When I took over as mod, I thought it would be a good idea to have a review of the community to get some feedback and - most importantly - how we could inject some life back into it.

It has been some time since there was a last review of the community, and as I'm now Head Mod, I thought it would be a good way for me to get some idea of how you all feel about the community.
