A long time ago, we had a bunch of members, but there was a debacle of sorts amongst the staff and the members; that kinda left the forum as a shell of its former self. Then, nothing was really happening and members stopped coming.

There's still a way to revive things here. Ichigos is still the largest anime sheet music forum around. We just need to drive some traffic to this side of the site, get some core members, and start doing monthly events again.

I think that's kind of the point. People are here but not really active. Even I forget about this place then out of nowhere I think whats going on with ichigos. And I used to be on here daily.

As long as people are responding to threads/post i guess its not dead

it's 'some' activity, I guess. However I think more would be preferred. Right now, there's an average of 0.5 posts per day.

I haven't been around for ages. I vaguely remember mild drama but didn't know it went on to half kill the place! Shame :(

I didn't like the idea of this place being dead. Granted I wasn't on much myself for a while.

We can probably get more ppl to join

Well is the problem people joining or getting people more active or both?

CHmSID

I'd say getting people more active, because there are many guests visiting this forum already.

I left midway through the revisioning of the forums. I wasn't feeling good vibrations from my recommendations and my vision wasn't on the same page as everyone else. So I left the staff (drama can be seen throughout the forum).


Also, randomness was what made the general sections thrive. I second that proposal.

Also, the moderation queue isn't helping with creating new threads. (I. E. Staff needs to be more active)

I think it is time to add new young staff (and to refresh the forum design and structure to something more appealing and updated). I believe the rest of the staff got caught with their adult lives that they are not able to pay much attention here (or this place slipped their mind). All of them have not been active since last year:

PorscheGTIII - Last Activity: August 7th, 2013
Taemond - Last Activity: March 24th, 2013
Neko Koneko - Last Activity: April 16th, 2013
Gand - Last Activity: November 15th, 2013

Wow thats quite interesting regarding the mods. Also whats the moderation queue? Threads need approval now before it can be created now?

Wouldn't this create an even bigger bottleneck in a forum which needs more threads and posts?

There was a huge spam attack in the past years. The administrator had to change a few settings for the spam to not appear to everyone. Some threads need to be approved before they can be visible to others in the forum.

You can view an old thread about this problem here:

Yes, it would.

But that was 2 years ago why still have a need for approving new threads?
