I also suggested a change in moderating style and end to hyper moderating of every aspect of a patron's participation (nannying). As ever the administration ignored this. Now somewhat conversely, we see a massive staff recruitment drive - so instead of easing off on moderation, the members here now have even more mods on their cases. All this on a forum that is struggling to get decent levels of participation - just who are these people going to be moderating exactly? Simply throwing more staff at this won't solve the problems here at the .org - looking at why so many staff and members have left recently might be a better use of time...
    All right. If you look things from the bright side, people still come to ask about MTW and STW. We are still the leaders there. The bad news is that these games are getting outdated i.e. we need to focus on something else. Another narrow set of games that fit the membership taste could be OK. I wonder... aren't there a good set of medieval strategies to attract members? Just an idea.
