The forum is dying

[PixelDubs]

I feel like th eforum is slowly dying, when I joined this forum in 2020 it was very active and lively, now of course that was during a global event, we were stuck indoors, however I've noticed no new members stay, and those who do alot of them use AI to generate their posts which makes the forum even more dead, I barely visit anymore, I think we need some methods to make the forum active.

I am thinking for activity rewards host exclusive giveaways for those who post alot, like for example 50 posts in one month and you can earn a diamonds code, however it has to be high quality posts not AI generated slop.
I am also thinking a complete ban on AI generated posts, ofc as AI gets better it will be harder to spot but it is still atp fairly obvious.

Introduce rewards for genuine engagement, ban obvious AI spam, and create fresh community events to revive activity.

We do have a social media event running at the moment: you can find the links on Facebook and Instagram.

By high quality, do you mean actually high quality, or just not AI?

This is very much the case in roleplay as well. It just froze for some reason. Rewarding the number of posts however, I think, might not work as intended, as the only threads that would be filled would be the Counting thread or, with relatively empty posts, the Chatbox.

Forums are always much better, also on Discord, while the TheoTown server is quite good, some other official game servers I've been in are terrible.
Once I was in an official Discord game server for an FPS shooter and the mods just let people spam slurs and posts "memes" (literally just racism and unfunny jokes about real world tragedies) and they would then essentially jump your just virtually because you dislike slurs and racism, that's the issue with Discord.
Dark humour is fine and you don't always have to be mature, however many servers on there just devolve into a cesspit of just spamming unfunny memes or spamming slurs, no real conversation.

Also discord is just turning into corporate slop, with the additions of orbs and literally every customisation feature requiring Nitro subscription, also half the voice chats on there just consist of people spamming sounds with either slurs or 67, or sounds so loud it genuinely makes my ears ring.

Hey if you hear someone spamming sounds or slurs on Discord, please let one of the mods know. We try to make the Discord as much of a space space for everyone and would be more than happy to take action against everyone who disrupts the peace in such way.

I joined this leaf server for plugins, but it's just reposts of plugins, and the creator just says @everyone everytime, and it's for some roleplay BS, overloading my notifications. Not to mention, the creator uses an adfly like site for the free download like it's 2012
