Title: Rename the "Leaving Posts" Thread
Post by: 12 Hatch on December 27, 2010, 11:10:25 PM
This may seem very minor at first, but I promise the logic of such a change is sound!

That thread is usually on the main page, and it's posted in fairly commonly by a lot of different people.  This can give the impression (as it did to me about a year ago) that this is a dying server in which players are abandoning ship.  Upon studying the thread, though, you see that a lot of the posts are either returning players, or temporary MIA's.  

Changing the title to "Leaving / Returning Posts" or something of that nature can only help new player retention when they visit the forums for the first time.

Most importantly, the time investment for changing the title is very, very low, so even the chance of an extra new player would likely outweigh it.

Easy on the Us vs. Them jokes. Misunderstandings do happen, after all. We've enjoyed a nice relationship with said server and its players.

I agree with the OP that said quest is totally not worthwhile.

Praise fishfood.

Nonsense aside, sure.
