I like this place and it's not that dead
It has the issue that a lot of sites have that it isn't connected to a true moving culture to give it an external invigoration
it's not like tied to sports or anime or something like that, so the main impetus to stir posting (that can then spill off into the high value offtopic and tangential posting) is usually drama
like the anal masturbation threads are good
the cooking threads are good
drug threads can be good though they're less my field so I'm an outsider there
even the tamers threads are good
faggotry threads really really depend on whether there's a good joke of some kind in the OP or one of the early posts but you can just make more of them generally
