By the way, that was an intentional misspelling.

I can't see how the Admins could be responsible. Getting new admins wont suddenly increase the amount of activity.

A lot of good admins like Pete Nattress, ShadowCaster, Broomie have left the community or are being pretty damn dormant.

I haven't really left the community, I still pop by every now and again to see how things are going. I do appreciate you calling me a good admin, even though I was only in power for about 4 months and thought I could have put a lot more effort in to the job but when you lose interest in the hobby it's hard to keep interest in the site as well. Still like to make games though, so I haven't completely lost faith in indie gaming. In fact, Space Quest 2 is nearly finished, a remake of the 16 color adventure by Sierra. Shameless plug I know, but I still like to update where I can.

Haha, I like how the most depressing topics are the most popular ones.

TDC's getting boring for a great number of people because it's staying the same. Circy's been a mod here for years, and it's getting boring teasing him. The same members stir up the same shit about the same times of the year, almost down to the day (we pretty much could make our own TDC holidays around them). Not that stirring up shit is bad all the time, it's just getting boring fighting the same battles. I've seen all these members around here all the time, and I can guess what people will post even before they post; what's the point in posting anymore?

A cycle of admins, topics, members, game ideas, attitudes toward game creation, and TDC layout would be all great, but I'm thinking most of them might be unrealistic. It should be an equal effort between members and admins to keep the site alive, and right now I think that infighting between the two groups won't help anything. So at least, can we stop that?

I think another problem is that People don't discuss the actual klik hobby enough- the only place to discuss the progress of a game is in the project forums,which seem quite separate from these. I'd like to see more discussing of artwork and coding/gameplay and music in the main forums, and less shit like I post about what I ate for breakfast (yes, I'm admitting I post some crap) Basically more devlog threads, much like the Tormishire one and such.

That sounds about right. I think the problem is that all activity on this site is centered around the forums. Relatively few people ever visit the other sections, so the actual game-related discussion is always kept off the main forum. One way to fix this problem would be to move everything to the forums, like separate sub-forums for downloads, articles and projects, so people would create their own threads for their games or articles. I can't see that happening though, it just wouldn't be TDC anymore. Maybe someone should just start a new click site, with only a front page and a forum. Sort of like TIGSource/TIGForums?

I see two main problems, this site is more like a chatting ground for a lot of us now - face it most people aren't even working on games right now. That and the fact that we have no new people... Even just two years ago (about when I joined up here) this place was booming compared to now, I felt so small like this was a huge site that had so many games, I remember when we had 15 games in GOTW - it didn't matter if they sucked or were nooby - they were still fun. Now, it feels like I know everyone on this site at least partially - it just feels empty, there are no new users who discover TGF on a magazine and find TDC to post their games - just new people who have to be so determined to stick around and endure the crap newbies get put through and older members who are either making big games or not making games at all.

Click isn't dead, the CT forums have plenty of new people - we need to get them here. As much as I used to dislike the idea of putting MMF logos in my games, it seems like a good idea - I mean big names like Nifflas put it in and it gets players to check it out if nothing else.

The community isn't DYING but it's definitely not what it used to be (and I'm not even an ancient member here, I was 4 in 1996).

Also, I have no problem with the administration here - though news is a bit whacked out... We don't need every game submitted on the front page of the site! When a game hit the front page it used to be an honour - now it's just "oh another game".

Longest post I've done in a while - mainly because I'd like to see things change.

Everyone has a plan

Let's see who actually carries theirs out though.
