I have hard time comprehending why board is so inactive. It was only couple years ago really busy. I have seen this on other boards. I suppose with all social networking sites less busy here. I do not really know what features to add.

Hey Allen,

Thanks for your thoughts. You're absolutely right that the board was a lot more active in the past. We've cleaned things up now, as you can see, and made it easier for people to register. Most importantly, we've recently appointed Lee Newman as Forum Leader. In that position, Lee will be in charge of driving more traffic to the forum and jumpstarting topical discussions!

this is so true!

there has been an exodus happening and since there is another forum/facebook (of a belgium convention) I run I can see that very clearly!
Less activity on the forum but the more on facebook!

I will be trying really hard to turn that around. You can help, post links to your favorite threads on Facebook and twitter. Tell your friends, ask them to stop by... anything you do will be greatly appreciated and the reward will be a more active and fun forum.

I will be focusing on more community type threads for the time being as seen in the Graphic Novel Discussion Thread:

My next thread sometime today will be a comic of the week thread for those people that read weeklies still...

Any ideas you have are more than welcome!

Good feature makes forum and community more strong. So in my points of view there should be some features like is someone is posting their view in forum a reply should be.
