How do we get more activity here?

I was wondering if any of you (the handful of you!) have any suggestions on how to increase activity here? Maybe if you know about some people that would be good here, from your own circle, or other messageboards, that you could recommend?
I did spend some time awhile back, inviting people via mail or Facebook, but alas most of them have decided not to partake (for what reason, I do not know, and I’d rather not speculate). I also don’t want to post more ‘plugs’ on other messageboards than I already have. Maybe if someone other than me talked about it, it would be better.
Any tips appreciated!
We talked about it, I think it is really a time issue. Many are on FSM or jwfan and who is active there and possibly even on social media most likely has no time or motivation left to do so on yet another forum. I know I don’t therefore I am lurker on the others only 😉 I admire that Nick is able to write such elaborate posts ofen!
Yes, we talked about it privately, but I wanted to open it up here. I might think and ponder reasons myself, but there can be all kinds of reasons for why they’ve refused.
I know guys like Tim Partridge find a message board like this a relic from the past in 2026.
I have no idea how to increase activity here, I must admit.
For those of you who participated in the Zoom chats during covid, do you know how to get hold of Thomas – you know, the Irish guy? I’d really like to invite him here, but I’ve not been able to find his contact information.

He has a lot of time on his hands by ignoring me.

Oh, he has to do that manually here as we don’t have an ignore functions here 😉
Rather glad that we don’t have huge activity given that the last few days the server was annoyingly slow for me at least…
Yes, that’s him. I tried to send him a PM on FSM, but he has not responded. In fact, I don’t think he has logged in since the board rebooted. I don’t know his last name, so hard to look him up on other social media as well.
I want to apologize for the excessive posting I’m doing on this forum, especially during the weekends. It’s a bit like Zooba is currently doing on FSM, and it irritates me a bit. So I can only imagine what I do irritates you as well. But if I don’t, the board dies in a week.
Recommendations of people to invite aren’t really flooding in at the moment, but again — would be thankful for any tips regarding people on JWFAN, FSM, Maintitles or other forums that you could picture here.
I don’t know. I’m here today, for a few moments. Maybe discussion per se is dying out across the planet.
I am not convinced that the key to more activity in the forum is a higher number of registered users.
I would rather vote for proposals for a more responsive and interactive conversation and discussion culture.Thor is really my role model here like he is proposing topics and responding to comments. In the end that is what makes the quality of an online community. Of course it is a matter of time on our hands.
I mentioned, I miss the like Button here. But maybe this is also a chance of developing a better art of conversation.
Just a thought. Maybe something we can discuss a little at the upcoming ZOOM-session.
I agree. We don’t need a LOT more people. I think 10 more active people would be enough, really. Just enough that we can wake up every morning and find a handful of new replies, to get that little dose of film score disussion every day, inbetween other duties. That’s it. But finding those 10 has proven more difficult than I anticipated (I mean, there are 50 registerered users here, but only a handful of them are active).
Of course I realize it’s different for most of you, who are also active on other boards. You get your dose elsewhere.
