Is this forum declining in activity?

It doesn't seem to be as jumping anymore or is that just me?

It seems to be getting around 25 posts per day, which it was early on. Perhaps there are more forums now, which gives the impression of less activity.

Virped, for example, despite having 3x the activity level, has multiple forums that haven't updated in over a week.

Maybe you are less interested in the threads where people are debate bro-ing, of which there are a few lately.

Remember these pages exist to condense all the new content, e.g. https://forum.map-union.org/search.php? ... ive_topics

While I frequently check the forum, say once every hour or so casually, I only log in when I intend to make a post.

All forums have busy or slow days, Mu is no exception to it, but I wouldn't say the brief time that I have been on this site so far could be counted as a decline, if anything it is still growing.

There are a few reasons why it might appear that way.

1. We have brought in new rules to deal with fake AAMs. They generated activity but were not acting in good faith.

2. Fragment is not participating to the extent he was, for personal reasons.

3. I now have a commitment that is preventing me from participating as much as I could over the winter.

However, we also have some very thoughtful and insightful new members such as WavesInEternity.

If you want to see more activity, start more discussions or reply to topics that have not yet generated much debate. :)

I also lost over 600 posts during a crazy moment.

Lots of topics that feel strange with my posts gone from them.

Don't know. I'm new here.
I think if more MAPs on social media know about this forum and join it then probably we'd have some more activity?
Are we allowed to share link to this forum online?

Yes.

The activity comes in fits and starts because the forum has low levels of activity. With a forum such as Virped, it is harder to recognise patterns like this, but here, and especially on BoyChat, where everything is focused on one board, you will notice differences in activity.

We are in the process of appointing committee members (from established users here, and from MAPs who are more active on social media) who we hope can act as evangelists for this forum, as it changes in appearance over the coming weeks. An aim has been set for the activity levels to double within 1 or 2 years, and this will mean we have achieved our goal of providing an alternative to Virped.

Hell yeah! I think I will be posting the link to Map Union on my social media accounts to see if it gains traction
