Integrating a file share server & forum/social media type site is difficult task. They have different purposes and structures.
I definitely think Pimp is on the right track, and adding DM & an “about” page was a much needed upgrade. Well done.
Unfortunately, the nature of the world at the moment, many are apprehensive to interact in a public forum and have moved to encrypted “private channels” based apps.
Moving forward ‘public’ accessible sites/forums will need to figure out how to make users feel that they are safe to interact & share content (within reason) freely. The perception that the internet is some sort of anonymous Wild Wild West is long gone.
