So, what's your ideal view of the site?
Basically, my ideal view is a core of around twenty active members (active meaning posting more than once/twice a day), ten of which being very active (ten plus posts a day). Ideally, we'd have about a dozen to twenty people that were moderately inactive/fringers that tended to post once a day to once a week, adding unique flavor and perspective while avoiding causing much clutter or drama. There'd need to be a fringe of another dozen or so Comets. You know, sweeps through the Exodus every few months or so, does a spree, and then vanishes (Hayato, Asmo, Gil, the Charms crew) They keep things fresh.
As for posts? There should be about forty to a hundred posts a day, ideally with no more than half an hour between a fresh "Newest Post". About ten to twenty five of those should be IC RP posts, and another ten to thirty being discussion, with the rest padded out as games and spammy responses.
Ideally, we'd have major events (Mafia, Posting Races, Writing Contests, House Warfare) on a bimonthly or so schedule, with the Lugiasian awards dominating the last two months of the year.
Oh, and two other things that stand out in my mind: Webcomic would be updated biweekly. The Website and Archipedia would both receive significant contributions/articles at least once a week, not Never, and Once a month or so, respectively.
Oh yeah! And Houses would be more active/have bigger memberships. Like six to ten people each. That'd be sooo nice.

I dunno. More activity would be swell but you might get less quality with that.

I'm down for just more activity, really.

Really, more posts in the RP is the biggest thing. If it got more than five posts a night, it's active enough to support writing. This recent drought has been a self-feeding problem, really. And I know I'm almost as much to blame as the people with fewer RPs that just don't respond period.
Right now, I'm off to take a shower, but I'm looking at Triannual, Whispers, and finishing (at least Achenes' portion) of Beyond the Bullet. My goal is three IC RP posts a night, plus Fallfish and any active APCARP topics.

I'd say the whole half an hour thing is a bit awkward as people are from all different time zones and such, I regularly log on early morning to check what you yanks have posted the previous night...
Ideally... I'd like to see random mafia's going on about every 3 months or so, the more variety the better... Oh and better quality posts from some members...

Actually, you'd be surprised at how even our coverage is, bar the later afternoon for my timezone. East coast people cover the site from around 8 PM to two AM or so, then Bub@ and Boom take over, and then you, El, and Photu cover mornings.
And Photu and I are working on more regularized events. Not always Mafia, but we're trying to make it so nobody has to wait more than a month for something special outside of RP to happen.
