Hello there,
Now, I love the new forums, they are worlds better than the previous setup. However, they are still suffering from a huge issue- There's nobody here. Now, this is obviously not true, as you have members such as myself, others such as the 'Old Guard' as I call them (Zill,Lord Dick, Skyraider etc.) and newer players. However, I took a look at how many members we actually have, and to date we have 1961 members. There is clearly no way in which a majority of players are even looking at, let alone contributing, to the forums. Take a look at the foreign forums, they're strangled for posts. This shouldn't be the case with the steady supply of Russians coming our way, even if their forum is markedly bigger than the other-lingual forums. While I don't want to make this a 'community-attitude' themed post, I think we need to advertise the forums fully.
Now, I've seen the CA's do this, But I doubt the effectiveness of simply typing a link into chat- I was ideally thinking of a Pop-up when you first load the game and a dedicated button on the main screen that could, through the Steam overlay, send you to the forums. basically, what I'm saying is add a big button or a huge flashing sign someplace. We could use a few more voices around here.
Cheers for reading,
-Waz
