That was the point I made some time ago. But try telling that to the boss; I was blanked the last time. If we're near capacity now, what's the point of having a messageboard? Might as well open a Facebook account, and save a pile of cash. If we're not near capacity, then why not try to change something to increase post rates? One of the key purposes of a messageboard is interaction with other people.
Even the moderators can't be bothered doing their job properly: cases in point, spammer in the Earth Girl Arjuna forum who has existed for over 2 months and has posted 3 times; a spam thread in General and Other Anime which has been up for about 9hrs, despite 15 moderators (though most of them are nominal - but still listed for some warped reason).
This all smacks of shoddiness. There's about 5 regular posters, some old members who come and say "blah blah blah don't have time to post anymore but here's an update on my life, ah those were the days" or come and just don't bother making the effort to post and some new members who post a couple of posts and leave. I think you're going to have to wake up and smell the coffee if you think this warrants a messageboard of the size of AB, or would encourage anyone to be part of the community aside from a sense of attachment due to nostalgia.

I find myself reading through old posts to make up for the lack of new ones. But there's so long one can live in the past.
EDIT: More examples of shoddiness: In the main page, in the "Hosting Domains" and "Promotion" forums, it shows that the latest posts are by SadisticX, but when you click on either of the links, they are invalid. If you click and enter the "Hosting Domains" forum, there is a post by goodfirefox which is about "Moved: free adult host and sex pic upload" - it's been deleted, but there's still a link to a "deleted thread" page for no good reason. JESUS CHRIST, SORT IT OUT.
