Activity on the comics are important. Without that it takes a REALLY dedicated community to hold itself together. I was a part of one that held itself together modestly well for a few years, but eventually I actually drifted out of the community so I'm not really one to judge.
With that said, activity... and to be exact positive activity... in the forum is important as well. I don't think we've crossed the line into bad activity, but I'd still like to see small constructive action rather than a handful of people trying to carry the voice of dozens.
Maybe a project would help... though the question is what can be supported by only four people? Because that is what we have by my count. Two newbs, myself and Punk. A moderator, Felblood. And the administrator, Dragyn.
...I wonder if it's possible to run a never-ending-story(tm) with that few people? Or fewer since I'm not sure if anyone but my player would be interested.
