We should close all the threads! Wait, hear me out...

What if, just for funsies, we turned off forum posting for a weekend? Just one weekend, as an experiment! No more posts after 5pm on SSG time Friday, posting resumes at 9am Mon. You know, just to see if in game numbers change.

This might work as a little break from the forums no matter how you personally "forum".

The read every post people (like me!) wouldn't have to read anything. Might play more. (or sleep)
The post a lot people would have time to reflect and perhaps formulate improved passionate posts!

Personally, I am just curious if the in game numbers would surge! (or not)

Wurst idea evar! This is where I come to flower-sniff when not in game (funny enough... not much in here smell like flowers..)

What if you just didnt log in from 5pm Friday until 9am Monday and pretended that the forum was down. Then those who enjoy the 2 day window of being able to post whatever they want, can.

What would staff do if there are no threads to delete or lock?

Is like asking for a Bar not to open or sell booze during happy hour!

That would give the temporarily banned forum pvp'ers an unfair advantage over the ones who are not banned.

 

[Blunt Hackett]

Aren't the forums the real endgame though? Are you trying to give people withdrawal?

...unless Hobbit-side is still open for business. I'd finally get back over there for some more 3-Word Trivia.

What if there is only one post allowed for the weekend and everything else has to be a laughing reaction to it.

You do understand that less than 10% of the game's population visits the forums, right?

Well That would mean the Devs wouldnt know what to Put in the next update, or they wouldnt know what to Nerf Next!
