Are you one of our members who just comes here to watch a video then you leave?
:bravo_2:
Why? Post something and contribute to the community.

I think that desperation for ppl to post is not the best thing.
I really see the site die out over time.
PPl subscribe and are friends on youtube and facebook, and if theres anything theyll just probably get in touch by chatting there.
The same by watching videos.
Also i think that most ppl are lazy or just dont have the time or effort to hang around here as much as before.
Ppl grow up and got things to do and hanging around beyond is probably not the main activety of the day.
The site doesnt really offer anything youtube or facebook can provide, so my tip for getting more ppl to post regulary is to create that xtra something that would make ppl choose this site infront of other sites.... Dunno how you gonna do it though, but it will be a though job.

Fair points for the most part. I do disagree with the time argument however. There is always a new generation that has time. 12-16 year olds have time. I understand that older members eventually have to worry about real life and run out of free time, but younger members always come around and replace those.
I think the problem is we are not replacing the older members with new ones.
We are also running out of things to talk about and people are not posting good content. Forums are always around. Search Google and you'll see tons of big forums because there is a need for them. You can't go into proper discussions on Facebook and definitely not Youtube so I think we still serve a purpose.
But yes, some good points. I want to do something different with the front page which should drive new users here.
I want to make beyondfootball.com the center for online freestyle competitions.

We just need interesting topics from interesting members. The more quality talking points the better the forum will be. We need people to be willing to make some bold statements to cause interest in commenting. That even means somewhat controversial topics.

I dont wanna be negative in anyway this is just a drive by site.
You say new members will com and for dure they will, but lets be honest kids will always be kids, and the quality therafter.
They will grow and become better and eventually run out of time to hang around here anymore and so goes the circle..
Would love for you to prove me wrong though.

maybe if the site wasnt down half the time the people would still be here, its also facebook, we need to bring back some superstars like JPA. leha, oli, dan.

Yes, we did have some issues with the site being up.
I think it's been pretty solid for half a year now, however. I don't think we've had any real issues. Right?
