This Place is Boring

I also doubt that many here have english as their first language so they can't really understand what's going on in many of the topics.

^    bang on target ... one of the MAIN reasons why freestylers don't post anywhere else that frequently as in comparison to the general chat section...

Royal, you were here in the old days. You remember how it was. Why were there so many people back than that posted everywhere? It's not just that. The majority of the English speakers are not posting outside of the freestyle section anymore as well. I think Adi is right. Too many young kids whom genuinely are not interested in other topics besides the freestyle topics.

I think more ppl on here care about fs because fs became bigger and more competitive.
This forum is the best out there for freestyle so obviously many come here to learn and share about freestyle. That's their first intention.

Nothing wrong with that.  We all join forums for their main purpose.  In this case, freestyle but that doesn't mean you can't post in General Chat, Soccer, or somewhere else.  That's all we're saying.  If people post 75% in freestyle and 25% in other areas, we'd have some good activity all around the forum.

General Chat and Soccer forums are a bit up right now which is good but we need even more members there.

hmmm I didn't take it personally. But now i'm thinking the comment was partly for me

I still don't agree, but i know this must be expected on the internet, so whatever.

I actually think you know quite a bit about footy.  You seem to follow it quite a bit but some of your opinions are not always right.  It's OK though because we all have preferences, etc.  I like your posts though.  Keep posting in all forums... good stuff.

The whole point of it is that this is a forum. In my first post on this page,  I mentioned that the only reason I'm a part of this page is that I like freestyle. Now, is that all I want to talk about on here? No. It would be much more interesting if we could talk about other things as well.

We all know that we have freestyle in common. That makes conversing about only freestyle boring after a while. One of the things I have really enjoyed about interaction with  freestylers is finding freestylers that share other hobbies with me like music, movies, other sports, etc.  It just makes it that much more interesting.

You could start by being an example  and post in other topics a bit more yourself. You used to post alot on those forums. Also, Hot Babes Thread anyone. Either Adi and I are the only straight guys on this page since we are the only ones that post there, or half the site doesn't even know it exist. I fuckin hope most of the freestyle kids like girls, but you never know. Royal used to post some good shit on there.

Everyone should check out all the unread posts in all boards outside of the Freestyle sections.  It's really only the Soccer forum and General Chat.  If you don't like footy, post in General Chat.  At least give it a read to see what's going on.

This is what I am noticing. The 2 most popular parts of the forum are the video section and the competition section. This  means the majority of the users on here are only posting about videos and competitions. Well, here's the problem with that. They are probably the 2 most boring sections of the forum in general. I don't really use the competition section at all, because I don't care about competing in any of them, so talk about it would obviously be boring to me. We all love the video section, but as far as the forum goes, that's not the section where the best discussion can be made. It's just videos and more or less compliments and criticisms. There isn't much debate or real discussion going on.

If we only want to talk about freestyle, than lets make some good freestyle chat topics too guys. We have to utilize this place as a forum to make it work, not just a place to post videos or compete in online competitions. If there aren't improvements, members that do want to use the forum will eventually think it's not worth their while and quit posting. Furthermore, eventually Adi might not find it worth his while to run this site.

I'm doing my part by posting this and other topics. Come on guys. All I'm asking is to post on at least 1 topic outside the video and competition forums to keep it more interesting. If all those guys just contributed one post  outside those forums for every post they make in them, the place would improve alot.
