Reviving the forums takes some stages first.
stage 1: get people to log in on a regular basis
stage 2: get people to actually post or reply to shit on a regular basis
stage 3: make stupid topics, I don't care what, it can be dikcbuttpooplolxdxd for the hell I care. (including the typos)
stage 4: continue posting dumb shit or even helpful shit. maybe tutorials or even fun topics. (why is the world governments so shit, idk)
stage 5: final stage, keep the forum community active. thanks.
First step to a downfall of a community is lack of forum communication, next is lack of server communications, lastly is lack of community communcation.
Actual final stage: Keep it fun, folks.
