I agree with both Ed and Kfir. To be honest it's a lot of pressure to put on some students. Hearing some people say "I promise I'll be better about being more active" sounds kind of like pressure, when Kfir and others have made points that they don't feel inspired to be active.It's definitely a catch 22. But I'm going to play devil's advocate boldly: the students DID vibe. We all made huge efforts NATURALLY because we LOVED it. But Kfir made a great analogy. If at some point no one's buying the product the company eventually has to look at what it's doing.Ed is right that contests take a lot of work. But we never had contests originally and we still took off flying. The fact that we have to issues contests to up the activity and the vibe feels like bribery.I honestly just thought of it: I don't think the rebranding is what truly affected the site. I started issuing contests many years ago trying to up the engagement a little and inspire people.Don't forget we all should let Radu and the team know we want to see or what changes you'd like to see made. We've voiced our frustrations but don't forget to leave a note about what you'd like to see improve
