What are everyone's thoughts towards my approach of conducting a final raffle?
I am pretty much excited with your approach of conducting a final raffle. I used to wait for it in the past. Yes, I agree a lot of members have shifted to Telegram & Reddit but those who are here need to be active from time to time. I do not think that we do not have anything or any news to discuss on this board. A little bit of encouragement by senior members and Merit sources can again bring back members here.
Conducting raffle again for the one final time is a good idea to bring more exposure in short time, but the growth will not be that much effective because after the raffle everything will be back to same as of now, so building the discussions organically will be more effective and as you said sharing merits will become the real encouragement for users to post.
We may not have anything to discuss from India, but we can discuss what is happening around the world so in case of new member joins he may get to know about everything.
