Is it? And this isn't an attack on the topic starter. But I'm trying to understand the actual need for a topic where the answers are fairly obvious... There is something that made IB special, and that spark is gone. Instead of reviving that spark, I've noticed that key members who played a vital role in shaping this forum are gone instead, which honestly just basically stamped out any chance of revival. Perhaps the forum is intending to go in a totally different direction though, in which case, any legitimate suggestions are useless.
That said, what is the purpose people are joining IB? What is motivating them? What is the attraction? Is it to learn about Islam? Is it better themselves? Is it get closer to Allah by having some connection with fellow Muslims? Or is it for jokes and having fun and whatever else? And I'm not against chilling out. I'm just genuinely curious what the
members actually, truly want. Maybe if we figure what they want, it would be better to work from there.
