 I predict a site relaunch by the end of this year, with a modern & mobile-friendly interface and brand new forums. It has taken much longer than planned, but it's well and truly under construction. Not planning on killing the site anytime soon.

I hope that relaunch refreshes the site as you intend it to, but as per the current framework I think most of the old regulars are bored or busy (myself included) to do much. I have loved my time on BEA since I joined, it’s just a shame that we’ve hit a dry period (in summer of all things) that has really bummed some people out.

I've noticed a slight slump over the past few months, but I genuinely believe it's because this has been a lousy year for music. By this time I usually have at least 70-80 albums I like from the year, and this year I'm struggling to find 40. There's been a really bland selection of stuff this year.... I'm just hoping the fall is a bit more exciting.

Whenever someone says this it is always wrong, so surprised to see you going this route. Don't blame your own personal ambivalence on the quality of the year's music offerings.

I'd like to hear ideas people have for getting a little more activity on the site.
It seems like we try things and they do well for a little while and then fizzle out. The ALC lasted longer than I expected honestly, but it still has faded out, and over the last month, there was barely any activity on it anyways. Point of Discussion was very similar.
Does anyone have any ideas? Something that they personally would like to see? We haven't done a tournament in a long time, perhaps something like that? I'm not sure. All I know is that I've seen less and less activity over the past couple months, and the forums just aren't like they were before. I get that people are busy, I know that I certainly am, and I'm far from exempt from the lack of activity, some days I can barely do anything on here because of how busy I am. Is that it though? Is everyone busy? Is the site just not that interesting?
There's got to be something tangible that changed, something that's different now, what is it?

Well, it is summer for a decent chunk of users. I usually hop on here during lunch or waiting around for work or class, but I spend my free time enjoying the weather and going out with friends. I think a number of us probably are doing the same thing.

I know  I've argued against people saying that about previous years as well (particularly 2011), but I'm just finding this year so drab  Wanna shoot over a few recs?

It comes and goes, there aren't many long-standing users who were active throughout their time here, everybody takes a break from the site every once in a while. And it's summer now, so... I think the activity on forums always depended on a few older users remaining active and being the driving force + how many new users decide to contribute. The traffic these days is as heavy as I remember it (constantly 300+ users online), but I don't see many new users posting and a lot of regulars are having their quiet period. It will probably change eventually...
