So I've been browsing the forums, believe it or not, and I've been checking the dates on the "last time posted" most are from 4 to 5 days ago. I'm just kind of curious what everyone is up to, and why noone seems to be bringing anything new to the discussion boards.

I've tried a few times with little links of sites but even then barely any responses. Is it just me or does it seem like noone wants to post, but wants to read something new?

Let's start making an honest effort at bringing atleast one new topic from each member atleast once or twice a week. I'm not saying spam the forums up with useless crap like, "hi i'm bob and ate vegetables last night." But links to interesting sites/videos/images. If there's already a topic for something of these natures post in it. So what if the topic hasn't been posted in for several days? Bring something new, spark some conversation from it.

Let's get Ragnarok HQ active again!

I agree, the image of an active forum seems to be fleeting >_<

I will admit that I'm not as active in the forums as I used to be... but I still check actively. I'm sure the other folks are like that too.

As far as the other forums go... not really sure since the only other forum I'm registered to is RagnaInfo. I think ROEmpire is still fairly active as well.

I appreciate you all sticking with me, loyalists. But I think it's a combination of factors. I'm not going to go into all the what-ifs, but the site has had more than a series of setbacks between hosting, fansite standings, and e-drama.

Plus whether or not you guys agree with me, RO1 is not as popular as it used to be - more or less. It's because it's spread to over 37 countries, most of which are controlled independantly by 3rd parties (franchised). So International RO really should be called "eRO or "usRO" by now. Gravity's intention was to use eRO->iRO and then use it as an anchor to gain interest so when it became localized, people would buy it.

So when people come by RagnarokHQ, they're going to look at it in one of two ways. English RO site, or a general RO site. People like getting involved on a more local region with people who play (that's like us posting in the Korean BBS).

I remember when our forums were bustling with a variety of races and ethnicities, it was quite neat. A lot of people have moved on, and for the countries where RO is still fresh (only a couple years old) - of course those are the people are playing, and probably less of the people who ended up losing interest in it long ago...

Remove the swearing-is-allowed rumor and talk of nude images in the gallery, implement banning and then it'll be active again

I've been busy with school and real life and still ro. The site will get more active if we advertise, I mean even on the main site there's the "top 3 sites" i doubt people would go check out the other sites (like the hq) if there's the top 3. We just need a better database is all, to attract people, ro is updating a lot lately (lightzenburg was just announced) and people want an up-to-date easy to use site. There arnt many out there like that, we can still become one of the better sites we just need to fix up the site.
