I've been here the same (bakers) dozen years as  Nobody, and completely agree with his assessment.
However, what I will add is that we DO have a sense of community and friendship. I don't think that will go away. |
I agree with you both. SO how do we encourage more participation from the remaining community? Is too many challenges really the problem? And how do we get more members to vote and comment? |
Well said. The community and friendship is the one thing we have here at DPC over any other site. The reason I wanted my original challenge suggestion thread locked, after I quickly realized the error of my way, has basically happened in this thread...death spirals and empty bars, etc., etc. I have cozied into DPC after trying to leave it almost a year ago. I couldn't stay away even a year. I enjoy the challenges, the way they inspire something new , something I may never have tried. I missed voting...and Ken came back. Ken is fun. Sometimes when my mind has a spare moment, I try to think of things that might help things here at DPC, hence my suggestion the other day. At least I tried. I have no stomach for complaining with no remedy.
How do we get people to vote? I don't know. But Nobody is right, we need more fun. I really miss the side challenges we used to have. It would be nice to start one again, and keep it going for an entire month. Maybe even voting side challenge/thread just to remind each other to vote...like the score threads. I know I'll keep voting and keep on trying to move up that top 50 statistic page. |
