Kids, don't whine and tell me stats are trivial. Take a look at them for yourself.
Peak hours are about now.
Does this look like a peak to you?
"Lord Layton, Trumpy, Juliette, Kilroy, JrDude"
Whooo boy, 5 users.
Yesterdays topics, than posts:
7 162
Impressive yet again.
Last months stats: Topics, Posts, New Members, Most Online, Page Views
343 5924 15 37 185984
Worst month in our history.
The point is - we are unnecessarily dead. We have a larger base than many other forums, yet our posts, topics, and even online list is marginal at best compared to them. When SmashR and Hadaway best you, you know you are growing inactive.
So that brings up the points - why aren't you posting?
I'm not posting because I'm busy working on a map for the TF2 server.
At least half of the posts on this site are fluff. Not funny, not thought provoking, not worth reading.
The problem isn't that we're not posting enough, the problem is that we're not posting well enough.
I don't really have anything to talk about
Pete, that would depend on why you are here. I'm not here for constant serious discussions on Obama's policies and Evolution. I am not here to spawn meme's, either. I'm here for genuine discussion about video games and the industry itself, and I feel the discussion spawned from users like Nayrman is more interesting on a hundred levels. Others won't see it that way.
I certainly hope my contest will stimulate things.
I for one try to stay semi-active with my busy social life, but I'm also try to invite hordes of people the NSF some well see how that works out...
I'll also try and post more we need to get more boards active than Power On. Maybe just close it for one day...
Because Outsid's stats have recently gone up.
February 2009 381 topics 11852 posts
That's a record high coming from around 6000 posts a month.
I've been extremely busy and I have no idea why I'm on here right now...

Fair enough. I don't really care much about video game related stuff, so I guess I can't appreciate the site on the same level that you do.
I'm on the forum as much as I can be, but I don't post very often.
I don't play games anymore?
I don't do much anymore now besides go to school anyway.
School is the major reason.
I'll be on more for this week though, since it's spring break.
Also, I was staffing Momocon (anime convention) this past weekend, and barely had any time to do much of anything. At least I was able to get wasted Sunday night though...that was nice but good god that stuff was strong.
School. Also I never post a lot on any forum =(
I'll be more active now. I "finished" my map, even though it's ugly and needs to be redone already.
But hey, that's what v2 is for.
I lurk for the most part, I always have. There is not a single forum i can think of where I was a super active poster.
Hasn't anyone ever heard of optimism?
This forum isn't near dead. Not even close. Really.
School. I'm on the NSF Server sometimes, but School takes priority.
Also, There's never anything to post about. Everyone knows that Nintendo has all but abandoned their old fanbase. Having the same religion argument over and over is something I can only do every two months or so.
What else is there to talk about? We have no focus. I'm on SDA and M2K2 more often than here.
You know my reason =0 plus, the smashboard is all but dead
hmmm, I try to post, but I haven't found many things that interest me yet.
I still like this place for some reason though.
Really, the only interesting discussion occurs in the IRC.

This is so true.
That's why I spend more time in IRC than here actually.
Sorry, I've been playing a LOT of Fallout 3.
I am usually here as much as I am able to (considering school and such), but I just don't post.
I guess I'll start posting from now on. :P
I've been tormenting myself with some of the hardest games I've ever played. That's part of the reason you don't see me here.

I like lurking more than posting...
Plus it has been pretty stressful at school.
Being that most of us are in school... you should know that 3rd quarter tends to be the hardest.
I'm usually here a lot. I can't be on 24/7. D:
I've been posting. We just need more interesting threads is all.
SK's right, too. Lately, the only interesting things have been happening in the IRC. And even that is starting to get a little stale.
Hey, I post. I've even been trying to get new members. It's just none of them post. :(

Another reason for lack of activity: Snorkel, and the domain selling.
I don't post topics because you guys suck, this place is dead, this place is boring, and it has too many rules. I just rather post my topics in a forum that is not dead, that doesn't have half as many rules, and where I will get replies.

Meh, it's sporadic. Some days I post relatively a lot, others I just come and look away, and others I don't come at all. But, if you read well, you can see I talked about making topics, not about making comments.

Sometimes, though, I do wonder why all of the 'active users' aren't posting.
Furthermore, it's kind of difficult to have a conversation with myself.
Sorry for triple posting, by the way.
In all seriousness, if we could get at least half of our 2,403 members to stick, we'd be a pretty rockin' place. That, of course, is a cumulative effort; all of us who log in would have to pitch in.
In fact, right now, I see Qsmash and Jono2 lurking this thread; this forum is a place full of lurkers. I myself prefer lurking. We just aren't the type who actually post at forums, apparently.

I'm really busy with school.
Not sure if I can really increase my activity,
However, whenever I'm really bored or procrastinating I come on here
That's not often enough I suppose

I'm not good at making topics, so I don't try. It's a waste of everyone's time really. So I wait for others to post something interesting and well...

NSF's not dead.
It's merely sleeping.
Trying to turn into another forum that wants attention. Be yourselves darnit.
Instead something goes wrong, you take away some power from the people, and the people leave.
Problem: NSF is boring.
Cause of problem: NSF has incredibly boring users who only want to talk about video games. Hardly any of them can even maintain a decent flame war let alone post something worthwhile or, god forbid, intelligent.
Solution: There isn't one. I'm sorry, but we all know that forums die eventually. Nearly all of the interesting users are gone and all we have left are a couple dull Power On fags and a bunch of people who never leave the video game boards. It's too late.

kaz 4 mod, he'll fix this
Also, this is most certainly at the root of the issue. In terms of pure Nintendo discussion, this place simply can't hold a finger to NS2, even if our members are marginally more intelligent. Our only chance is to diversify, but unfortunately we haven't had definitive member support to do this. We try to insist that the (majority) of our members stay happy instead of rolling ahead with projects on our own, but unfortunately the majority hasn't wanted this thus far.
Thus, at this point, we really have two options:
a) Branch out, and fast.
b) Continue through the downward spiral.
As much as I love the idea of branching there's a few major issues with that:
1) Focus.
We need a focus first and foremost. General Discussion forums will do what we currently are doing: become stagnant and slowly die. You need to consistently be bringing in members, keeping them and have discussion going to maintain an active site. General Discussion forums are extremely difficult to do this with, since it's so insanely broad. When you have a focus, you have a target audience, which makes it far easier to obtain new members and hopefully keep them here.
NS2 has Nintendo. So I don't see us really cornering that market anytime soon, unless some major poop happens at NS2, and even then, most of them won't come here; they'll start their own site.
2) A more...motivated staff and memberbase.
Let's face it. Just about everyone here is lazy as all intercourse . People whine and complain about activity being slow and this place being boring. Not one of you however (short of maybe 2 or 3 people), ever tries to post new ideas, or do anything to change this. You can whine all you want, it won't change anything. You have to propose ideas and start things. You can't expect anyone else to do it for you. I would have thought the axing of the SIT would hint to you all that no one has proposed anything, but regardless, don't complain unless you have a solution of some sort.
We laugh and joke about NS2, but they have one thing we don't. They have a good chunk of members who come up with ideas, who run things and who push for people to be involved with things. They keep things relatively active and drag in new members and keep them there more often than we do.
3) A unified community.
As it''s been pointed out, we have those who stick the gaming boards, and those who stick to the more general boards. If we wish to move forward and branch out, people need to be on board. Otherwise, drama is going to result, and make transitioning to a new focus much more of a hassle. How to handle this is debatable. You can work to get everyone on board and move forward (time consuming, but doesn't piss off as many people) or provide an ultimatum (fast, but potential for major backlash).
Ultimately, this place won't ever completely die, since we have a few members that will keep showing up until the forum itself is gone. It will however, get to a point of one, maybe two posts a day if we're lucky. But realize, transitioning to a new focus, as well as promoting and building up a bigger site is a major project.

Truthfully, I don't see much difference between this forum and many other forums. I think the big problem is lack of appeal. Something about the forum, maybe it's default skin, drives people away from it.

Yeah, the default skin is kind of blah. I want to switch it back to NSF Classic, personally.
That period in NSFCD's history when we went after smaller forums and tried to merge with them, it seemed to do well. As long as the forum members agree.

We should make a new theme based on NSF Classic.
A shinier version, maybe.
My problem with most of the themes is they feel like they need to be more polished and smooth. They feel like they don't flow very well to me.

You're not too bright, are you? It should have been clear to you why being a video game forum is a problem for NSF,
not Neogaf and NS2. But since you can't read between the lines, let me quote FH to make it clear:

The difference is right in front of you. Sites like NS2 stockpile themselves with a certain type of user (in their case, idiots, but
dedicated idiots), partly out of luck. Like FH said, we're a bunch of lazy intercourse s, so that's the type of forum we have. Maybe if we were all mindless Nintendo-loving forum-elitist drones like NS2 users, we'd get things done.

I don't know about coding it, but I wouldn't mind doing some designing. Maybe.
I don't have much of a role here, I'm just...here. Some sort of job would be cool.
We need something to attract members, though. We're always getting active users that decide to leave, but rarely a new member that sticks around. We had Blaperile, but he left over being bullied... :|
I really can't think of anything that would attract new members, though. No matter what we do, a bigger and better site probably does it.

My problem with most of the themes is they feel like they need to be more polished and smooth. They feel like they don't flow very well to me.
We need a dedicated graphic designer. Bluaki is sort of one, but I don't know if he'd qualify as a full-fledged graphic designer.
hand me a css doccument and i'll check it out

Depends on which skin you want to look at.

I'm not posting because I'm busy working on a map for the TF2 server.
This.
Maybe if the staff and members were a little... oh, I don't know.... Less antagonizing?
Seriously, vagina cleaning device-baggy staff and members is a major turn-off to new members....

It's not like we have staff meetings on how to make everyone's life miserable. That was before we were nsfcd!
But still, were all poop holes. ;D
Then we need to target that demographic.

Wouldn't the poop holes be the people to leave the site first?
Then again... maybe not. Hmm...
It's because I left.
But for serious you guys are boring. Most of you are intelligent, but still very boring. (;

But still, were all arseholes. ;D
I'm not...I think...
Yeah it seems down time has been at an all-time high (ironic huh?) Bad choice of words :P
Anyway, NSF will have spikes of activity here and there but we mustn't give up hope. I'm sure activity will increase if we just wait patiently but it seems only time will tell.
Hey. I never post much anyways.
Also we are suppose to be a nintendo forum/site but there hasn't been many nintendo Blockbusters as of late(haven't played Madworld so I can't count that)
Once all the big main games were out of the way it started to fall. No Zelda, Mario, Brawl news that makes people want to check up on the site. Everybody who is still here just likes to talk to each other because they are friends now. And you kind of run out of things to talk about after a while.
But hey, that's just my two-cents.

I actually completely agree with this.
Kaz and Pixie for President 09.
And yeah. Our loose focus has no items of interest at all. .-.
Were not dead just lazy...
I'm not posting because no one's posting.
And you guys are very uninteresting with more uninteresting topics.
Think about it, Nintendo itself is dead. the company is just feeding off of all the money they make from crappy licensed games, occasionally, there's a diamond in the rough, but IMO, since the Wiis second year out, Nintendos lost interest to their original fans.
As for the forums themselves, we've pretty much run out of thigns to talk about. The only revitalization I can think of is if Nintendo re-launches the official NSider, but i doubt it.

Oh wow, what if we actually did hold some kind of election thing for a "president of nsfcd"?
I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE IT WOULD MAKE THINGS INTERESTING.
Because having NS2's President involved totally wouldn't make it look like we copied them.
I think we need some more dinosaurs around here. Dinosaurs never hurt anybody.
EXCEPT FOR DINO RIDERS.

King and Queen of NSF.
We have female users. It could work.

Do it.
Besides, NS2 has copied enough stuff off of the original NSF, it's not like they would care if we took some ideas from them.
I left, now I'm back.
