Ai'ght, boys! We gotta add some life in this random section!
No one makes a topic, unless it's about Star Wars (or perhaps the avatars nowadays)! This board is called Random Board for a reason. Make life-ish topics! I mean, if you make a topic called 'So I watched _____ today", you're NOT going to the fire as a witch!
This is something the last board lacked as well. If everyone makes topics just about the game, then there's a point where it gets boring, and we GO off-topic, like what happened in NEoW!
Spam is something that in my opinion, doesn't exist. If we're talking about something in the random section, and we change subjects, then it is NOT spam. To me, the only thing that can be called spamming is necromancing topics with senseless posts.
To reinforce my point, I will take up Skysong's suggestion regarding the money. Everyone starts out with $100 (my idea), and we'll only gain money from RPG posts. That reinforces the reason for which we have this board, and the people will stop with this "OMG j00 sp@mm@!!1!1!", and we can start letting our posting senses loose.
If you got a new game, POST. If you liked a movie, then POST. If we all do that, the forum will be way more active...and it will grow more and more in it gradually. I go to a forum where there's like 2 topics a day at the Misc Section, and guess what! It's SO more active than ours (same quantity of members).
At the end, people, I request you to accept this lil' suggestion of mine. I DO have the onlne experience needed to know it will work for the best! When I see that Roboto is the only person that I can talk to off-topic in a regular basis, and that I won't go offline after I post in the...three...active topics of the entire forum (NEoW was like that as well, so starting up is no excuse), I will see tthat the Forum is more active as well. No doubts.
