Was a year ago I updated from XF1 to XF2 and gave everything a fresh lick of paint!
Thought it was time to see what could benefit the site so made a few adjustments.
1) After much research, added a shoutbox. I was cautious it might take away activity for the forum, but the members see it as a quick way of working together and it's been a huge success.
2) I installed the Private Threads add-on in 2017 which was very popular. Had over 100K posts in that section, with some Private Threads having in excess of 5K in themselves. Yesterday it was replaced by Social Groups, to make it easier and so far that has been a great success.
The easier I can make it for groups of people to stay on my site and discuss game tactics and plans, the less will move to places like Discord. So far seems to be working!
Latest Tally is:

Looking forward to the next big milestone of 500,000 posts!
