This is a design board?

If you look at traffic stats (which obviously aren't 100% reliable obviously but whatever), the high point ironically enough was last summer when hedge was terrorizing the site.

I kinda of miss the moderation NT had. The trolls caught the boot uber-quick back in the day.
Although I did get flagged once for telling someone to "suck a turd" (or something similar)
- QBN, he said "Suck a turd. Can you throw him out please?Horp
- I once got a strike for starting a thread about slippers. Still runs deep, that one.Jnr_Madison

If you're serious about turning back the clock and making QBN good again, here's what I propose:
Make a list of design threads that you intend to contribute to as often as possible. By adding good content and not making snide remarks to other users the general mood should swing back towards having this place as a good resource for design inspiration.
Here are the threads I intend on starting contributing to:
- The Useful Thread
- POTD Design
- POTD BrandingLets see if we can keep these 'decent' threads updated regularly.
- I started one of those, so I am the Solution, not the Problem. Just sayin'...TheBlueOne
- Hey Did you guys see the Furries thread?TheBlueOne
- You don't make a thread about the list of threads... Just start contributing the good stuff.Not_Just_Another

What exactly are you people hoping for? In a perfect world what could QBN do for you?

Has it really died?
It's true that there are a lot more shit threads of recent, I'm guilty of adding a few to that, but of the 24 threads on the right at the moment, at least 13 are directly linked to the industry.

One would think that with the world in the economic gutter, professionalism would be on the rise as people dig in and work harder to preserve their careers; but what I see instead is paranoia, cynicism, self-pity, and apathy in spades.
- The world is picking itself up out of the gutter now Gramme. Its going to be great next year.Horp
- Apathy is the american dream, baby!baseline_shift
- agree, I think it is getting better. But I'm not sure if it's because of stronger work ethics or not.gramme
- —I could be wrong though.gramme
- commercialism / consumerism leads people to want more for less... a work ethic is difficult to maintain.lukus_W

"maybe the moderators should switch into nazi mode?"
I do think that's one feature that's missing from this sumemr on QBN. We haven't had the almighty apocalyptic mass banzoring fortnight of madness this year. I actually quite enjoy that even though I am invariably one of the people who gets the chop.
Its essential to keep the blood from congealing. In prison they sanction occasional riots to allow people to vent their spleens, otherwise it gets very morose indeed.
Come on QBN. Kick start a riot.
- yes, although it scares me.. I think this would be for the best.lukus_W
