Alright guys, it's pretty obvious TBT doesn't ave much going for it right now. It can either keep getting worse or it can take a turn for the better. But for it to do that, everyone here needs to want it. Everyone. It's little things that have accumulated to make TBT what it is right now. Here's what needs to happen.
Help the staff out. There are basically 2 staff members, Odd and Storm. By helping them out, I'm basically saying don't give them (or for that matter) anyone else a hard time. More than ever now, it's important to be respectful of everyone. TBT needs to get that positive atmosphere back. There's no need to go make a post about all the crappy things about TBT right now... it's kinda obvious that there are a ton. But please put your ideas out there to make TBT better and more fun and lively.
And if you don't like someone, fine. Just don't reply to their posts, Don't even read their posts, if that's what it takes. Just ignore them. Although a conflict might be between just 2 people, it makes the whole forum look bad. And as much as some of you don't like new members, you need to have open arms to the few new members that trickle in here, and hopefully the masses that flood the place in a couple months. Remember, you're never gonna meet some person you dont like from TBT in person, so just ignore them... don't start forum drama and an argument and cuss them out or say something smart. Just be the bigger man and do nothing. It makes the world (of TBT) a better place.
And one thing a lot of people aren't doing is posting! I looked in the DS board, there hasn't been a new post for like over a month! AS long as it's something relevant, as long as at least one other person would think it'd be something cool to talk about, go and post. If no one replies, just try again another time. Don't get discouraged. And go reply to other people's posts. It builds the threads and they end up being more useful, informative, enjoyable, whatever... and no guarantee, but if you reply more, so will others... to your posts too. Go talk about what you wanna see in AC City Folk. Or about those Wii games from like a year and a half ago you were randomly playing. Or a commercial you saw for a new DS game. Or news you haerd about some awesome N64 game coming to VC... whatever you think is worthwhile... this is an Animal Crossing / Nintendo forum... so talk about AC & Nintendo!
So basically, go out and post more. Be respectful to everyone... if it's not nice, don't say it. And let people know about cool ideas you have for making TBT a better place. What do you miss from the old days? What has TBT never had that you like? etc. etc.
