You start communicating not with all the people at once but with someone in particular, privately. And then all you need is to experience some event with all of the people. Thus you will be at the party. You will feel that you are a part of the community. Then you will no more need the activity on the forum, and checking "Unread posts" will be quite enough.
Sorry for mess that I wrote. Hope I can help.

Completely understood. That's the thing, I feel like I've missed the one major event that would help me do that better (Remix War). ;P

Just wait... next pony song will cause this place to 'splode.

Thing is I won't be here next spring. I'm leaving for two years starting January. And the only "official" pony song I've written/remixed was Fluttershy's lullaby.

I'm as upset as you that there are so many topics that don't even have a reply yet, or very few. I find myself sometimes being the only one who responds to some threads. Most of my own threads have maybe 1 reply from someone.
But at the same time you got to understand, this is a pretty small community.
Come this Sunday, when Jackle has some time, we're going to start a new discussion about changes we're going to make on the forum, new things we're going to implement, and if needed a concise new set of rules, just so everyone's clear on them.
And about the remix war.... I see what you're hinting at. (:

PS: Oaks is coming to my stake for stake conference this Sunday, and I'm in the choir.

And as far as chats go, maybe we could consider embedding IRC into the forum, that's fairly common now-a-days. So you can see chat just by visiting the forum.

y u participate.
I don't think that a remix war is obligatory to participate in each and every round, you could just skip if you don't want to.
