If no one volunteers, I could start tracking scores for a few of the games. Probably better to wait until there are more opinions on this.

*Possible removal on the time limitations on threads, or more leniency for posting over the recommended date for a "dead" thread (As half of the threads last posted on exceeds the one month inactivity rule). *Conceive more activities that require unity within the forum, more contests, and possible collaborated projects. *Inspire more user activity, think of attractive alternatives to keep the membership's conversations and activity within the facility of the forum. Those are just three possible resolutions that could attract newcomers, but the primary issue is within the confines of our own user registration, we have exceedingly few people active, regardless of our attractive conceptions, which completely demoralizes potential membership as I wouldn't want to register into a forum I perceived as about as living as a graveyard, with the most recent post on an extreme majority of threads vastly exceeding the time restrictions. The most attractive threads are seemingly ones that require an amount of cooperation to continue, the Touhou Riddle thread possessed massive activity on its debut, which it required the cooperation of the posters to continue the session, which is deducible to Role-Playing threads, additionally. The time limitations have been removed. The necroposting rules have been removed as of 2/4/15. An announcement will be made shortly. Activities that requite the unity of the forum is what I would believe, the thing we're doing the best right now. Currently there are a total of 5 events for Eientei members to join, which can be found on the home page under "ongoing events". Inspiration of more activity through "attractive" alternatives, is precisely what we're looking for, so that's not really a suggestion for a course of action. Yeah, the fact that the boards for the Touhou games, the main trigger for a lot of people, have been rather barren is off-putting. Thanks for your suggestions, Scarlet. You're gonna be quite a help in us fixing this situation. ^^ I can offer an additional, minor solution. Attempt to make changes to the interface of the forum, to show that activity and time were put into the creation of the forum, and attempt to update that interface regularly, as this attracts people to the effort and conveys a thought of activity, which is our main issue here. When a forum or site's appearance constantly changes, it makes it seem like there is a great amount of activity, at least from a psychological point of view. Let's wait and see what others think of this current idea. I'm gonna head back to bed for now, so I'll talk more with you later. I see no detriments to this idea. I'll approve of it. Although other than that, i'm unsure of what you mean to change" the forum interface. I will be posting more detailed announcements of forum changes in the future. I hope that will help from a psychological point of view, with the knowledge that the forum is being updated. Though, also I'm concerned about things like most of our threads going inactive quickly. Just a gut feeling, but after the active members have given out their opinions, a thread doesn't generate much further talks. Perhaps further discussions about others' opinions would help a little, what do you guys think? O: This is precisely why the Skype group is a problem. Its good for idea production, but quite bad for continued thread activity. Though further discussion of other's opinion is precisely what a thread is *for*, of course it would generate activity, so that was a meaningless question. The issue is *how* to get people to discuss in the first place. |

I hope that settles some of the issues, so I hope we can see some increased activity with the implementation of polls and contests.

It's kinda bit tough to contests now though because schools for most of us. I also hope when summer holiday comes we will be able to throw some big activities again, something similar to the Writing Competition for example. |

Personally, I feel a way to increase activity, is via the "other games" section of the board. That way we can also have people from other fanbases that may have partially moved away from touhou (but is still willing to talk about it) to join. Most of all, it will also increase traffic, which is a good thing in terms of publicity.
Events are not the be all and end all of activity generation.

Honestly, its not an issue of making competitions, than it is to discuss them and for people to join them.
There is currently these events:
---> Touhou Draft Competition (in progress)
---> 1st Eientei Hisoutensoku Tournament (in progress)
---> Real Illusion Night Terror Incident Touhou themed Roleplay- New participants welcome
---> Dungeons and Dragons Wedding Day Raphosdy
---> FE 8 draft
---> Lunatic Touhou competition
That is a *lot* of events. I can safely assume, event quantity is not an issue.

Just as a side note, I have been doing a survey on people's free time to consider when to do some big contests and the likes, if you can let me know that, it would be great : ) |

The issue is *how* to get people to discuss in the first place. I have no major disagreements. The implementation of a communications group such as Skype, with its superior communications capabilities, is exactly the reason why the forum has such a horrendous decrease in activity, which, as aforementioned, demoralizes the guest audience into interpreting the forum as entirely inactive. The aesthetic transitions I mentioned were merely as previously stated, aesthetic, occasionally changing the backgrounds and visible icons to accommodate the evolution of the forums. Regardless of my "attractive suggestions", I'm completely invested into conceiving the most viable solution I can create. I hope all aforementioned discrepancies have been resolved. |

eh for me there just isn't enough activity in the games section and since I could care less about the characters in touhou there isn't much for me to do. Definitely wouldn't mind starting a high score table. Would give me an incentive to play touhou.

I think 1 month is definitely too short especially for a still new forum with not as many active users. Even if the thread is a few months old, it's kind of off putting to make a new one when the old one is still on the 1st/2nd page An idea I did throw in the skype chat the other day was the possibility of starting up high score threads. I'm just not sure how well that would bring people here, though. This I'd like to see, even if it doesn't bring new members a lot of people actively work on scores so it would increase activity and I just like watching people make progress  I'd be willing to run a few score threads too |

A highscore thread will be good, although my scores on Touhou games are not very high xD.
I'd like more discussion about characters on the games threads. Maybe I could make something related to characters? I'd just like to see more activity...

I honestly think activity will pick up on its own in a few months, after summer starts/exams are over.
But encouraging more activity now is probably still a good idea. Lore discussion is an idea, as well as maybe some games (but smart games, not stupid generic forum shit)

A lore discussion is a exceptional idea, I'd also suggest a questions and discussions thread that answers any questions pertaining to the history and metaphysical aspects of Gensokyo, akin to MoTK's variation, which consequently might attract some attention.

You mean...  This? If so, I'm all up for it, I may even create it if needed. ... Just keep in mind, that type of thread is just intended for short questions about pretty much anything, and discussions should be kept to a minimum in there. That's pretty much it. |
