[QUOTE="Elijin, post: 8367, member: 77"] Everyone knows the best solution to getting around people not signing up to a site which is too inactive, is to lock all activity and get them to sign up to the idea of eventually signing up to some future version of the site, if some theoretical number is filled in the waiting list. If people are forgetting you exist, suspending your own existence wont suddenly spur them to remember and anticipate the day you exist again. The Escapist exodus was a fluke situation where something looked like it was facing imminent shutdown without warning, and people jumped to a lifeboat on the notion that it was one of the few ways to co-ordinate if the site they were already on just stopped existing the next morning. If anything, your idea of putting this site into lockdown might spur activity towards other sites, as the few here look for another place where they can continue to interact. Ultimately the revival of this site was born on the crisis of another site. A crisis which resolved without incident. The biggest problem you've encountered is the fixation that the brief resurgence around here was based on your 'unique outlook and ideals of freedom' instead of the reality that you were a lifeboat for a sinking ship, which has patched over a leak or two and soldiered on for the time being. If you choose to try and move forward by suspending the website, know that you're actually just giving up on it. Anyone interested will move on, not wait around for some day enough people have built up in some waiting list, eagerly awating the gates re-opening :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
