Lack of new people is killing the backroom and the entire forum

[Motep]

I have a couple of suggestions. Fix the search so it works, which it hasn't done since the upgrade to vBulletin 4.x (this is a common problem with vB 4.x forums). And enable search for the Backroom. Search was disabled for the Backroom because of lack of resources. With fewer users, it's not such a problem. There are some real gems in the Backroom archives that are lost because it can't be searched.

yeah, the search is pretty awful. But I dont think it is enough to keep anyone from staying here.
