Hello there,
I recently came back to this site and also paid for membership due to wanting to involve myself again with the community like back then in 2015, and unfortunately stumbled upon the activity issue that seems to be persisting throughout.
Even though I personally don't like it myself, would it be considered a good idea to invest into making an official (and Nitro boosted) Discord server for Animebase? I know due to past legal reasons, Naruto/Boruto episodes can't be posted here anymore, but wouldn't it be an interesting idea if they were instead posted through the hypothetical Discord server instead (like having a channel dedicated to it)? This way the issue could be avoided with not having it directly being published on this site.
It would also give a bit of exposure to here again if carefully applied, putting more emphasis on the discussion for anime, manga and the off-topics rather than pointlessly spamming memes or "funny thing of the day" like most of the servers, especially now that
I truly feel like with the way it is right now, there would be persistent issues with bringing in new members to the forum, rather than attempting to retaining the old ones that long have left. For me, I would love to have a community to chat with again about recent releases and whatever is going on in the anime/manga industry.
But as I said, it is just a personal recommendation based on my own experience (since I used to do the same with communities for World of Warcraft, and wrestling forums).
