Let's not kick stones or punch shadows. RblxTrade has well and truly defeated apathy. Its inactivity we continue to battle.


RTR between May 2023 and August 2024 was nothing short of pathetic. Why? Because nobody cared. Nobody cared to get off midcord. Nobody wanted to hear the phrase 'Revive RTR.' Nobody cared about the soul and culture we'd spent years forging.


The same can not be said about RT in the present day. Why? Because everyone's playing their part. Everyone's off the group chats. Everyone's working hard to reinstate the soul we've had for years and forge a new culture that remains true to what we've thrived off for years.


We aren't far away. We've come so far. We've done the hard work. We've defeated the apathy that plagued RTR. We are fighting the inactivity that battle's RT today. The site's been built. The culture is unbreakable. The soul's always been there. We are at the final hurdle. Two years after this community was taken control of by someone who cared for what the forums have always stood for, we're at the stage where its merely about tying it all together before we're thriving once again.


RT Sermons aren't pathetic!

Everyone's playing their part in every respect except for bringing activity back, We're posting enough, but we're doing absolutely nothing to even attempt bringing new users onto the site. If we did that, We'd get at least a few new members, Activity wouldn't be contained to relatively small bursts, It wouldn't just be the three of us.


I do agree that RT in 2026 is in a far better state than RTR was from June 2023 to August 2024, I believe you misunderstood what I said in my anniversary thread; I compared the current state of RT to the end of 2024, It was just the two of us and TEM, But the forums had just come back and we were recruiting forumers new and old to come onto the site, It worked, Karl, LittleOldMe, Overseer, FredBoy, Jimmie, Murdekaiser, JoeyFan, J_Lukasval, Doedz, Helmut, even The Big L himself were active at a time. Early 2025 was the closest we had ever been to recapturing the original community in it's numbers, Now is the closest we've ever been in the software/fabric which makes the forums.


The site as it stands today gets several users per day, But very few of them ever post, and when they do they only post once, Likely due to this site's similarity to D0XT's RblxTrade which was built upon trading, not the forums. I've tried to mitigate this with the announcements at the top of the site, But it seems I am not being listened to. I find it crazy that a site can have a membership of over 400 yet an active usersbase of three.


In all other respects, Our future looks bright and I don't have any fear that our community will collapse or slip back into the depths of the Solstics Sag Era. RblxTrade is truly back in full force, all except for the amount of people using the site and activity (to an extent). I believe promotion will be what saves the forums.
