Squirtle's Tricks for Making a Forum More Interesting.

1. Original Ideas

2. Updating

3. Organizing

1. Original Ideas

It can even be a Word Game, but the idea is to try something new that works, or take something from the past and add your own twist.

For example, Hurt/Heal was very popular during 2021-2022, but they died as the new gen came here. I did manage to revive it with a Pokémon hurt/heal, which was followed by other hurt/heals made by other OTF members.

2. Updating

This is where my thread had flaws. It was a good idea, but since I was rarely updating it, I canceled it. You should check your thread at least twice per day, even more if it is a game.

Organizing

If it's a game, you should have a leaderboard for points (exceptions being Word Games). You don't have to make something sofisticated like a Google Doc, a simple leaderboard will do it.

Will add more soon...

cool. (should i read it?)

Stirring up drama usually works too.
