Hi everyone!

Today, I wanted to write about a question that we're ALL wondering about...

How do we make this community more active?

---What I think of 3DSPaint---

I'm new here, and I LOVE this website already. The people here are so kind, there's so many cool features, and, best of all, it's 3DS compatible! If I'd known about this website before, I would've signed up INSTANTLY. I just think it's so amazing that I can access all of these great features straight from my 3DS!

------

However, the website feels so (no offense) lifeless... The chatrooms are nearly always empty, and when there IS people in them, they'll just stay there for a minute before leaving. I'm actually ready to bet that me and my three friends from my 3DS Friend List (Crystal, CoryDory, aeries) are the people who've spoken the most on there IN YEARS. (Proof: We talk on there every single day, throughout different times of the day. Sometimes we spend HOURS on there.)

I'm 100% sure that the website was never this dead before, and there must've been some kind of point where there was tons of active users. So anyway, I thought of a potential way to make this community feel more alive, and give people something to look forward to daily.

---Chatrooms---

One thing I thought about is having people meet in a specific chatroom, at a specific time, on a specific day. That way, people could look forward to meeting their friends on there, and just talking to new people and even making new friends! (I'm genuinely sorry if that sounds cringe, I know I sound like a mom trying to get her kids to make new friends ;- For example, it could be at the Mario Chatroom, every Saturday at 6PM GMT (or any time that's accessible to anyone in any timezone).

Now, obviously, not everyone is available everyday, and even if they are, people have all sorts of stuff that busy them, like work and school.

I know what you're thinking. How can some new kid just come on here and start ordering everyone around. Here's the thing: You're not forced to come everytime. It's completely up to you, whether you'd like to come or not!

---Groups---

Another cool thing I thought about is creating one, big group for EVERYONE who's currently active to join. Obviously, you wouldn't have to leave your old groups behind, as you're not being forced to join it. I just thought it'd be cool if everyone had this 'go-to' group, that's actually popular. I know there's plenty of popular groups already, but hopefully this one (if I ever get around to creating it) ends up becoming one of them!

If you guys would like to discuss about whether any of these ideas are good or not, feel free to do it in the comments! (And please tell me if I've gone too far with these ideas).

Thanks a lot for reading this! And I hope I didn't make any mistakes!
