Oh hi guys! Figured I'd pop in for a sec or so because I'm tired of reading this topic yet not contributing. At least now I can register under my actual name because my previous account is still under that robot fad name thing that happened!

First of all, there is no hivemind here. I'm not quite sure why people assume I'm under some sort of Xkeeper Mind Control Serumâ„¢ but I can assure you that isn't the case. If anything, I've been more distant from Jul than ever due to other circumstances (such as Twitter, loads of games to play, working, and more importantly a girlfriend I talk to every night). I'm sure Xkeeper and such could vouch that I haven't been as active as I used to be. Somehow, even in this thread, I got mentioned as if I am Xk's pawn. It is quite agitating to say the least.

Second, in regards to this board operating, I guess it would help if I mention another forum I go to has no new regular members register and is mostly a hub of friends that chat about things. The total post count for this month has been 152 posts so far and that is more than usual. Still is fine for what it is since it isn't advertised at all even though it could be popular as all hell if it wanted.

How does that apply to here? Well, this could be the same thing, really. I'm not sure of the costs and all that though, but that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing if you got a group of people using this for a hang-out point if you could afford it or set up a donation fund to keep it up for however long. If that isn't your cup of tea (perfectly understandable) then you can pull the plug or perhaps think of something worthwhile to bring in new users and an active community. With everything else going on at the same time though that is actually quite difficult to attract people to a forum, what with Twitter and Tumblr and all that other social networking. There is something that COULD potentially help, but what it is and how it can be achieved is up to you guys. Maybe I'll stick around if that be the case so long as I don't get admin responsibilities. Even as an admin on Jul I don't do anything staff worthy... or at least I feel like that.

I also want to bring in the Lillana drama happening here: I think I posted once while she was going through all of this on Jul and that was me saying to seek help. I avoided the issue entirely because I'm not helpful with this stuff at all. I'm really uncomfortable with these issues. However I somehow got mentioned by her in this very thread like I'm hunting her down. I don't do that shit.

I will travel to Nevada, hunt you down
Remember that $50 you owe him while doing this. Might be useful!

Ahem. Back to serious.

Actually I got nothing else to add. I thought there would be more. Oh well! I guess the point is that if you want the board to have a larger community you have to do something to warrant it. If you can't do any of that, then either close the board or perhaps make it focus around being a hangout for friends? That is all I can really think of at this point.
