I think one way to make the forum more active is to simply get rid of many sub-boards that aren't used.
The boards by manufacturer is outdated, many don't exist anymore or have become obsolete since China took everything over.
I wonder if we need a new structure for the forum.
I don't think we need that many boards, only a handful is enough I think, something like:
Doll Bar & Grill general discussion + including member items
Share your doll, photos and everything discussion focused on your dolls
Help, tips, repairing, hair, makeup, fashion etc
well not sure if everyone want
change
