Some people think that (Crew) aren’t very active in the Forums. At first i thought they weren’t very active myself, but then one of the crew members Powdersnow replied me with a fantastic explanation here is what he said :
it takes a whole lot of time to answer posts, but very little time to read it. I personally try to be quite active in the forums and I see many crew members are too. The reason we don’t answer posts in the feature request forum is partly that it would demand some pretty steep resources to do that, but partly also because we do not want to get too involved in the users opinions: if we, as crew, start telling users what we think is a good idea and what isn’t, then that would have a negative impact in that people would start telling us “what we want to hear” in stead of what they actually want!
It must be said though, that we can’t read the feature request forum on a daily basis, there is too much information in there for that. What we do instead is this: when we do our planning for the future (perhaps twice each year) we flick through the feature request forums to get a grip of what the users seem to want. I find this a much more efficient solution for us, and one that can actually yield some results.
Roughly two months ago now, I took myself a trip to the feature request forum and spent half a day trying to figure out what people requested the most. I came up with this list, which I distilled and discussed with my superiors (just to reassure you that we DO read the forums):
