Why would we give up?
If you ask me, none of us have given up on this site. To be honest, Rem is right about what their is to talk about, but the whole point in forums is to discuss. Surely their are the same discussion's going on around each sub forum, but as a GTA Based website, we have to stuff like this, or we wouldn't be classified as a GTA Related site. Things do get interesting and fun, especially with GTA IV. Stuff like the Trailer #3 remake is actually good, because it was all set in San Andreas, and it all looked great, but alot of members would like to know what they used to make it, and where to get it (e.g. Niko Bellic's skin for SA).
Modding is probably the biggest thing that's been known to GTA for quite a while now, and for one, they look hell alot good. I for one don't own any of the games on PC but the game would be great to mod if I had it, and it would be extremely fun to test it out. We are probably known for our Download database which is good because this would get us alot of members to submit their mods and join our websites. And staff come into this part since they would be the one to accept it (But Chris only does that, not the rest of the staff. But it would be good for us staff to do).
Members that hang around outside the GTA Gaming Category would be the members that don't really like to talk about GTA, or aren't interested in it. It's not really a problem to honest, as that's what brings us a community. A reward system isn't a bright idea since members would do it for the award, not for the sake of it. I think with the Warzone removal it's made the full site itself more better. I think alot of you would agree with that, and of course most of the staff do. That is probably one step we're taking to make a change and it's done some stuff. No. 1 would obviously be that there's no more flame topics out their in the forum, that itself will make a big impact on the members who regularly visit that part of the forum. No. 2 would also be that other forums that were inactive have become active again and are being talked on, and finally, this is where I can come and help members with what they really need help with. And finally, No. 3 would be that we're now under the changing period where the forums will be changing itself to a more better community, and for the best.
We've come this far, we shouldn't stop and give up. Then we would be called Weaklings which we are definitely not. We can get better if the staff start working in a team and this would definitely change TGTAP since we would have staff members doing different roles (e.g. Site Content, Mod Accepting and Declining etc). Big changes can start changes happening if we start doing it right now.
Sorry for the long Post, but all of this has to be heard or we might never get to show the big change.
