Activity and Why NSF is Near Dead

Macawmoses · March 16, 2009, 05:42:50 PM

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.

Gwen Khan · March 16, 2009, 05:55:29 PM

I don't really have anything to talk about

Macawmoses · March 16, 2009, 05:56:51 PM

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.

Kilroy · March 16, 2009, 06:05:47 PM

I certainly hope my contest will stimulate things.

Spam · March 16, 2009, 06:06:05 PM

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...

Titus Andronicus · March 16, 2009, 06:10:09 PM

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.

Linkman · March 16, 2009, 06:22:37 PM

I'm on the forum as much as I can be, but I don't post very often.

えっちーせんぱい · March 16, 2009, 06:27:44 PM

I don't play games anymore?

I don't do much anymore now besides go to school anyway.

Nayrman · March 16, 2009, 06:29:51 PM

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.

The Baron · March 16, 2009, 06:38:22 PM

School. Also I never post a lot on any forum =(

Silverhawk79 · March 16, 2009, 06:46:38 PM

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.
