I speak Maori on a mostly fluent basis. (I can hold conversations in the language but I eventually run out of things to talk about and words to use.)

I write for the enjoyment of it. It is a way for me to let my creative juices flow, to share stories with my internet friends, to get things off my chest. Writing is an outlet for me. I love it.

It seems to me that it is harder to keep members on this site. It is all well and good to make a profile but sticking around seems to be harder than gaining members. I know a lot of people from the other side who have an account on this side and have not visited SS in months. As people have said before me, part of that would be the traffic for stories/poems. Views on this site don't seem to be as high as other fiction, poetry, stories etc. websites. With views not being as high there would not be that incentive to write for this site.
Everyone likes a fun competition so maybe advertising more competitions on this side? Or perhaps more incentives for people to earn badges? A little competition and bringing out the competitive nature in people could help.
More categories for people to submit stories? More forum topics? (That one is easily remedied by people creating new topics all the time, but it comes back to the traffic and views issue on this site. Why create a forum thread when a.) the same people would see it over and over again and b.) there would be little promise of multiple pages and traffic to the thread.) This is just my silly opinion anyway but I do agree with what people have said before me.
