I’m not asking to be snarky or anything… I’m subbed to plenty of magazines that I enjoy reading.

It’s just that the front page has the “random magazines” section, and the top bar is full of a seemingly random list of unrelated magazines… and 99% of what shows up in these two places is just empty. They seem like magazines that were made as placeholders and have been sitting empty for 6 months.

These two spots seem like prime real estate that should be filled with useful subs; or at least that magazines under a certain threshold ought to be filtered out of these locations to keep them relevant.

Or am I missing something?

    The main problem is actually with users like you

    Really, you meant no offense by that?

    Jesus Christ man. I am active in the magazines that I’ve subscribed to. I post. I comment. I read. How the fuck is this my fault?

    In fact, looking at your profile, I comment more than you. So don’t blame me just because I asked the question when you actually have no idea what my situation is.

      Well I really didn’t look at your profile much so I am sorry if you feel personally attacked, that was not my intention.

      My point is, if we all posted rather than saying “it feels empty” (not saying it just for you, saying for everyone in general here), then it would not feel so empty, as I mod some big communities here and I know for the fact that there are MANY lurkers who barely contribute, which is why it feels empty, but it’s good to see you being active.

      If it feels empty, then we need to take action and be the change we want to see. That is what I mean’t and not targeting any individuals here, just saying in general.

      No need to involve jesus christ, chill out :)

        I’m sorry if I read your post the wrong way. Internet tone, and all that.

        I agree with you that we need to be the change we want to see. My original post wasn’t meant to be a complaint that it’s so empty here, as in all of kbin. I was just curious about the empty subs that seem to be getting featured for some reason or another.

          No worries! It was a misunderstanding and that happens :)

          And I agree with you as for the empty feeling, but with organic growth and encourging more people to contribute, hopefully content increases in kbin.
