Firstly, I posted this in OC, rather than OVP because I feel it could bring about broad discussion, if you disagree, by all means feel free to move it to OVP.
There's something about PC that is attractive to members, and is why this forum continually is growing in size. Many could agree that aesthetics-wise, this forum is waaay ahead of the other big ones, being Bulbapedia and Serebii. Some could say that the the ROM Hacks produced by people here are a reason why PC is popular, while others could say it's those reasons as well as a multitude of other ones, too. Along with that, generally the community is welcoming in nature (and with the various get togethers, you could say we have a community spirit). When new members join you generally hear "I've come from so and so because I heard this forum is better". It's funny too, most of the time you don't really see our members mention that they're leaving PC for another forum, while most of the time you always get people saying they came from either Bulbapedia or Serebii. I'm only mentioning those because they are generally the larger ones you hear of. Funnily enough, one has a Wiki to back up its popularity, and the other has a website. PC technically has neither (only saying technically, because PPN's site is technically PC's and yeaaah), so how come PC's up there with the big names?
What are your thoughts? What keeps the members "rolling in" - in a sense? I'd also like to ask another question - how could the community be improved? Actually, do you even think PC is successful? Do you feel it fails in comparison to the other forums? Also, what do you think keeps people here?
Also, it would help if you posted in general why you think it's successful, rather than why you specifically like it. And if you have a personal opinion of someone here being why you don't like it, we don't need to hear that.
Oh and:
