Regarding Activity

Discussion in 'Archive' started by Reonarudo Butsuchiru, Apr 19, 2010.

  1. For all those who are familiar with the recent events we all know that since then activity on the forums went down. However, as time passed, activity has gone down even further in the last few months. I've been wandering the boards during my time of being banned from the site for Irrelevant Posts so I decided that I need to make up for what I did and to keep these forums alive because I truly love this place and would hate to see it die in the coming days, months, or years.

    I've seen forums die before because I've been apart of a forum that had the same problem. It wasn't a particularly pretty site.

    Now I do understand that people here are growing up and getting caught up with their jobs and whatnot but I would like to make a few suggestions to those who are able to post when they have the time. Whether or not you agree with me is your opinion, I'm just trying to help a place that I've come to like very much.


    • Logging in is a good place to start. It gets you motivated to post.
    • Subscribe to threads by editing your options or by simply going to the Thread Tools tab and click Subscribe to thread.
    • Hit up the new posts in the New Posts tab above under our awesome banner.
    • Go to Today's Posts to get a better view of what happened while you were gone.
    • Send Visitor Messages, Private Messages, etc. and make contact and interact with other users outside of posts.
    • Create new threads instead of having old threads have necroposts in them.
    • Try out the Debates...they're always fun to do and it gives you something to do.
    • Go to our largely expanded Arcade. We have lots of games to play so um...play them?
    • Participate in Tournaments. It gives you something to do and a little bragging rights if you win (no promises there).
    • Create and join RP's. KHP in my opinion is well known for its wide array of RP's ready to be posted in by members of our caliber.
    • Subscribe to User Groups after joining them to actually get to have them active and thriving.
    • Make User Groups!
    • Stay as active as you possibly can.
    • Take the time to maybe write or create your own fan fiction. We sure as hell have a lot of them.
    • Take the time to think of interesting and engrossing threads that will have people interested in jumping into the discussion.
    • Take the time to explore the forums and whatnot and maybe make a few suggestions here and there to make us bigger and better.
    • Invite your friends! Have them place your username in the referrals.
    • Recommend constructive and encouraging additions to our website by contacting our staff. It never hurts to have an upgraded forum. No seriously, it doesn't!
    • ...Bug a few people to get back into posting. It may work :p
    I really would like to help out this forum to make it better than it already is. But we all have to pull our own weight here guys, it's the only way it can work ;)

    SNOOOORE! Anything I put in bold shows that it will never work. Why bug people to post. -__- You can get in trouble for doing that. Inviting your friends may work though. There's hardly anyone who wants to do a fan fiction in the traditional thread but I guess that with the tournaments, it may be active. I never subscribe to anything on forums. It just makes useless emails in my account and my mommy will end up screaming. I hate debates. there's always someone who tries to bring up religion and flaming gets started (At least I don't be the first one bringing it up.) People hardly be active in the arcade section and I don't know what Aqua is doing.
     
  3. Well you can always edit your subscriptions so you get no emails so that was kind of dumb. You're the guy that usually brings up religion so, yeah. I'm aqua009 is one of those people that is busy with other things in life. Also, what do you mean these things are impossible? I'm sure most of us have friends that are interested in forums about things that they actually understand and want to talk about.

    SummmonerBWM, not to sound critical; you really need a better attitude.

    EtherealSummoner Lamentations 3:22-26

    -___- I never talk about religion unless someone else is talking about it and I'm never the one to be the first to bring it up in a debate section. As for the attitude, oh well. Still a nice person but I speak my mind out more.
     
  5. It's alright that you speak your mind it's just that having such pessimism really discourages what I'm trying to do for this forum dude :(

    Why not? I've done it a couple times to get RPs moving for this or that reason. And where does it show that those things you bolded never work? Trouble how?

    *Points to self* Fan-Fiction-Writer, here. I advertise my fan-fiction all the time. Whether or not people read them however is up to those who read the damn threads.

    How about getting your own e-mail, then? I've got several where all junk mail goes that I never check. Why? Because they're for junk mail specifically. And KH alerts are pretty helpful. I'm not on a computer 24/7 and the ones I can get to during the day have KH blocked. The alerts serve as a means for me to see what's going on w/o having to log on.

    Also, try having a debate and not bring up religion. It's damn near impossible. Do you realize how deeply rooted religion is in the entire human society? Deep. And how long ago was the last flame in the religion thread? Months? The last I remember was between you and Mithral Rox - which lead to him and I getting in a little spat. But further than that I'm not aware of any flame-wars.
     
  7. I think he may be referring to the wars that happened over in the AnimeMB Forums.

    You guys better not bring up what happened in the MB forums. >:/
     
  9. I'm sure that won't really happen but back on task here. What can we do besides these things to help the forums get back on track?

    Keyblade Master Roxas Shake the Core.

    Well I guess either people lost interest, or they just don't wanna get on because all the "good" people left. Such as Kairi, Loco and some others. Who every one miss. I guess we can invite people from MB.

    EtherealSummoner Lamentations 3:22-26

    Whoo hoo. I'm a poetry writer too. I hate Subscrition emails myself. As for religion, no way to get out of it I guess.
     
  12. I would be kind of hard knowing that none of them ever played a single Kingdom Hearts title :-/
     
  13. Haresuno

    Haresuno KH-3's Übermensch

    No, we can't think small and just within the bounds of KH's sister sites. It's a good start but they already know about the site (more or less). I say we spread word to any friends or acquaintances we know who like to RP. We need to bring fresh people in as much as bringing in some of the old. We are the new old, in a way.
     
  14. EtherealSummoner

    EtherealSummoner Lamentations 3:22-26

    <.> That's what I don't like. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE RP!! Let'S RP PEOPLE!!! -__- This site is not made just for roleplaying. There are other sections that people can enjoy talking about but instead, spam city and the roleplay section gets all the glory while the other sections dies out. We need more people to be more active in other sections.
     
  15. I agree with you on this. If it isn't to much troulbe for most of you guys/gals, could you maybe spread the word to friends that you know would be interested?

    Roxas @ summonerBWM

    We don't mean that we're only bringing up the Roleplay section dude, KHP is well known for its number of (relatively good) RP's and it's good to build on strengths. But you're right that we need to fill in the empty spaces here.

    There's only so much people can talk about. After a while everything becomes an old hat (this goes for a lot of RPs too, so don't think I'm excluding them). The reason its "all about the RP" is because some of us joined for that specific reason. And our connections don't join sites just for the spam when they can hang out and spam offline. (At least my connections don't)
     
  17. Spam City was apart of a major reason why much of the activity went down. Even though those of us (me included) stepped over the boundaries big time it was a place that could help us pass the time.

    I agree with this. Kingdom Hearts I, for one thing, is 8 years old now. I, and I'm sure a lot of people, feel like I've pretty much said all I can say about it. Same goes for COM and KH II, as well as most of the Final Fantasies. So as far as discussion in the main gaming sections of the forum go, I've said all that I can say many times in the past. I think the debates suffer the same way. I can only state my opinion on abortion so many times before it gets old.

    In my opinion, there's a difference between activity just for the hell of it, and quality posting. I'm not trying to offend anyone, but Spam City was pretty much full of garbage. I don't miss it. Nor do I think that is a major reason why activity has gone down, because the site wasn't doing too badly until just recently, really.

    As far as what to do about it, posting in other places besides Roleplay would help some. I've tried to boost some activity with some tournaments, but it doesn't do me any good to bother with them if people won't join.

    As boring as this place seems right now, I think I'd actually wait until summer before freaking about it. I figure a lot of people are starting to get really busy with school work, since the end of the school year is coming up shortly.
     
  19. I'll have to agree, with people living in different timezones educational events may be different than in the US here but then again, panicing could be what helps us to sort of add a buffer to the current events.

    i try to get on alot, but i stay after school and then i try to make some money, plus i hate being on a computer for more than two hours. Really the big thing is that there are no new topics and most ppl dont want to make a new one. I love the debate section, i wish all the threads there would pop back up. The amine part could do alot better, for that we should go to amine sites and invite ppl or tell ppl about it. The movie section and game section could as well, so go to movie forums and ask them. Or arcade forums with all the games we have. Get ppl to make some real post instead of just oh i knew that or whatever kind of post. REALLY i think that we all need to just jump start all the threads, or make some big ones that wont die out fast. but that's just me.
