My blades will find your heart
I mean I can't speak for anyone else but I would mainly focus on the character forums, this seemed to be more of like a side thing.You're helping to ensure a self-fulfilling prophecy. Of course character forums will die if nobody deigns to post in them, since they're having private discussions instead. If you have nobody trying to contribute real information or focus on a topic, you're going to get threads that devolve into troll posting and comedy.
I don't agree with this ethos, and I think anyone who's expressed interest in participating should think very hard about that. This is a bad way to build community.
There is also the problem that character forums tend to do that stupid "____ Matchup Discussion" thread that ends up 50 pages long with no real useful information.
