The revamp of BSOTS was a dramatic upgrade to the look of the site. It is definitely prettier and I have noticed a much more aggressive attempt to create original content by BSOTS staffers. I applaud you.

However, after some observation since the overhaul, I perceive a dramatic drop in user participation. Sure, the game theads still garner a lot of commentary, as does the featured staffer articles, but the user generated posts [fanposts] seem to have dwindled, along with commentary on fanposts.

Maybe it is simply my misperception, but it sure seems like that to me. And frankly, part of the lure of this site has been the ability to produce content [free to BSOTS] and get feedback on that content by users like me. A discussion forum as it were, where we can throw out ideas, and then throw out others ideas [see what i did there].

Am I missing something?

Your thoughts?
