I agree with your first sentiment; it's been the same scheme for the pat 5+ years, sans temporary changes befitting rare events and moments of IC-OOC joint celebrations. It might not be the reason traffic is so low, but I do think it'll be refreshing and give users a newer mindset when it comes to coming and going.

I agree smaller scale wikia-wide events would work. While it's moreso AI territory, meaning there would be some back-and-forth required before I could draft up an appropriate response to your ideas, I do think some of them are really doable, even if it's user-led with administrative approval. It's sweet and simple, easy to manage, and it might capture some attention. I'm especially excited by some of your suggestions, like volunteeing and hosting movie nights, since that isn't something we've seen a lot of in the IC world, especially as of lately. When it comes to holiday-centric stuff, I agree! Nothing's better than being able to celebrate holidays like Christmas here to satisfy our Christmas cravings. So... like I said, we'd have to talk with AI, but you understood the purpose of the blog, which was to begin conversations regarding how we can breathe some life back into DARP, so thank you for those ideas! I appreciate it. :)
