Well, I wonder what I can do...
I'm the only Praetorian around right now (both others being up to their head in their work) and doing my best to keep the boards active...
But it seems there's no hope.
I'd like to make a "Roll Call", If you are reading this, please stop lurking for a second and post "I'm here" I just wish to see how many of the 40+ members actually read the new messages... Thank you.
I guess there are changes to be done to make the boards more active... We're now more than enough to have daily activity, so what's keeping you all from posting? I'm open to critics/suggestions, this is as much your boards as ours.

I'm here, is there anybody out there (steals line from Pink Floyd's The Wall). When is the online game likely to start - I've heard nothing.  |

Max will be too busy to start the game for another week so, the game should be started sometime in April  I didn't check the mailing list but Max was supposed to send a message about this... Seems he was so busy he even forgot to let you all know *shrugs* |

I'm here too... Nash, I think there's not much you can do to create more activity. Even the game board isn't active... Maybe if more people created 'storytelling' threads such as the excellent " Dead Marshes " (which as been inactive far too long BTW! Isn't it CM's turn?) we could have more activity... I think there's room for sevral threads of this kind. I think there's an issue with the DG community however, there's too few of us and we're damn too busy!  Really hope you don't give up hope in these boards. You made a really good job with them... The only hope to see activity going up is if US members get more involved into the different "projects"... But seems we're either too lazy or too busy  Continue with the grand work... Even if not active on a daily basis the baords are a wonderful place ;D |

4? That would mean only 10% of the registered users are actually active... Thus, to have daily activity (20 active members more or less) would mean having mor ethan 200 registered members. Seems hopeless! |

Well...I'm here, but I don't know if that counts, as I just walked in the door So, this board is in a bit of a lull right now, then? Maybe it will pick up as the re-relelase of DG draws nigh. Anyway, figured this was as good a thread as any to make my presence known. |

Maybe I'm off target, but I have always considered DG to be a fairly adult/mature game setting. Most of us have real life committments. I have a job that can be 60 hours per week (hospital doctor) on a good week. I'm sure most of us are in a similar situation. So hang in there and things will pick up. I suspect that the start of the game may help stir up interest especially if we supposed players post our after action reports on the boards. |

Maybe if I post things, it'll liven up summore...

I'm here, but far to seldom (sorry...).
I would like to contribute more, but my studies take up far too much time.
My one suggestion for improvement would be to lessen the segmentation of the forums; with so little activity there might be too many fora for different issues. I don't usually swing by them all to see if anything's new, as it's too time-consuming.
Keep up the good work, it's good to see that other people see the brilliance of DG as well.
