I see much request and questions, by our members that they want our forum to be active. the whole problem is that the community that is already here isnt really helpfull or friendly, for example, when some one thats barely uses this forum makes an botting project and makes 2 or 3 posts in a row, he gets flammed like hell!
so what we can do is make this forum more actractive, childproof, and helpfull.
Perhaps a new layout and some contest could help this forum. please fill in the poll and post your opinium.

Well IMO theres always been a "slow" community on here. As you can also see, I always see familiar faces around here. Weve had the same community for years, a couple have left, but theres been a lot of people that has come. I just find that the fault is in ourselves, since we dont post that much (Ive noticed that within myself) lately.
Maybe we should be the ones that must start the change?
I'd say some contests from Blackd himself, paying gold in the world the winner is or something like that
And also a new layout... But you wouldn't be forced to use, just choose what you like the most and use it...
old mate ;)
I like it to, I just feel that the talking topics of this forum are simply dead, more anatractive.
I think contest would be a great iniciative.
I mean who dont like to win something and it brings friendship to the random talks, a live chat would be a suggestion to :)
CONTEST!!! lol We're all so helpful and nice usually... sometimes.... and less flaming would be nice but meh.
Like the choose your layout idea tho.
My proposals
The Site should always be fast loading
Make your website easy to navigate
Use suitable colors/skins
Don't overuse Pop-ups
Remember your purpose
Have an “Advertise with Us” Banner on your site. This is the single most important issue. It should click to an Advertising information page and have an easy way to contact you for more information and rates. Key points: Make it a graphical image or a tab. Keep it above the fold.
Show your site stats.You need to show at least the basics for site statical information: Monthly unique visitors and total number of impressions are the 2 key ones. Other less important can be Google PR & Alexa rank.
User demographic information. Know your audience. The bare minimum is Male/Female % and average age of your readers. Other potentially useful information includes geographic, HHI, single/married, number of kids. etc. How do you get this info? You can do site polls, survey’s, or get more detailed stats from ComScore or Quantcast.com
Don’t use Google AdSense on your site. OK, this could be the most painful one for most people especially if you are generating a few hundred bucks a month from it already. But Google ad sense devalues your site and makes it look unprofessional. You have to ask yourself, “Do I want some real revenue from my site or Google’s table scraps.”
Keep your blog professional.
Ill try to contact blackd and let him see the suggestions
