Forum:Abandon Ship!: The New User Conundrum

We have a problem. It's subtle, but it's there. I've talked to some admins who agree with me on this, and have heard this alluded too a lot recently.. Recently, we've been getting new users, but almost all of them leave immediatley. At the same time, we have been losing users to inactivity, and we've reached a point where we have about 15 users who consistently log on. So here's my question: how do we keep new users? Personally, I think some users aren't as entertained with editing pages, and are looking for more to do on the site. There are a lot of ways we could think of to keep more new users, and we should use this page to brainstorm. One idea would be to think of more "fun," for lack of a better word, things to do, like Antaeus Arena. Maybe I'm looking too much into this, but if not, I think we should consider some ideas, even if we don't end up using them.
