Is anybody out there??

[Der Kuenstler]

I was exchanging mails with another Blitz member today about why our site has gotten so quiet lately.

In my opinion a few things have combined to make the perfect storm.

1) This is a dying game as Battlefront isn't updating it anymore.

2) Many of the most prolific posters we had were either banned or have left on their own.

3) The few CM players that are left on earth are all fragmented into several different clubs around the net, all doing their own thing instead of being in one club.

4) The current Blitz all-time ladder view discourages new players, who look at the huge scores on page one and give up - when they realize it would take 5+ years to get to that page.

Also this member mentioned that "pretty much everything that can be discussed, has been." I didn't mention his name as I didn't get his permission.

I would be intersted in knowing your (reasonable) opinions on what can be done, if anything, to get things a little more lively around here.
