Hmm very noble and good of you Bulbasaur4 to post this. I've never really been a rpger been in a few and I know I've signed up to a few. I think there just aren't enough people on the boards in general and I can't speak for others but I have other things to do and I just can't seem to get motivated to post in rpgs that I sign up to. In fact I can't be that motivated to post anywhere at the boards. I would like to post, its just everything is the same and there just isn't anyone new. Things aren't what they use to be.
I'm not sure about rpg politics and the like. But I really can't see what you mods can do to make things better. The fact is the whole of tpm is small now, we don't get new members and thus we just have to live with the fact that we're gonna die eventually. We're more lucky than some. One only has to look at UPN these days to see how sad a forum can really get.
I wish you and fellow rpgers luck in making this particular forum better.
