I used that as an example, because, from a leadership perspective, there are a lot of similarities. But the popularity and activity on both is clearly different. I think the classifieds are better there because firstly there is a lot more activity, and secondly the rules appear to actually be enforced. I pay little to no attention to the rest of the forums because it really is not my interest.
Perhaps the issue is that the subject matter here is not the primary passion of the owners of the site. Perhaps some folks have become burnt out over the years. Perhaps staff members have moved on and are spending the majority of their time elsewhere.
There is lots that could be done, in theory, people need to make suggestions, someone needs to step up and acknowledge those suggestions, and then maybe take action on some of those suggestions.
The way things are running right now is a disservice to the sponsors, those registered as Aquaria Central vendors, and ultimately the staff/moderators here
