Alright, so for those of you who don't know, I've started to require a minimum post count for users I accept into the Pawn Assistants. You may wonder why I'm doing this, and the answer is to promote forum growth. The more you post on the forum, and the more threads you make, the more likely someone will be to respond. By the end of May, hopefully all of the Pawn Assistants will have at least 300 posts (not outrageous considering most of them already have 500 or so.)

My challenge to you is this, if you truly enjoy this community, and more specifically this forum, then try setting a goal for yourself as far as posting goes. I'd challenge everyone on the forums to get at least 100 posts by the end of May. And, for those of you who already have met that goal, try getting in 3 or so posts a day. There's not much of an incentive that I can offer you, other than knowing you're contributing to this community, and making the forums more enjoyable for everyone.

Now, this isn't an excuse to spam, and spamming is not going to be tolerated, as always, this is simply an attempt to make the forums a bit more active.

Once you really get into it, you'll find that it's pretty easy to find 3 or 4 threads that you are pretty interested in.

Thanks for reading, and making this community what it is.

I also suggest we start more debates in General Discussion and punish those who turn any sensitive issue into a flame fest.

Our Forums are not as big as some others, or aren't the smallest.

But Blank should set up a rule to every user who registers has to post at least 3 posts before playing, just to make the Forums look better and bigger.

Again, people will lose interest, more spam, people would get pissed, Hell, i would.

plus, i don't see the admins active at all, i mean i can understand blank, but all the others are NEVER ON! i think blank should promote some of the mods to admins and demote the inactive admins/mods to mods/users.

Poster of the year isnt even an official award, go post in xgen forums where people spam all day long.

Good thing for me i have like 4 more posts till 300 than i can try to be a pawn assistant.

If you want the game+ this forum to be promoted, setting promoters (advertisers) will be much more helpful.

That's my suggestions...

Of course, it is always interesting posting. I have more than 30 posts per day and more than 500 in total. My goal is towards 10,000. It shouldn't be too hard, I am always active so it should be quick, maybe a year.

Not being a Pawn Assistant shouldn't bother you. A little less than half the Moderators have less than 1 post per day. TF, has 4 posts. Just enjoy the game and post regularly. I am sure you will reach your goals in that way. ;)

I'd be pissed if i had to post 3 times on the forums before playing a game most people wouldn't bother playing prob.
