Quick suggestion. Make some kind of polls where members can vote whether that thread's MOD is suitable or not. Sole purpose is to motivate mods to keep the sub forum up and running. I went through the forum a bit and seems like some sub forums are getting rather neglected. Just closing unnecessary threads and removing mean posts doesnt make you a mod, anyone can do that and people who are running sub forums should prove they are passionate about what they are doing. I personally left so many sub forums cos I felt like people running them didnt really care much. So yeah, here's my two cents.
Note 1: When I say I left sub forums, I mean the time almost a year ago, so Im not talking about anything that recently happened, but complaint is universal and the suggestion applies nevertheless
Note 2: "Im busy" and similar arguments ARE NOT valid arguments. If one doesnt have time or is simply uninterested at the moment to improve the sub forum by creating events and thinking of ways to improve the place, step down. There is nothing wrong with being busy, but if you are not able to do something at the moment, simply let someone else do it in the meantime.
I know it doesnt seem like a big problem, but just to give an example, I personally pretty much lowered my activity to a minimum cos of this specific problem. Not entirely, but it had a lot to do with me not being active here.
Note 3: Im not complaining about anyone specifically, just something I noticed about this place generally, on a few spots.
Other than that, kudos to all of you running this place and keeping itso frendly and pleasant. Also, a huge shout-out to Revise and Lycan for being so engaged with the Pokemon Trivia, the only sub forum I'm still hanging around at.
Peace! :)
