I actually think the whole, 'End of Decade' awards have been souping things up lately.

Certainly regained my interest in this forum (which was admittedly lacking over the last several months, sadly).

Hithere10/ShowmeRed, is that you again as I can't really understand this???

From what I can read, The reason this board has gone down is that nothing exciting is happening in wrestling at the mo.

Newbie here so Thread Games???

"Post something good for the board" - What could that be??

From what I know, You can't just draft people to a forum

The point of all this is? Feel free to start threads if you feel they might start discussion. From what I can see, this board is busier at the moment than what it has been in a very long time with plenty regular posters.

The thread games you refer to got entirely tiresome as whoever started them got carried away and they just got boring quick.

If you have any pearls of wisdom you wish to add, please do so.

I think there are more people posting here now than in a long time.

I think Dare 2 Defy is correct when he says there isn't that much going on to talk about. In general many of the threads have a consensus of opinion and without opposing opinions threads move slower.

I think it has gone fairly depressing myself...Flahavaj's awards thread is cool though

I did actually have an idea for a Survivor Series-style game a couple of months back while I was doing the Draft game which I had been meaning to bring up. I actually thought it could be a good way to revive my interest in wrestling but I never followed up on it.

The idea was basically for a game that would be a bit like a Last Man Standing competition. We would each choose about 20 or so wrestlers from Raw, Smackdown or ECW. We would then over the weekend select 10 of these wrestlers who would be active for the next week of wrestling. If one of the 10 wrestlers you selected lost a match (even if it was by a DQ) then that wrestler would be eliminated from your roster for the rest of the game. If all your wrestlers were eliminated you would be out of the game.

For example, say your chosen wrestlers were...Christian, Batista, Rey, HHH, Orton, Cena, Jericho, Kane, Undertaker, Morrisson, Miz, Finlay and so on...

You would choose 10 of the above to be active for the next week of shows and would also arrange substitutes (a bit like in Fantasy Football games) so that if one wrestler didn't feature the sub could take his place.

I was also thinking we could choose a captain (again like the Fantasy Football) and if that wrestler won his/her bout then you could then buy back a team member that was defeated.

We would keep going until we had someone in the game with active wrestlers left.

I thought it would be a fun idea because you would have to think about which wrestlers you would use and which ones you'd leave out and it would make watching the matches a bit more interesting because if one of your guys lost you would be down a member.

It's a bit of an ambitious game and I'm not sure if it would work out. Let me know what you make of the idea anyway.

That seems really drawn out by the looks of it tbh. It seems the game would on until TLC at the rate you described it as but I'd be up for it!!

I'm losing interest in this forum more every month because there is nothing happening in wrestling that excites me. I usually just venture in to the OTB thread for the craic.

I do think that too many games like we had 4 or 5 moths ago is a bit annoying though. Maybe it's just me.

there are 3 admins Cmods that dont mod PW, Myself, Gimmick and Terry (who was only appointed as imo you should always have atleast 2 active mods on a forum and my move to Taiwan has meant Gimmick would be alone during certain time periods when the board could be busy and need moderating as im now 8 hours ahead of Ireland). There are not 6 active mods moderating this board nor is it up for discussion how many mods we have here either.

secondly if you (plural as some agreed) think the board is getting quiet or in need of some new threads or games or whatever, then be proactive and think of a new thread or game idea and post it. if it doesent interest people then it wont take off it it does good on you. Dont just come on here and moan that this place isnt as good as it was whenever or that this place needs x, y and Z as how is that beneficial.

We do the drafts once a year and it has not been long since the last one so we wont just do another one because you think we need more posters. However feel free to try and think up a new unique idea to get new posters here/ maintain old ones interest like the draft which Minto/MNG came up with iirc or the BWE/ATH that i did, add to the boards Biki page to get convo flowing (linked in the hot threads sticky), make new threads that could get constantly bumped like the "Some of Todays Wrestling News and Rumours" thread originally made by DM-ICE iirc because such things could achieve what you think needs achieving. Personally i think that the board is fine atm

Just wait, when Hogan debuts on TNA the wrestling world and hence this forum will explode!~!

I would say this place did take a turn for the worse about 18 months ago in my opinion, when alot of regular posters got sick of the circus the place had become. Even when the circus ended, many never came back.

I also think it's a case that alot of the regular posters (including myself) who posted on here for years have pretty much discussed everything they wanted to, are getting older and with the current product not appealing to them, there isn't really a whole lot to say.

I'm sure the board will pick up again if wrestling has a boom or when the kids now start going on the net in the future and start remenissing about this current period of wrestling.
