I just wanted to throw my lot in here with a bit of advice for everyone.

I'm seeing a lot of feedback from members old and new, long gone, and still quite present. Of all you who have chimed in to share your perspective, thank you. To grow we need feedback. That said, to those who have offered their thoughts with little in the form of a plan -- what exactly do you expect now? It's a simple truth that if you'd like something to change you must do more than ask. Create a plan. Get a few volunteers who know more than a penny's worth about coding and what not, and actually have something to present to Mahz and the Administration. Simply stating that change is needed is great, but we know there is an issue, now we need to engage it and move forward. 

As I understand, amongst the Administrative team here there are a number of skills and perspectives. Namely, we have a few more than capable of creating content, though not necessarily integrating said content into the forum or website. So we do have the means at least for a visual overhaul -- not a huge improvement, but hey, a little change to what you see everyday can have a great effect. Do we have anyone else with special skills and a willingness to invest a bit of time (realistically) each week? 

Personally, my day job is in Marketing and Public Relations. I'm familiar with Social Media Marketing, Community Development, and my hobbies lie in the visual and literary arts. The RPG Newsletter is very similar to two newsletters I run in my place of work as well. While I'm not volunteering to take that or anything else on all on my lonesome, at the least, I can provide a hand and offer some help structuring a sustainable model that allows regular content creation (like the Newsletter) without pulling too much on any individual. I am also willing to help invigorate RPG through Social Media if that's desired, if nothing else than to bring a little more attention to the forum.
