The problem is the place itself I think. That, and the fact that with SMT being mainstream nowadays, you don't have to be at a place like this to talk about it. If you really want posters here, you need people to hate each other. I don't know if you were here for the Michael/Evil Rye dream team but things weren't boring around here with them around. There are probably other people I forgot. Oh wait, yeah, Heat. Heat was great because he basically hated everything and would hate you for liking it. There are probably more people I'm forgetting. Aside from a few being banned because they really were fucktards (and one ban for a naked DDS character,) most of them probably got banned because they were mean and how dare people be mean on the internet you're making Brand frown and now she has to moderate D:
Ok, I'm probably wrong saying we need people to hate each other to get activity. This place is not unique. You want to talk about SMT? Atlus' forum probably works, gamefaqs works in theory, and so does talking about it on some other forum you go to with at least one other person knowing what the hell you're on about. Why cpme here to talk about it? This place serves no purpose that isn't filled by 5 other places. Getting people to argue gives people a reason to go some place. They want to prove the other person wrong, and they want to see the newest post by whoever it is their dispute is with. I'm talking a while to get my point across so let me just lay it out here: This place offers nothing special, no one cares. As completely stupid as it sounds, arguments and full on spite is the easiest way to get people to post because it's giving them a reason to. You want more people here? Give them a reason to be.
Ok, that post, if it's even coherent, has been written at a time where I'm tired so if it doesn't make sense sorry.
