The reason why Zelaron was so active during the Diablo II days was because we put (almost) all of our focus and efforts into a single area. Now, we have a large number of different sub-forums, all of which have about half a member interested in each. Activity remained reasonably high after the "D2 era", but it was still augmented by the existence of our Diablo II forum.

Now that the Diablo II forum has withered and completely died, we need to refocus our efforts, or Zelaron in its entirety is likely to die, too.

So, in order to make Zelaron more active again, we need to choose one single subject/area and focus all of our efforts on it. As previously stated, I think either Game Hacking or RPGMaker will be ideal, because we have a pretty good background in both areas. This "background" will thus give us a boost of activities from search engines.

For those of you who think we should turn Zelaron into a full-fledged general conversation forum, I'm sorry, but it's a terrible idea. There are too many other general discussion forums around.

Edit: For those of you who think you have no interest in, say, RPGMaker or some similarly "focused" area, remember that general discussion worked fine during the D2 days despite the fact that we didn't dedicate 17 different forums to it.
