Live Events Discussion forum neglected

While I've been playing EVE for a while, I only recently joined the Role-Playing crew. I heard of Arek'jaalan, read the in-game news, looked up interesting characters, etc.
I then found the Intergalactic Summit and the Live Events Discussion forums. Intergalactic Summit is fine, if a bit stale, as there's too much delay between each new interesting piece of information for us to discuss.

The real problem right now is the Live Events forum. Whenever we try to interact more with the lore, we are supposed to discuss it there, maybe get in contact with some special NPC from a faction via EVE-Mail, etc. There's a sticky where we're supposed to declare our loyalties, another that lists NPC contacts. Neither of them are kept up to date.
Among the many threads in the first page, only a few (about 3) have dev replies within the year of 2014 (!), none of the Sticky threads have any contact from a dev in 2014 either. CCP Falcon seems to be the only dev who ever looked at the forum in the last two years.
Really, if we want to shape the game's universe (as advertised), we need more feedback on our actions, more points of contact with the universe, and this lore-side contact is very interesting and powerful. So please, talk to CCP, or even take it onto your hands if it is in the CSM's power to do so. The RPers might not be ~leet pvp hardcore gamerz~ but they are as much a part of the playerbase as any others, we want some love too.
This TON of (wonderful) lore that CCP has been dangling right in front of our noses is useless if we can't interact with it.
