I think there're too many members unwilling to do things for the benefit of the forum at the moment... we've lost quite a few members who were willing to run games due to various scandals (Mollie) or a seeming loss of interest in the site (Locke/Novo). Obviously there're still plenty of members putting the effort in but I find it a bit of a kick in the teeth when people complain about how dead the forum is and then don't make threads or posts.

It's a chicken and egg argument. They don't make threads or posts because they find the place dead.
This is just a forum. I know a few of us have been here for awhile but I have quite a casual outlook on it. Fair dues to those who put in the effort but I don't think it's a prerequisite to have to 'put in effort' and go starting threads and games all the time in order to feel the place has become a bit of a drag. Myself I'm just a poster really.
On that note this is more aimed at previous more obvious examples than your post but I've seen people in the past do the whole "I set up games, what do you do, buster?" thing and I'm just like "pfffft ........ ?". There is something a bit uppity about that mentality I think. If you're a decent poster then you're pulling your weight already, IMO. Extra curricular stuff is not mandatory.
Me? I think it's graaaand, like. No better or worse than the last few off seasons. If less is going on I use the forum less, which is what is happening now, and have more time to do other things in the day. It all works out either way.
S'all good.
