"Dead" Forums.
#1
So, I was meaning to make this thread a day or two ago but didn't have the time... As the title suggests, this is about some of our now deceased forums, getting maybe one post a month if they're lucky, or haven't had posts for months at all. For these reasons I assume they're either overlooked or their use has been depleted. A few examples of such forums:

The Bazaar - I think it's overlooked because Personals is a much broader forum and can have the same things The Bazaar has in it at the same time.
Incursions - Not exactly requiring much addressing, the Incursions event chain is long over and the forum is just a corpse.

Are there any ulterior motives for these forums remaining, or just remaining for the sake of it? At any rate, these are more questions than a call to action or anything.

-Maul.




Move him into the sun—
Gently its touch awoke him once,
At home, whispering of fields half-sown.
Always it woke him, even in France,
Until this morning and this snow.
If anything might rouse him now
The kind old sun will know.

Think how it wakes the seeds,—
Woke, once, the clays of a cold star.
Are limbs, so dear-achieved, are sides,
Full-nerved—still warm—too hard to stir?
Was it for this the clay grew tall?
—O what made fatuous sunbeams toil
To break earth’s sleep at all?

It bothers me greatly that the incursions and Arathi RP remains an unfinished war settled ICly, I'm trying to ressurect the war, along with a few others, now that the ressurection policy has changed, I think people will be more leniant (spelling) on character deaths.

I'm pretty sure the War was ended. The Sin'Sholai pulled back all their forces.

Well the Horde and Alliance still have a resource battle, you know anywhere they "share" they are going to fight for, it's been like that in a lot of places.

That's really up to you guys, the players. They are there, but the reason behind 'em being deceased has to do with noone posting in them.


Now, the Bazaar is different, in the fact that it's for shops. Personals are intended to find RPer's to follow an idea you have. Again, the lack of use for that forum, along with incursions is due to the playerbase.


Hell, if I was doing Hordeside/Allianceside RP, I'd write a lot of incursions just to make sure that people were aware I was -advancing- things.

Ah, I get your point, Rensin. The thing is, it seems people are using Personals for what should be in The Bazaar, which is probably the reason it has died down in the first place. Regardless, thanks for clarifying and I'll be sure to try to maybe increase the activity in both!
