I must say, I love the BR as it is now.
With that said, I start to feel like we lost some voices, without gaining new ones... And that is absolutely rubbish. Don't get me wrong, a LOT of people have breaks and come back... And I must say, I don't think there has ever been a better BR to come back to than now.
So what is the problem?
The problem is that we NEED more people here. Take me and PVC as an example... I effing "hate" (read that right everyone) him. With that said, over the years, I have come to understand him, respect him, and we have also blunted of each others sharper sides. Same would go with Rhyf, Frags or a ****load of others.
By now, I honestly think I could take PVC's (or whatever churchboy's) stance in a debate defending christian beliefs against stupid, or brilliant, atheists.
I still think USA = Evil. But with that said I would give MajorRobertDump my couch and free access to my liquor.
I think we need fresh meat.
Thus i propose 2 things.
1. Send some PMs to the old timers, primarily the ones you hated. Most will check in at times, might urge them to visit again.
2. Recruit. If you have an interesting political discussion with someone, point them here.
This forum is... Strange...
I think it is pure happenstance that it came to be as good as it is, but if you think about it, how many political boards do you know of that are better? The only criteria is that you had some interest in a TW game, basically. That is, for me, however a good a measure as any of thinking individuals. Sure we lack girls, sure we lack a lot of the population.
But what we got was a member base with an IQ above average, able to discuss things in a nice environment.
So don't market it as a TW board, market it as a political Subforum that has survived for what? A decade, in a ever more turmoild internet. With some fantastic characters to boot :D
