Default Your thoughts

In recent weeks traffic at TNT has slowed, and we'd really appreciate your feedback on where we might go from here. Please let us know your thoughts below.

"The future" thread landed a couple of practical /technical suggestions but, here, we are really interested in users' experience i.e. what people want out of a political / debate forum such as TNT.

For example, I think we might be missing a bit more opposing views i.e. the people here being in rough agreement on much makes for a rather too consensual tone.

Do you agree? And what else? We'd really like your take!

No wonder this place has been quiet lately - you lot have been posting elsewhere.

It took me far too long to realise that was a joke xD

I am afraid, it wasn't. The site has been quite slow in recent weeks. Some of our regulars (such as Zan de Man) have walked away, and they haven't been replaced by new posters. Thus, the number of regulars has been shrinking. This is what the administrators of the site are worrying about.

By way of 'passively advertising' I'm going to include a hyperlink to TNT in my Sig on some popular Sites I'm on and post plenty in their srs discussion forums and hope to get some traffic (as posting topic about TNT would just get me a temp ban >,>) also this may attract some trolls, but idt that'd be too much of a problem.

Any suggestions (about 5ish words long) for the text to be used for the link?

Maybe if you changed the colour scheme, ( I mean orange and black. What nightmare did that idea come from?) Dropped their elitist attitude, stop being rude to people who are bad spellers, be more inclusive and less exclusive by that I mean drop the clique mentallity and actually realise other people besides your exclusive group could have valid opnions and stop being such intellecual snobs.

You might get a bit more traffic the actual lack of activity in the play pen says a lot on how you do not have a thriving diverse community.
