What this site needs is a boost in contributions/submissions from members. I know there is a lot of other sites out there that are just as resourceful and more of a "relaxed" atmosphere then this site is: this site does have the one advantage is the Compendium- thus, the combination of "professional and rulings" appears to be the only thing people see when they come to the site. I agree there needs to be something that is more appealing here in order to get more members-
It takes more then just the mod's doing what we can to keep the site going, we need members who want to boost this site.
Example: Player Daniel from the masters division writes an article for said "fan site"- Daniel is a Pokegym member. Why does Daniel not also include to post his article here as well?
Just an example is all- members can not say this site is "dead" and complain that there is nothing here if they choose not to share when they contribute elsewhere.
If all that is left here is just "answer how does card A work in situation B when card C is also in play?"
No fan fic writers, no "Hey, so I used deck B in Regionals and it worked well against deck c and got 3rd place over all because deck B was not that great of a match-up against deck A"
I know werewolf is not on here currently, but, this site should not rely on other non-Pokemon related games just to get interest and contributions on this site. Yes, it is an added "bonus" on here if it is ever allowed back on this site- but, the main focus is all things Pokemon- werewolf is just one small factor of an offering to one minor thing that can be done on this site that is just that: a small fun little bonus.
I can only contribute so much, my TCG is not very strong and I am after all VGC pro- I do cater to that aspect as much as I can and as time allows. I am only a small percent of what I can offer, it takes more then the few mods left who are active to bring content in.
This is a community, a membership, a group of people with a common interest: with how many members, visitors, and over-all community player base-- I am shocked that no one is wanting to post anything at all.
I feel stuck, in a rut, and, I do not know what else I can do to get this site back up and going- but I sure am willing to continue to contribute as long as the site remains, even if 3 people look at what I post- it still is something
