of it, it's possible to exist in it for just roleplaying and nothing else. To help you get started, a "Starting Out" page was created with a short list of the necessary rules. Really that's all there is to it, the rest is a lot of common sense and intricacies.
Otaku Forum: Never was that active, but a few members want to make it active. It's an anime/manga forum, and I know that many here are into that. The forum is there for you.
In terms of the community, I think those forums are in the most need for increased attention. If you would like to post your ideas, feel free to reply with them. This thread isn't about listing everything, but for the forums most in need, I figured that it would be good to bring them some attention once again.
Oh, and on a slightly different note, we probably could benefit from a newsletter again. If anyone is interested in working on one, please contact me... The easiest place would be on MSN Messenger.
