TFS needs an influx of interesting new members. Simple as that. I've been here for a while and I've seen TFS go through a lot of ups, downs and lulls. Right now, this is kind of a downward lull. We still have interesting topics to debate about, but we also have a lot of the same. Most people sign on just to answer PMs but that's something that has to somehow change. We need to draw people here, make them want to comment, to contribute, and not just one sentence topics, unless it's a long a** sentence or a simple question.
We also need Tino to come back for a bit, even just to say hi so we know that he's doing okay and he still has interest in improving the site. He also runs a few other sites so he's busy, but even if he pokes his head in to say he's still around will be enough.
