Title: WTF guys, forum dead?
Post by: Adi on Jan 16, 2013, 05:57: AM
I was out because of surgery, and I definitely didn't expect activity to tank as soon as I leave.  I left on the 10th for a few days since I was under a lot of pain and the post numbers went from 50+ a day to 5-15.

Really disappointing.  I will try to post as much as I can but I can't be the person responsible for 75% of new posts and topics.

Others have to start new threads if they want to see the site active.  I'm doing all I can but this needs to be a collective push from more than just me, the mods, and a few key members.

I'm getting bored talking to myself.

I think that is a very good forum. Although I'm not quite with you a long time, I noticed that there are a very nice person and wisely writing.
It's a pity that so few people give up here. Maybe we need something more to get people?

Zarzi, we need more new members like you.

I think I will start a competition where members refer their friends.  Whoever refers the most new members will win a Matchball or something.

This is a great idea. I was just thinking about something like that. We just have to organize a competition or anything like that.
Such activities attract new people and I hope that this forum will soon return to the 'fullness of life'.

It's a progress, but it's a pity that all the time give to the same person. We need to encourage old and new members to be active.

The thing is, it doesn't matter who it is, but people need to be active to make a forum work. If there are new posts and topics, people will eventually gain interest. Use some of the threads I've started as an example. There are a few posts even from people that rarely ever post on here. They saw something that actually caught their interest, so they posted. That's what we have to do. Don't be afraid to post something that no one cares about, because you don't know if no one cares about it. I really never expected the Epic Mustache Thread to be a success, but it has.

Yes, people need to realize they need to start NEW THREADS, not just make posts.  START TOPICS PEOPLE!

Another thing, we need to start more topics in the Freestyle Chat board.  Most people go there so that board needs to appear active.

Of course. Also, I would like to see more topics about freestyle. It will definitely be more interest. After all, our main passion.  :)
