I think apart from Article section nothing else was stopped from my knowledge. Forums have become more active & frequent now.
It is a good idea that you gave about article writing.
Polls, Quizzes, Crosswords and Quotes also seem to be obsolete. I have not seen anything new on them for a long time.
Forums used to be more active earlier with more members actively participating and there were new threads every day. The activities have definitely dropped.
True, Forum posts of new topics have dropped, but I felt that more people are interacting in a discussion now or may be its just my opinion.
Indeed Polls, Quizzes, Crosswords & Quotes have become obsolete. I think Polls & Quizzes need to be promoted on home page of the site as a New or Special with colored lighting. They add more vibrance to the site if used properly.
Each day a best Quote can be selected & next day it can be posted on home page with link to create new Quotes, in this way it can be promoted & also an award can be awarded on daily or weekly basis. Best Quote of Week or Most liked Quote of week.
Polls can also be promoted as it is an interesting activity. It can probably come as a pop up to encourage people to take it up!
Quizzes & Crosswords can be removed I think as it is hard to create them & it seems people do not have that much amount of patience to create quality Quizzes or Crosswords. I have created only 1 Quiz till now. I haven't created a Crossword yet!
