It seems to be somewhat dead around here. Yeah, there are recent posts, some even today. But I don't see much in recent assignments. I thought they were weekly (e.g. posted Monday).
What I am seeing suggests to me that the forum software might be making it harder. So I'll just make a newbie suggestion that might make things work better.
The assignment of the week should be posted as a new thread with a title giving the full date in the title like "Assignment for 2009-12-14 - whatever theme". Then this thread needs to be made into a sticky for the week, and the previous one UNstuck. Does an administrator need to do the sticky/unsticky settings? Use the ISO date format (year-month-date) because it avoids the confusion of other date formats.
This way the active assignment clearly stays up there regardless of how much activity exists on past assignments. Add the rule NOT to make titles of other threads look like an assignment title.
