@ES, do shit
This is the events board.
There are no active events. Anyone else remember the days when there were at least 3 current ES events running at once? The suggestion is simple, "start doing shit".
ES, pull your socks up. Events inspire activity (=more active playerbase), so start producing more events..

Point 3: We have lives. (A repeat, but one that should never be forgotten)
Point 4: Users are free to do their own too.
Point 5: We have Christmas ones for Christmas. Pushing out events that will take up time and resources is a silly thing to do.
Point 6: We have bigger, non-Christmas events on the list that also take our time.
We felt that it was better to do higher quality events more often than recycled garbage. If the community prefers we perfect a good solid amount( i.e. not garbage) and recycled them, then let us know by discussing it like the suggestion board requires in an actual thread that's geared toward that from the start. This reads like a complaint shoved in the S&I board for the sake of stirring the pot.
Point 7: You wanna try sending out 120+ items in a MEGA CLUNKY sending system ONE AT A TIME while juggling uni+social life+holidays+family? (Plus other stuff)
Let one of us know lol, so we can forward your application to admin to those above us.
Tldr November is always quieter than the rest of the year, and for good reason. If you want quantity over quality, say so. Easy fix.

If you don't want to do shit, don't volunteer in the first place.

My OP contains the statement that ES activity is shit, and there needs to be more activity. It also contains Icky's response - A list of reasons why it's currently shit. Now, we're all having a discussion based on those reasons, and we're all positing different ideas of how to solve this problem, or even if there is a problem to be solved.
This suggestion thread is working exactly as it should be working. This is clear. Don't try to stop discussion and progress by having it closed after it's already been reopened and is running fine. How unconstructive is that!
Well, I currently am going thru high school hell. So I'm currently dead. I got college apps, financial aid apps n shit, SCHOOL REQUIREMENTS to graduate and have activities and shit, my finals are next week. The past couple months have been hell for me. Of course I can use forums because you know, my cellular device! But trying to get in-game while trying to manage having 5 classes, one of them being AP, while also trying to get accepted into some decent schools is pretty difficult. Everyone is different, I can understand an A student who's "that dude" and can get shit done but i'm not, I need to focus during these times.

Also. $1000 abd tourney can be done. But you'd need a LOT more tc to hit that mark like last time. Maybe I'll set one up if it's shown to be something the community wants.
So you're telling me just as many people want bracket events as they do random parkour maps?
Take a look at the stats, all those random events have barely anyone enter, but events that include a bracket and decent prizes have basically the whole community enter.
I believe more people would prefer a bracket / victory counting event in well established mods such as ABD, Lenshu, Rk-mma, Boxshu, Judofrac, Judo?, ErthTK, TK?, over a parkour / free running map event, with decent prizes of course.
Oh look all those xmas events we had prepared are suddenly up
