Broken,

I do agree that the Support forum is inactive, but that doesn't mean we don't care about vForums. If you have a look at the Users Online Today, you see that there are quite a few of us who check in every day. I know that all of the staff have full-time jobs, and many have relationships and other things in their lives that keep them busy, as well. We still post when we have the time available to do so, but unfortunately sometimes that's easier said than done. You yourself said you're not as active as you'd like to be because of other things taking up most of your time.

Also, saying that the Arcade system has been "blown off" really isn't a fair statement. An arcade system is quite a large undertaking, requiring server space first of all (so it costs money to undertake), and quite a bit of time to complete. I personally have had a few attempts at it, but it's a little difficult to spend hours and hours on it (even over a period of a few weeks) when you have a full-time job, a part-time job, a freelance job, an internship, and getting loans/grants/applications/paperwork/etc together for college, all while trying to find some time to fit in a social life, as well, haha.

So I really don't think it's a lack of interest; it just takes a lot of work from the whole community to get a forum from an inactive state to a self-sustained active state, and as you yourself know, life is very busy at times. The levels of activity do fluctuate (usually being quite a bit busier in the summer when things are generally slower for most people), so I personally think it will pick itself up as time goes on and peoples' schedules open up. If you look at the vForums home page, you can see that the growth is still steady, so the service as a whole is growing and succeeding just fine. While I do agree that it would be nice to have an active Support community, I don't necessarily think it's anyone's "fault".

Think of this like the "Big Community" (I guess only UK members will get that )
Still all the details to sort out on this, but the idea would be to have semi-official community run forums filling these gaps. I've seen other forum providers try this in the past but don't think they ever really offered enough support or incentive to get such things running. Initial thoughts?

Ah ok, something similar to what a very expensive and well known service that starts with a v did XD yeah but honestly I don't think something like that is really needed. I mean this place is basically already setup for it. I mean they already got a code database, code a code request section. Got a discussion and request section on graphics, etc. Just need to add contents.
