It’s time to take hold of our future.

[randlove]

        The future of this board is very much in our hands. Every single moderator has quit and it’s up to us to revive the site. I do not wish to be a leader, just have thought long and hard about how this place should be cherished and celebrated as what it was years ago. We all remember the days where we would laugh at the fics posted or feel angry at eyeball. This sacred place has been filled with my depressed and desperate pleas for attention and attempts to jumpstart the board. I’m going to be posting the link to the board around in hopes to bring back a community that will make the board mainstream enough to get the original Randall fans back. I just want my community, my family, back. At the moment there are no mods to delete spam, and I hope that maybe a mod will see this and decide to help out with that in the future. Although it may seem like a sad fact to realize, the board is dead or dying. I’m the only one getting new members like jens to join. I saw an old member from 2013 log in yesterday (creativegirl31) this has renewed my hope for the board. All of our original members are on with their separate lives and haven’t even thought about this board for years. They probably don’t even remember the good times we all had watching the movies or coming up with new character ships or ideas. Most of the mods haven’t logged for 5 years now. Some say it’s too late for Boggs board, when in reality this can be a new beginning.
       This new beginning can only happen with the help of members new or old. All we need to do to bring it back into the public eye is to make conversation and keep active. If a hundred people spent a few minutes a day responding to messages I’d happily make videos and custom Randall merch etc. To keep everyone interested. This is not a promise I am willing to go back on and break. I truly love this board. I have attempted to spark interest through various methods of media but have been unsuccessful at recruiting long term or active members. Every few months there is a new member or an old one logs on to see what became of this place. Most of the originals are in their 20s making monster’s inc a movie made in the distant past. (2001). This may have been before many of the new members even came into existence. Although it may seem like a stretch this board can definitely foster a caring and helpful community again. Even our most resilient member randallboggs who posted over 15.8 thousand times (this is 1/3 of all posts on this site) has stopped posting years ago. I am willing to post daily with my failures and successes at helping the site grow and continue to be a place where people come to have fun and enjoy an old but great character Randall Boggs.
       From the bottom of my heart I thank all of you for your contributions to the site and great fun for so many years. Please let’s start it back up. I want the old times back. If you have any ideas on how to increase viewership or jumpstart the community please comment them below.

Long live the king!

With much love,

First off, I got you to join so jot that down.
Second, I agree with you completely. I think buying ad space on different websites will help bring new members to the board, and hopefully, an old member will see the ads and perhaps come back. We need a way to make money though. You proposed Randall Boggs merch, so why not create an Etsy? We can make stickers, shirts, keychains, etc. We could also hold more ads on this board, but part of the charm is that it doesn’t have loads of ads like other forums do. What do you think?

Ok I have tried to send messages to many people on deviantart and other strange message sites. So far only fairlyoddnewyorker has logged back on and I am very happy that at least one of the old posters has logged on. Thank you so much for this opportunity!
