Even a forum chock full of discussion worthy content is worthless without proper administration and attractiveness. Neither of which we have.

This would be why it's impossible for a forum created on Proboards to ever become anything more than a few hundred members.

The front page is important; it still has a Google PageRank of 5 (In comparison GAF has 6, PS3forums: 5, System Wars: 3). This means there are quite a few pages that still links to our front page. When it's broken, who would bother to check the forums?

I did a check on our backwards links, quite a few of these are our old forum signature links (found on Extras). They don't autoupdate anymore, and frankly look ridiculous now.

All these small, broken things will detract newcomers, and also make it a bit embarrassing for us to refer people here. I for one would never use those broken forum signatures anywhere. And they lead to a page where the Excite Truck review is ranked "HOT", and the Joomla scripts don't integrate well with the content in the forums.

This needs to be fixed, or this site WILL dwindle. I am not too worried about the fact that some of our regulars are quitting/moving elsewhere, that's just normal, everywhere. What worries me is that these should be replaced by newcomers, as would happen in any healthy community. This isn't happening in the degree it could. I blame the mess on the front page/bad scripts AND lack of owner care/attention.

The bad frontpage is the fault of lacking care from the owners.

It all goes full circle, if the owners don't fix, we slowly, but very surely die.

Console Count: NO.

!8ball Do I move to Konsole Freakz if NGW dies?
8Ball: If the Prophet wills it.

Prophet:Phoenix. I follow my manbeast whereever he may roam.

But the thing is, we stay here until it's absolutely UNfixable. We still have hope! Don't abandon us yet!
