A few questions..
So, I realize that in 2008 the visitor messaging feature was removed for violation. But, that was then and this is now. The forum is significantly less active at the moment and I believe visitor messages should be given another shot with the currently active VMKForums fan base.
Secondly, this one is for the members: how can we populate the site again? With the other major VMK site closing, it inflicts a great fear in me that VMKForums will soon announce closure. Think about it - there are no contests, no anything to keep people here. Something needs to happen, contest hosting, etc. |

2). Invite your friends and family. Those are some ways of getting more members. The reason we do not do contests anymore is because our original contest creator, Tepcat. Tepcat saw that not as many people were competing in the contests over time, so Tep decided to stop doing them as they did cost much of her time, and negative comments were being left as to the type of contests going on. That is what I remember from her original post as to why they stopped. (Which reminds me I should send her a PM. Been a while since I saw her on). 3). There is plenty left. You can ask questions concerning WDW in my "Ask the VMKF's WDW Nerd" thread, play games in the arcade, do some of the activity threads in the Activities part of the forum, there's plenty to learn about various things or get in discussion over Disney stuff such as the Kingdom Keepers book or how Wizards of Waverly Place has ended. 4). Unless I'm so busy, have things to take care of, or am away, you will usually find me on the VMKF. But I'm not the only one who comes on either. 5). There has not been any word that VMKF will close down any time soon. I hope that answered some of your stuff. A Mod or Admin like Jezzie or Brain (their the two I see so often on here xD ) can answer more accurately than me. As far as the contests go too: I've tried doing fun WDW/DLR/Disney period trivia games before on here and while I can get a pretty good turn up for when it starts, as time goes by I do find it hard myself to keep people in the game as they don't respond back when they are suppose to. Don't get me wrong though. I'd love to see the contests come back myself: I'd even help create them, and not play in them so others could have fun and we can create more magical memories and experiences on here again. -Stitchco P.S. - Please keep in mind I am not a Mod or Admin. (nor do I ever intend to be one) and you should wait to hear what they have to say as well.

I have just seen a decline in the amount of posting, everything like that. Whether we like to believe it or not - there hasn't been a front page post in a couple of years. Maybe a refresh in the staff team (not saying people should be let go, but others should be brought in, perhaps?) to jazz things up a bit. I just think in the interest of the community as a whole, some innovations need to be imposed. I don't want to seem like an intruder. I know a lot of people have been here for a very long time.

As unfortunate as it is, it's very difficult to find subjects for discussion on a site about a game that hasn't been playable for many years. Adding more staff is not the answer. A forum, by definition, requires member participation. We would enjoy seeing members take a more active role in the forum. Visitor messages are not forum posts and neither are a surplus of red and pink names. Feel free to start as many thought-provoking threads that will lead to further discussion as you'd like.

I'm just trying to think of ways to spice up the forum. I just think that staff play a big part in spicing up the forum and that the current staff seem to have given up, and it saddens me.

I completely agree with you MrBrandon.
There have been no staff contests for over a year now. I along with EtnaGreen tried to take on the role of keeping the forums active with our Forum games which lasted a few months but then I stopped them. I could restart contests again for the fun of it..
