If we want to boost the popularity and therefore the userbase, we need to make plenty of content and plenty going on to draw in the crowds, and also have perhaps a broader range of interests promoted as well as make the site more engaging, meaning people will by almost drawn to the site because it's so fun.
I concur.

In fact, I would like to suggest something pretty radical. Perhaps we need to expand the forum's focus beyond Oddworld. I think that we could draw in more members if the forum didn't revolve around a game/media company that, for all intensive purposes, is practically nonexistent as of late.

This is asking a lot, I know, but what about a forum that celebrates ALL forms of innovative gaming, rather than just the games of a single company? Katamari Damacy, Psychonauts, Oddworld, the list goes on. Not only would we attract the (rapidly shrinking) OWI fanbase, but I think that we would soon find ourselves in the company of many, many competent forumers with different interests and tastes.

Couple a broader spectrum of gaming with our strong roots in Off-Topic discussion, and I think we will have an extremely busy, and therefore interesting, forum again.

So, in conclusion, I'm pushing for a total forum makeover. Don't screw OWI; keep it. Just broaden our horizons.
