BRING THE FORUM BACK TO LIFE! | Small Idea to Help the Mine-imator Forums Grow

[The Rhapsodic Dude 73]

Hey everyone!

I regularly check upon MI Forums eventually after every hour or two. And what I see, is that content is being posted in at least after 3-4hrs. HOW OFFLINE CAN BE A FORUM BE? I've heard that these forums were active some time ago, but now people have stopped looking on it. We need to do something to help this place nurture on its best! We can't just see the forums go into dump sites.

I had a small idea that might help bring more activity to the Mine-imator forums.

Many well-known members here also have YouTube channels, Discord servers, social media pages, or other communities. What if some of us added a link to the Mine-imator forums in our bio, description, or link section on those platforms?

Even something simple like:

“Find my models and posts on the Mine-imator Forums:”
(forum link)

It might seem small, but if a lot of creators do it, it could slowly bring more people into the forums. New users would discover the community, see the amazing models and animations here, and maybe start posting their own work too.

The Mine-imator forums are one of the best places for sharing rigs, models, help, and inspiration. A little visibility outside the forums could help keep the community active and growing.

Just a small suggestion, but I thought it might help!

What do you all think?

Nice idea and concern about the forums.

How was it hidden from me for a month?!

I remember when this place was busy and active. But I do agree, this place shouldn't be dead quite yet.

Hi, Dinosaur from 2013 here. 

I think the age of forums has sadly come to an end, and most people share their work primarily on social media. 

 

I do like the initiative to link things back to the forums when interacting on other platforms, i like how the reputation system here gives people incentive to actually post and improve.

Fellow dinosaur from 2013/14 here. I'm honestly surprised people are still active here, let alone on forums as a whole. Last time I really saw this place active was around 2014-2015 (when I was still in middle school), but that could just be because Minecraft and animation were my hyperfixations back then. It's nice to see that the community is still alive and well though and that new members are still entering the scene. I hope you guys have as much fun with Mine-imator as I did back then!
