BORING EOFF
In case there were any misunderstandings.
Events, events. I love the word events. I like typing the word events, I like saying the word events aloud. Events, events, events, events, events, events. So, events: we can always use more events. Are there ever too many events? No, we are events-starved, surely. See a slow forum? It needs an event. See a lull in posting? Get an event in there stat.
I suggest novel events for people of all walks. Have we had a FF-THEMED BAKED GOODS contest yet? Monthly fanfiction WRITING COMPETITIONS are like crack pipes for yaoi fangirls. Best Halloween costume contest? Pumpkin carving co--I did that last year. I seriously think we can make up a million reasons to have competitions and events. Do you guys like Gunbound? Halo? The possibilities are endless.
The problem? Getting people to run them. Good organizers and committed leaders are in short supply, and a lot of people balk at throwing a little cash towards something, gasp, online. Dudes, I do not know about you, but I am (sadly) invested in the community here, and going a little out of the way to make the place snazzier is totally worth my while.
