In my opinion, we are currently at a point, where the forum is suffering from lacking activity.

When I look in the member list, I'm wondering where is Bluebell, Embemxrabbit, Fivergoalkeeper, Foxbrow, Keeralie Starflight, Kornblume or madame-baggins? All members, that have been active some time ago.

But now, the Honeycomb has gotten silent. And I simply think: What can we do to motivate the hlessill to come back to the warren.

One thing, that has been added (and that I would like to see within more user-profiles) is the "Favorite WSD-Media"-selection.

Another thing could be special content, that's reachable through the forum (why not some more Honeycomb-wallpaper :) )

We have an RPG-Section and a Caption Corner. Any ideas, what we could add (and what's WSD-related) to motivate our members?

This should be some kind of brainstorming, what we can do to increase the activity.

First of all sorry not find the right section to post this topic.
Just want to say if you can add a box with the most recent posts on the main page and elsewhere.
Is a box showing the last issues that someone has written something.
So many will know, and so write something on the subject.
Especially new forum members.
I hope I was clear.

We could enable a portal for this board, where we could show a few latest posts from each subsection of the forum (or not all, but some of them). Here is more information about portal from Zetaboards website:

http://docs.zetaboards.com/acp/board/prefs/portal

What do you think about it, Darkling and Hawkbit?


I'm not quite sure, if we really need something like that, since registered users can easily see which section of the board got new posts/topics since their last visit.

I've enabled the portal (and give it a WSD-related name)

You see now a new menu point: Frith's Suncave

Maybe, there's a bit optimization requirement. If you have suggestions, feel free to tell us here :)

At least I see it if necessary. Thanks to this site I can see the last written content:

http://s4.zetaboards.com/Fivers_Honeycomb/search/?c=5
It is very useful. To me I lost much content.
Maybe it would be good to put that link to "Active Topics" in the main menu, for so many to see and write =)
Or something more useful as a box with the latest posts.

And more carrots! :hawkbit2

A link isn't necessary IMO, because when you click on Frith's Suncave, you see the latest posts ;)

Edit. Shouldn't this topic be merged with the Suggestion-Thread? I don't think, we need two topics :hazel

Guys, I have a new suggestion:

I know that this is not related to the lack of activity, but it can help us to keep growing stronger... or not, depending of how you look at it :P

You all know sites like Redwall Abbey and The GoF right? Those sites both have separated sub-forums (hidden to the visitors, but accessible to registered users) in where people can talk about personal issues and real-life issues as well, and I think we can really use a forum like that because, sometimes, I really wanted to ask for advice and the mere fact that a lot of people could read what I had to say was enough to discourage me. So a board like that can really come in handy (especially considering that those boards are also very popular because the famous "ask me" threads).

What do you think, guys? :)

My old partner-forum had something like a... how would you say in english? Agony Column? There, people could discuss about personal problems and worries.

The only issue, I see, is, that this is not only very off-topic, but also very personal.

On the other side: When it's part of Inlé Flayrah, guests won't see it. And it might really help us growing stronger as a community.

Let's see, what the others think.

Oh yeah, I thought of Inlé Flayrah, but my only complaint towards that board is that the threads are very mixed up there. That particular part of the forum seems to englobe a lot of material (and not necessarily the most serious/important)... but now that I think about it, I think that a separated thread there might do the trick. Should I create that instead? :)

Let's see what others think first :)

I don't meant a thread in this forum. I meant a sub-forum within Inlé-Flayrah. We could hide this sub-forum completely from public so just logged-in members could see it.

Oh! Now I get it (guess that I shouldn't come in here without my coffee :D).

That's a nice idea, Darkling :)

I definitely know, who will create this section, when we agree about this :D That will be a good training for you, Claws ;)
