@widget As best as I can tell, things around here started to "go south" in the post season 1 gap. The site having nobody at the wheel during one of the fandoms most important periods, during which it tried to define what it meant to be in this fandom when the show wasn't airing, left it directionless and caused it to lose a lot of traction. Other sites implemented contests, reading groups, or even "Go back and re-watch old episodes on a shared schedule to generate discussion" type deals, wheras RDN just had tumbleweed. If you want to restart the sites traction, it needs to have more of a call to action than "What's up." in the header. I've been thinking about the idea of implementing weekly discussion topics or something so that if someone comes on and the site is dead, they can answer that question and maybe start an activity cascade.
