You can't make something great without matured members. And as far as I know most of them don't have time or simply not interested in this forum, so you can't make it great, it was good when I first came here though. Though slowly the trolls crept in.

We are no less than the trolls. ;)

But yes, a forum is only as good as its members. I have been here since the PhpBB days. Those were the days.

I don't know what is available format / platform.
If it works as easy like a whatsapp group / topic wise discussion with proper notifications & fast response then it may work good.

A WhatsApp like group undermines a forum. A forum is good for topic wise discussions. WhatsApp groups are just chaos.

If users miss the point of a social group like Telegram and WhatsApp then that's the problem with the users themselves. The "only" reason those "should" be there for instantaneous support, which can never happen over a forum. A social group can't kill a forum, but it has, because of users, and for the same reason this forum is in coma too. I really don't expect much when average age of users is like 18, sorry, can't happen.

There has been instances of spontaneous support from forum's MODs in case of any problem for any member.

everyone grew up, have jobs and kids. bring in new school and college kids is the only way! this will happen if the main site is able to attract new visitors and then send them over to new forums.

I don't think its hard to get youngsters to the forum. Host some free Steam game giveaways for new joinees in some kind of raffle and they will come. No Indian kid in their right mind would turn down free stuff.

^ Yeah tom's Hardware is doing exactly that. And the way to enter is to answer a question which results in a discussion. If you just give it away people would just come here for the giveaway and not stay to discuss in the forum.

True. We can be a bit smart about it like that.

Start a giveaway thread and tweet about it or share it on Facebook or some reddit subs (/r/IndianGaming for example) and people will come.

+1 to this.

However, exclude them who give generic, spammy or stupid answers like these:

Would it be good if we could have a Markdown based post editor instead of BBCode or along with BBCode?

Markdown is much simpler than BBCode and is used in many sites such as reddit and stackexchange.

Edit: Perhaps it would be better to maintain BBCode as well for compatibility with older posts.

Can we have images in spoiler tags by default and only start loading it after clicking it. It's annoying to find the relevant image in a thread full of images because of the slow loading.

And a better larger font for the posts by default and better higher resolution smileys. I haven't seen the new site btw talking in comparison to the current one.
