Hey guys! I was looking at the forum statistics. It says there was 187 guests and 27 users active in the last 60 min. What can we do to get some of those guests to sign up?

Should we create a game or something? Maybe make something appealing for them to join.

Anyway, thought we could use a few more of us around here.

Yea new member/guest ratio probably has a strong correlation with the actual PP content and communication of the staff with everyone. Geoff and Jerret has given the place a feeling of abandonment.

RELEASE EPISODE 19 OR JUST LAY DOWN THE TRUTH!

Love how the resident tough guy is happy to talk trash on an internet forum but back pedals as soon as he is called out. Typical coward. No doubt he'll respond to this with excessive bravado in order to restore his rightful place as a fully fledged internet badass.

This.

I'm a big fan of this show, but it feels dead to me. When the most activity on the forum - from what I can observe - is the Crap section, something is wrong. I can respect that making a TV show would take a lot of work, but I doubt it would take up all of the crews time. Log in and post a few sentences telling us whats up. The last main page update was in September. I know (or at least I think I do) that they have stuff in the works, but keep us in the damn loop. When months of silence go by people get bored and leave.

Maybe get rid of A LOT of sections too. Combine art with music etc. Get rid of tons of dumb ass stickies. A funny pictures and videos sticky? YTMNDs? Come on..

We can at least have the appearance of a more lively forum if it wasn't so spread out. Get rid of that streaming news RSS feed or whatever the hell that atrocity is.
Sections with stickies, sub sections of those sections with stickies, holy shit.

What a disorganized post.

This has been a gripe of mine for a very long time.

Forums thrive on users being able to post what they want, when they want, wherever they want.

If they have to think about where they are going to post it, the chance of it being posted decreases.

'Official ________ thread' is such a waste of space, i'm not about to read through 30++ pages of content from 3 years ago just to post some random tidbit of something or the other, I'd rather make a thread and see it fall off the front page because other more interesting content has taken over.

Especially when half the content inside these threads isn't actively hosted anymore, dead links and broken images aren't interesting in the slightest.

I wish someone that doesn't care about this place would put someone who does care about it in some sort of position of power, I think things could really pick back up. Sure, it's not going to be how it was back in the days, but those days have passed, it's time for the new blood to come together and provide the lols

When was the last episode released?

I don't doubt that it takes a decent amount of time to organize to get the show together, but the time is getting longer and longer between episodes i think (I'm only guessing based off of the last time a bunch of new people showed up because I stopped watching the show a long time ago). Feels kind of like the show is dying, so it makes sense that the forums for it are dying. People are breaking off into side projects, and having those pulling away from PP is hurting the forums too.

If the PP forums were more central to what everyone was doing it would probably help the forums a lot. Kind of like the over-arching brand of all the sub-projects.
