I was hurting too Tikay. But then that worked too, as it motivated me to bump my own diary.
I think the s/w is a factor - much more modern stuff out there, allowing pictures and allowing more than one owner of a thread would help (e.g. for running community comps/challenge threads). I know Tikay fights our corner on that and I live in hope of an improvement.
Poker traffic and hence community traffic will be slowing down with the lighter evenings.
I think the site has a dilemma with the forum, People who use it regularly see it as a vital part of the site and a key reason for staying. However we keep getting told that it is only a small % of players who use it. Low single figure % iirc.
I think the site needs a proper social media strategy - they clearly want people to interact via facebook/twitter as that may drive other users of those media to the site. However I am not sure I would actively engage with skypoker as myself in full view of friends/colleagues who may have a negative perception of poker.
On the forum users have the advantage of maintaining anonymity if they wish. To balance this, Skypoker know who we are and can sanction us if we step out of line. On 3rd party media they don't have that control.
Generally though it is up to us, the users, to use the forum or risk losing it.
Jac35 is making a worthy attempt to remind us of that. WP.
Perhaps it might help if we made more positive responses to the bits of the forum we enjoy, just to let the contributors know they are appreciated. We don't need to make negative remarks about the bits we don't enjoy.
Having just read this peeps are clearly going to think i posted on jacs thread as part of the establishment drive to encourage posts. Whereas it was actually because Tikay misunderstood the difference between consumption and investment. #sigh
