How can we increase activeness on the forum
I feel like activeness on the forums has decreased as of late I wonder why this is the case and if there is anything I can do to make the forums more engaging for others I have been on this forum for 9 months and I’ve seen people come and go people I have considered friends people who share a common interest in Pokémon people who leave a mark on this forum and shaped it for what it is today I wonder is there anything I can do to help people feel more welcome on the forum

I've just gotten bored of it, there isn't any interesting posts anymore, and Pokemon hasn't had any relevant news in a while.

It's probably because we haven't had any new Pokémon games or news in a while, so there aren't many interesting things to talk about.

Its just a characteristic of the internet that some people don't see these(online) relationships as anything but chit chat or purely for entertainment. It's also the case that people will get tired of growing the relationships online because they will always be just online relationships. You won't go out for a beer or party with the others. It just isn't feasible to have more fun after a certain point. I enjoy my time here and want to see other members grow as people. I can only hope others feel the same.

Hey @clasingla I made a new forum post about making some sort of community event, that could work?

One idea could be to hold a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game here on these Forums. One person would basically become a "Dungeon Master" while other players would sign-up as the Pokémon of their choice but with obvious and rational limitations: No Legendaries or Mythicals. Pseudo-Legendary are allowed but must start as their base forms(if you want Aggron, you got to earn it by starting out as Aron first). Players would have to choose a regional variant(if applicable) along with the Ability they want.
Although I haven't been here long, it appears the Forum has limitations on what it can show. Yet if I were running it, which I'm not throwing my hat into the ring to do btw… I got the imagination of a rock, I'd carry it out by employing a chess like grid with each square having terrain that restricts Pokémon movement(ex: Water can only be entered by Water Pokémon, Flying Pokémon or those with Levitate Ability). The map would contain a boss Pokémon or objective for the team to succeed/fail on with obstacle Pokémon for the team to deal with.
Thoughts?

If we do something like this, I'll participate. Already have the Pokémon in mind: Alolan Vulpix with Snow Cloak. I thought about rolling with its Hidden Ability in Snow Warning, but Weather Effects could be detrimental to the team despite it buffing my Physical Defense while active. Modest Nature too. Shame it learns Freeze Dry so late though since it was an Egg Move in Gen 7 & 8. I'd love to start with it honestly if I could but will yield to Gen 9 movesets.

That's not something members should be worried about. People that work or own it are the ones that have that responsibility.
As random members all we can do is write whatever we want as long as we follow the rules. For sure nobody is expecting us (members) to find ways to keep this active… it is what it is.
And if you ask me the forum looks active enough and even a bit better than it was when the invasion started, now there's bit less useless topics and less childish stuff (theres still a lot of garbage but fortunately less). In this case less is more.

"people will get tired of growing the relationships online because they will always be just online relationships"
You must be kidding this is 2024... apart from that, this isn't a dating platform there are better places to do that, I'm sure that's not the reason a forum like this is more or less active lol
