What do you think standard users can do to help the site in general or to increase the activity?

 

The big thing is just to be active yourselves. Start threads, comment on other topics, share your screenshots and videos, answer polls, participate in games in Offbeat, drop an invite if ever you're heading into matchmaking or custom games and want to set up a lobby or a fireteam with other members. I'm caught between being a full-time MA student and spending most of my weekends working to keep the lights on, but if do happen to be free I'll always be happy to come and join.

 

Really, it's a self-reinforcing feedback loop. If we have stuff going on, there's more reasons for people to join and stay: if we don't, there's less.

What are the plans and goals of the YouTube channel?

 

Long-term, we want to fill it with both member gameplay submissions and highlights, footage from any tournaments and Community Events that we host, and more general 'Let's Play'-style content from the staff. Right now, the latter of these is being filled by our XCom 2 series, in which I'm playing through the game using Spartans submitted by members of the forum, and while I'm not sure what the next big 'series' will be (this is the first time we've done anything like it), since we've generally had a positive reaction to this one it's the kind of thing we'd like to do more of. We're also hoping to put some standalone videos on, as getting together to record one session is much easier to schedule than trying to get people together at regular times every week, since we're spread over multiple time zones and all have diverse and often-changing schedules.

 

Beyond that, we'd perhaps like to look into bringing back the podcast, though that again suffers from the aforementioned scheduling issues, and even potentially start doing some short news videos, since people seem to enjoy getting their news in video format.
