ARE PEOPLE SCARED TO POST IN THE FORUMS, OR WHAT?

As I am probably certifiably addicted to RMN, I've noticed that activity has nosedived since RMN3 went live. :(

That's no good.

Are people afraid of posting on the site, or what? Even Moronic seems quiet. New blogs used to get at least a couple of comments. The submission queue has been kinda empty. Is this just a coincidence with a summer slowdown? What gives?

(Yes, I am posting this to try to generate some discussion on increasing activity. Sorry for stealin' yer thunder, Feld IV)
Approximately 24% of the decrease in activity can be linked back to the fact that there is no longer a Who's Online. People now feel that they can lurk without repercussions.
The site in general doesn't seem as active as it was, and it should be! The same commentless blogs and games have been slowly moving about since RMN3s launch.
also it is rather difficult to see new posts, ergo new things to discuss / reply to. it'd be great if you could see them from the forum front page (like of old)
preeetty much.
The new forums feel like the English bulldog version of ezboards, PMs, and AJAX


(hint: English bulldogs are walking vet bills)

Submissions only seem to half-work. I submitted Demon's Gate but I can't submit screenshots for it becuase I can't get to the gamepage to submit stuff since it 404's

*reedit*
Or it took a second or something for it to come up for I don't know and I can get to it now so I don't care

The new forums lack a crapload of functionality...

New site + old forums > new site + new forums > old site + old forums...
Anything else you would like to keep saying that everyone has already heard? Seriously, I get it. How many times do you want me to say "I am working on it"?

And not even just that, don't insult this site by thinking there is some separation between site and forums. It is all the same site. Get over it.

One more time, if you will.

Seriously, let's see you guys work as a web developer* and come home and work on a website all day.

*I think htat's what WIP is, anyway.

Guys, shut up and stay even remotely on topic.
I'LL STAY ON YOUR TOPIC PUNK

I think maybe predictable summer slowdown is combining with the general foreboding about a new and scary site within days of its release in a fairly raw form. it'll pick up!
I *immediately* regret this decision.
