I understand that the current state of your forum may be disheartening and it's important to address this issue. It's not uncommon for online communities to go through periods of change, and sometimes the dynamics can shift in ways that impact the positive atmosphere that was once prevalent. Rebuilding a community takes time and effort, but with genuine empathy, effective communication, and a commitment to the values that made the forum special, it's possible to revitalize and regain the positive spirit that once characterized it.
We are actively working on recruitment for leaders to help support the community but it usually takes persons who are willing to dedicate the time and effort in various roles to help get communities up and running. We are hoping that after the site changes and forum restructurings are completed, the site will be much easier to use and navigate for the community.
If there are any suggestions on things you would like to see in the community, please feel free to reply back here or message me and we can discuss it further.
