Fellow users on the SpongeBob SquarePants TV.com forum, we need to have a little talk.

This place is dead. Dead as a doorknob. It's not insane-posts from 2007 on First Page dead, but it's shameful how far this forum's gone downhill. From 2005-2008, this place rocked. Rocked beyond belief. Some people say "oh the reason this place isn't as good now is because of the mods and redesigns". Well NO. They certainly didn't help, and are the reasons a few users aren't here anymore, but y'know what the hands down, number one reason is for this place pretty much sucking the big one now? Us users.

We guys aren't friends. Seriously, that's a big reason why the this place used to rock, we were all good pals.We GET ALONG nowadays, but we're never actually really having together. We have no running jokes or stuff that only us closely-nit users can understand.

So how does this change? First, we start really becoming good friends. Then, we start some in-jokes around the forums a lot, in fact humor in general is hands down the best possible thing to get this forum. Don't think you're funny? You don't have to be! Any little jokes and stuff lighten up the forums, even if they're extremely lame. In fact that's part of the charm of the good old days, the horribly lame humor!

Also maybe we could start up a really fun game or two. People act like zero games are allowed, but that's untrue, we ARE allowed to have four. A really fun game could really jump start the forum, along with maybe a contest or so every month, like some Spin-off competitions we used to have.

There's one last thing. And this is most important. We could do every single other thing listed if this one doesn't work. To put it extremely bluntly: DON'T BE A NOOB. What is a noob? A noob is someone who honestly brings nothing to the forum, they're ultra lame, never getinto any in-jokes or even try to be funny, and DON'T USE GOOD GRAMMAR. Seriously, if you use poor grammar YOU WILL NEVER BECOME A RESPECTED MEMBER OF THIS FORUM. So I beg with all my heart and all my soul, please everyone, USE GOOD GRAMMAR. Even if it just means actually capitalizing, that's good. You have that Caps Lock key for a reason.

So guys, come on, let's pull together. This is sorta like the User Commitee, except we don't just vote for a president and then do nothing. In fact, there's no presidents or even signing up for this, because it's not a group or anything. But please guys, please please please, could we all try to follow these guidelines? Also please suggest new things, if they seem beneficial we'll do them. So come on guys, let's get this forum back.

P.S. Mods please don't delete this. Maybe it's not technically a SpongeBob disscussion but it's about the SpongeBob forums and that's enough IMO. Plus it's all to help YOUR site gain activity and become better.

Yeah i agree completely with you tvfan.

I have been trying to keep the fourms active lately though.

That is why we have the community. people need to get outta here and go to SBC. It's like America breaking away from Britain. In Britain it was strict and cruel, at Spongebob Community, it's fun and easy.

Why complain about this site and say, "Oh it's so dead." "I'm trying to keep it alive." "I wish everyone hadn't left" and blah blibbity blah bitty blah.

Let's actually do something! Migrate to Spongebob Community. 62 people have already done so. So instead of trying to bring this sunk ship of a site back to the surface, lets go to a better, growing ship. I've been waiting for a committee of people to start deciding what to do about this dull site and finally we have it.
