I'm probably in the minority of those who actually don't mind that things aren't so busy 'round these parts. Quite honestly, most of what's being posted on certain other busier forums is pretty much crap.
Personally, if I had to pick a forum to stick with, it would definitely be this one. This forum has what I believe to be an excellent selection of people running it, and that keeps things from going out of control unlike what happens constantly over at other forums (like the Guild, for example). In this case, I'd choose Order over Chaos any day.
One thing that I've noticed a lot: Here at RS, the members seem to put more effort in their projects. On other forums, most of the newer creators (not all of them, but a pretty good chunk of them) not only create things that don't seem all that interesting to begin with, but they clearly don't put anywhere near as much effort into it.
When people here release something, the majority of the time, you can tell just by checking it out for a few short moments that they made a reasonable effort and they should be proud of their work. I can't help but wonder how some people at these other forums can be proud of their stuff at all. In most cases, it's like taking a shit, turning around, and saying:
Wannabe Creator - "Mommy look! I did it all by myself!"
Mom - "YOU'RE NOT 3 YEARS OLD ANYMORE! GET A JOB AND GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE ALREADY!"
I mean, seriously...
