Basically all spun off SHL though. Back in the day everyone copied VHL.

Could be a reason for that change, you know

or because all those leagues are mainly SHL members

That's quite narrow minded thinking

Not really. Most people stick to what they know and prefer that.

 

Thinking that LRs at the top will improve LR activity is like saying removing the chat will increase posting in general.

I'll be honest, this seems like a dumb argument. If you want to mostly stay in your LR then make that your bookmark. If you want to read all the other stuff then you're going to scroll through the whole site anyways. Everybody wins.

So what are we going to do to increase activity, since this league is in an apparent crisis

How about change things? Or are we just going to sit here?

 

just looking for some communication from the higher ups, since I've heard some of them say we need to fix this site but haven't seen anything posted about the sites course of action

I dunno who said that. All that's being discussed is some potential improvements for S50.

 

Obviously, it would be great for more activity although all the panic is unfounded - it's not really a huge change from before. But,

 

1. There's no simple solution

2. LRs at the top are not a solution. It's just taking one successful aspect from a completely different league structure and hoping it works.

I think it's safe to say VHL is the grandfather of them all.

 

My grandfather was in World War 2 and referred to all Asian people as "those damn Japs". Just because he was old doesn't mean he was right.

I think people are forgetting that correlation does not equal causation. I highly doubt that people only post in the LR because they see it, people post because they have something to say or people they want to talk to. If you want activity to increase then you need to give people a reason to be active, it could even be something like awarding a TPE bonus to someone who creates a media piece that generates the a lot of discussion.

Better or they're just biased because that's the only way they knew.

I started out on the VHL before the SHL, and I agree with OP

tagging me after quoting is unnecessary btw

[Advantage 2,891]

I actually prefer it up-top too.

 

Though, that doesn't mean it's going to make LR's far more active.

The 'huge' recruitment drive and the conversation in the April fools thread is where I'm getting that from

 

It's not just that moving the LR will fix everything. But as it is now LRs are pretty much dead, I know until I got all my new recreates in Saskatoon LR that I was posting over half of the replies trying desperately to keep people active and interested. I see other sites where the LR is at the top that seem to be more active. like SHL(keep in mind I joined this site first) that I have had a lot of fun with recently for the main purpose that the LR has been amazing. Even the SBL, after its big fiasco and having like every staff member changed, still has much more LR activity than here. On the other hand I look here and see that last year I could almost forget that the Seattle LR existed. It's not a be all end all solution, i have never said that, but it works for other leagues, so maybe it could help here.

 

also, You guys are saying that you want to move discussion to the boards rather than the LR. do we even have that at the moment?...
