Are things slower around here?

[Vipershark]

Now I hear Vipershark also saying "I got plans, it's gonna really liven up the community" - if it doesn't involve some sort of outward changes to the site as well as the forums, I'm not so sure how well that will hold. :/

If my plans go as.... planned, I'm hoping that the forum will more or less be able to create that user draw by itself, hopefully through a lot of word-of-mouth.
...Though once things are in motion, a Twitter/Facebook "hey guys come look at this" blast to all of the tSR/VGR followers (aka potential forum members) would really help things a lot.
On top of that I have some ideas about small changes to how the forum works in relation to the things that I want to do that will... well, not /force/ people to sign up, but rather heavily encourage it.
Though that's a bridge to cross when we get to that point.

Quarterly Secret Santa event?
Spring Santa/Sweaty Santa/Spooky Santa/Secret Santa?

As things currently are I still don't feel like making MORE events is a good idea. Every event follows more or less the same trend: a lot of people sign up, only some actually do anything.
That being said, forcing people to make art for other members definitely isn't the way to go. People are going to make art for their friends whether we tell them to make it for others or not.
