I used to spam tons of news in Xbox Empire, it's not that hard once you follow the right accounts, I could potentially start posting news threads again, I love TV and could make a bunch of TV based threads (but I can't decide whether an OT should be for the entire series or per season, I.E. Season 1 OT, Season 2 OT, or simply "*Insert Show* OT") and I would like to see the Box Office thread more active again.
I've done this all before though, and I'm not sure, I want new ownership before I try to invest again in the site. My main posting is Russia-Ukraine Thread and Xbox OT, the former because it's an important issue to me, the latter because of the community but I'm finding myself taking regular breaks from VGChartz lately and struggling to find desire to post at all.
I can't get behind the current ownership, I firmly believe it needs to be replaced, the fear is that we add a temporary burst of activity but ultimately nothing still changes, the site still remains outdated, the site still doesn't get new users, the ownership still does the bare minimum, whilst cutting staff pay further, we get hacked again, the servers go to shit again, this is a reasonable fear, because it's all happened before.
We try to boost activity, it works for a time, but the site still can't receive major updates due to a lack of coders, the site doesn't attract new users, the coders we have eventually leave and then we're stuck with an outdated site with multiple issues that can't be fixed or improved, the ownership still doesn't show its face, the staffs already dogshit pay gets cut even more, the site gets hacked due to major security flaws, we lose massive amounts of history due to servers that aren't backed up.
I don't know, I'm conflicted to even try.
