It's really not. I'd say the forum could do better with a few new users but even then they eventually disappear because
- It really doesn't have anything to offer to keep them staying active.
- The current users that have been there forever keep chasing them away
Thread life in EDF usually goes like this:
- Someone will make a new thread
- shitposting commences from the usual suspects
- Quence (I believe that was the name of one of the users there), who is known to be a flaming homosexual, will say something contrarian/dumb/gay
- Everyone dogpiles on Quence
Repeat ad-nauseum. The time I spent there while the farms was down for the long period of time because of the whole LFJ/Keffels fiasco, I was either posting once/twice a day, making new site banners, or contributing toward the wiki itself. Otherwise it wasn't as "content rich" as KF to where there was a bajillion active topics to take part in and read.
It also doesn't help that the site will go down for days with no warning
