Whats up with GSB?

It's been a while since I posted my last blog, and I'm glad I finally have some time to come by again. I must admit though, I never really left GSB the past two months, I snuck by every now and then, but I never really got involved anymore. Yet there is something I noticed that makes me worry.

Where has everyone gone?

Whenever I look at the online user list there is barely anyone on. Right now for example, it says there are 10 users online. I know the number of users changes throughout the day, but even when there were usually a lot of people online the list is pretty small lately. I wonder where has everyone gone?

I can't really judge how big the involvement on the message board is right now because I don't use it that often. But I feel like there are less and less blogs posted, and the Blahs stand still for hours leaving no comments at all.

Correct me if I am wrong, that's just how it feels.

Maybe it's just a phase, maybe in some weeks GSB will be full of people again. But what if not? It kind of scares me and I wonder what we could do. Maybe there could be a new activity, you know something new that creates a new excitement. Something like 'Coolest Blah of the day' and people can vote a Blah when posted. Like there could be a button next to every Blah.

Okay I have to admit I started to rant, but hey, that's where ideas come from: random thoughts.

I don't know how to put into words what I feel, but it feels like something's missing on GSB. It doesn't have to do anything with GSB itself, not at all, it has something to do with what people make out of GSB. GSB should not be a popularity contest, because it scares people away, and to be honest the Blahs sometimes feel like a popularity contest; it should be more a community of a big bunch of friends who have a lot of fun together.

At the same time it should not all just be about fun. It really makes me mad when people post Blahs asking for help and GSBians don't care about them but comment Blahs about the colour of their hair.

But hey, I also didn't get involved that much the past weeks but that's what I'm back for. I wanna bring GSB back to life again. Maybe with the help of everyone of you?

Alright, well, this blog has turned into a rant, but I hope that maybe at least a couple of people got what I mean.

Thanks for reading ^^
