Things have been a little slow lately... [Archive]

There have only been about fifty posts each day for the past few days. I'd consider about a hundred posts average, so it's been really really slow I suppose. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how we could get some more activity going?

New threads could help. This must be the calm after the E3 storm.

Yeah, I see what you mean. The topics are pretty much balls. I'm not interested in any of them. We can't just start those forum games again either.''

well, there was this one game that somebody talked about a while ago and never got around to doing it...i think it was Neo, he has a tendency to do that :p

anyway, it's where poeple kill people and the last one to stay alive wins or something...i can't remember, and i'm too lazy to look it up...pretty sure it's in the contests forum somewhere.

Oh, you know what we need?

Neo's GT 24 series continued.

That would do the trick.

I was thinking about how slow it has been earlier today. I know the reason i'm not posting is because there haven't been any threads i could contribute to. Unfortunately I have no ideas at the moment. But contests usually help with post count (not necessarily with meaningful material)

We need a babe thread. I'll get us going:

Maybe not ban/scare all new members? Just a thought.

Babe threads are teh Satan. A game thread could help a little, maybe, but we wouldn't want to oversaturate the forums with them...

What ever happened to you kidnapping random GT members, I'm sure that could get the forum moving.. a nice murder mystery....

Forum games always get the posts appearing. Chats, Online games (half life, etc)

just some suggestions.

I haven't been online much lately. I have been doing a lot of things for school, and today was my last day, so I won't have anymore homework to do. I do have a few things for graduation coming up soon, but other than that, I just haven't been going on my computer nearly as much. I also can't really contribute to most of these topics either. I think that a lot of the older members have been missing too, and there was a lot of personality in them, and it made all the discussions a lot better.

Just give it time. Things should eventually pick back up.

Wel school is alomst over, so I think that things will pick up in a week or so. At least I hope so.

The sudden absence of GM cant help things, either.

Damn she's hot.

*looks at signature*

mmm.

And yeah, I agree with Dyl, they'll pick back up in a few days, but we need our GM back!

I do think we need more video game threads, though, considering how this is a game forum.

I think what Zebra said about members being gone makes a lot of sense. Apparently, those of us who still check regularly are not interesting enough :p I'll be leaving in a few weeks for France so it would be nice to have some sort of game before I leave.

'Cause, you know, he contributed so much to those discussions. Why, sometimes I would find myself confused and disoriented and GM's enlightened words would bring back to understanding. And I know that every single one of his posts demanded that an equally intelligent and well thought reply be posted. Nobody dreamed of ever posting something so sparse as "LOL" or "Golly gee, GM, you're funny."

I cry every day that I do not see a new post by him.

i think everybody is just too busy getting ready for exams and doing their final assignments or whatever. so yeah, give it a week or two, it will pick up.

I know I'm rarely at the forums during the summer because I'm always extremely busy. I barely have time to post during the day, and this is just going to get slower once the Spinto Band goes on tour starting Tuesday. I may not be able to check much internet until mid-late July, and then the whole month of Augues I'll be on tour as well...

Probably see you guys in early September more often.

I've been practicly gone last week, but I didn't miss much. :D

I suppose it might help if I stopped working on a treasure's trove and started paying attention to the forums. But I'm enticed by the bling.

what's a Treasure's Trove?

is it because people are lazy? maybe... i've been really busy making molds, pictures, art etc... but post them else where because of how dead it has been here.

Wohoho here, I am certainly not lazy. I post less because I'm not lazy. I get a lot more done lately.
