Forums live and feed on a buzzing and hubbing main site that attracts visitors and "lures" them into the forums. Most of a site's forum-members initially came to read a tutorial or news from the buisness, use it as a rescource for models, textures, etc.
3DG unfortunately has no such buzzing website, in fact it has no such thing, i daresay. After the "big split" (what a nice term
) it was forgotten or disregarded to establish an attractive website. A half-hearted attempt was launched much later and stuck in the first steps.
