I would like to start up an open debate on what to do with the forums when MITM end. My fear is that we will have nothing new to talk about, we will get fewer new members and hence conversations will die and the forums will become a wasteland.
I do not want this to happen, and I feel that the best way to avoid it is to diversify into something else. Suggestions on this would be good. We have a massive database of members here, and we need to find out what else we have incommon, a television programme, sport, hobby etc - I notice we all enjoy learning about each others "way of living" the cultural differences between the many different countries we have here - perhaps that is something to think about, also we all enjoy many other programmes, Law and Order, The Simpsons etc for example get mentioned quite a lot.
I do not want to go down the road of one programme again, since we may end up with a cliques situtation, or worse have a forum for 2 "dead" programmes!
My suggestions include opening it up to mulitple programmes, for example programmes on the FOX network (24, Family Guy, Simpsons etc all popular etc) or perhaps something else, more general we could have TV / Movies / PC Games etc. These are only suggestions I really need everyones opinions on what we should do after MITM ends.
My opinion is that if we have other things to "attract" people here then the MITM sections will remain relatively lively with discussion, it will also act as a gluing agent to our older members.
I have many suggestions as to what we can do, but I want to here everyone elses first, it is your community as much as mine and I want to create something everyone will come back to and talk about.
