The website has been up for 7 months now. When I first started it up
on a whim, while IMing with Colin, I had this grand vision of a
message board and wiki integrated with all the information a new
player might need to jump into the game and feel at home. The wiki
was perfect for NPC biographies, player backgrounds, and session
recaps, and the message board could be a great place to chat about in
game topics between sessions. We had a similar experience with Josh's
gaming group before it dissolved, and it was useful, entertaining, and
fulfilling.
I feel like this is a missed opportunity, but not that our game is
suffering because of it. It would be super if everyone was engaged
and posting about the session during the week. I would be tickled
pink if people had public discussions about in game events,
speculating on their significance. I do not think that this makes our
game less fun when we lack these things, but I think that it makes the
game last longer. In the time between games when work and school and
life sort of tend to dominate, having a few minutes of game time to
chat about something would be a treat.
That being said, I already post more than anyone (about 1/3 of all
posts are mine, in addition to all those session write ups, please get
a life Jay) so I don't think that me posting more will mean anything.
Is there any other way that this site can grow? Get to the next
level? Is anyone else really on the same page? Does this really
matter to our game?

I agree with everything here 100%. I went ahead and put up a post game
thread for the recent one shot. we didn't have that many players
yesterday, but I hope the ones we do have post a little.
