...Which means we need to change some stuff up. What new things or contests or whatever would you guys like to see?
I know I make this topic at least once a month (or so it seems), but since we just lost 2 major users (Doodle and Kilroy), and their reasons for leaving involved the staleness of this place, we need a change of pace.
Suggestions?
Merge with a popular forum.
...Hey, it worked with OldFCD. At least, for a time.
How about all the stuff we used to have or were supposed to get.
- Those awards.
- Podcast.
- Homepage.
- ARCADE (again).
Seriously, everything that gets started here seems to just die off after all the hype wears down.
Some weekly or monthly contest involving games would work. Something to challenge the people here. More trivia?

Mack is supposedly working on the Awards (still? >_>). And we were actually about to start doing podcasts...if Mack is ever not busy. :|
Arcade might be doable, and homepage...don't think it'll work, sadly. If we were at nsfcd.com/forums, we could easily do it, but I don't know if it'll work out the way it is.
Also we might be doing a neat contest soon, with a very desirable prize. Just need to figure out the contest terms.
Oh, and change it back to Nsider Forums. If you haven't realized, NSFCD doesn't roll off the tongue.
Or we could advertise...
Doodle and Kilroy left?
What dickholes!
Also, Silver, if you want to increase activity, buy a camera, record yourself, do something funny, advertise this place, put it on TV, profit.

In addition to this, I suggest an event similar to Camp NSFCD, except with less suck.
Activity seems to fluctuate very often, so I won't worry about it.
Make everyone drop out of school.

Yeah, but...we just lost like 3 or 4 users all at once. ._.;
Yeah yeah yeah, awards are on me. Me being on a new computer factors into that. Same with the podcast, which we need to actually plan.
Arcade is a definite yes, and it is something I have been working on. I imagine it's something that could be up and functional within a month. A front page just isn't useful to us by any means. I have some contest ideas that you are going to see pop up here throughout the weekend (one tonight) with minor reward (our big reward being saved).
But NSF, we need to talk. I'm not going to lie: I don't love this place like I used to. I love it more. This site is dying at the hands that fed it. Nourished it. Inaction is action against the forum. Rather than leaving - taking the easy way out, you are abandoning your friends, and what you once believed in. You're abandoning yourself.
To those that leave, no longer will your rank be waiting for you. Nor will welcome arms be outstretched for you upon your "return" from your "permanent" leave. For those that are leaving for a break, I'm glad. We all need a break. But for those turning your back on us - I'm incredibly disappointed.
In saying this, I give you 24 hours, by 6:30 EST, to return to us as you were. Besides that, you were likely not a part of our hearts and community anyways. Good riddance.
For those of you that stand by NSFCD, all it stands for, and the work we all dedicate to keeping this community together, I say thank you. You're what makes it matter. You're what counts. And Silver and I are going to make you proud to be members of this site in coming month.

Exactly. Leaving just because you think the site is "boring" doesn't help poop. It just makes it
more boring. Instead of leaving, why not offer suggestions? We're willing to do most anything as long as we feel it improves the site.
I'm surprised Kilroy left, though. Seeing as he was always the first to say "I'll never leave this place" and things like "I'm here to the end, I love it here, this is my second home".

QFT. Although, I'd give them an extra day or two. Sometimes I don't come on here for a couple days, and it's not because I'm "leaving forever", it's just because I'm busy.

I think it's a scam, like the time "Mack demoted Silver and Silver quit."
Bad events do boost activity by a little bit for a bit.

Yeah, me too. Too bad I won't be here to see the results, since I'm leaving forever.

Shhhh, don't tell the others.I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, SILVER. I'M NEVER COMING BACK. THIS PLACE SUCKS.
ily guys <3
I just listened to three songs, then came back here. No new posts. What the intercourse ? No wonder our activity isn't getting any better. Post moar goddangit. >:(
Seems I joined at a bad time along with other new recruits. |:

This thread makes me feel guilty :(
So much was blown out of proportion, on both sides.
Quote from: IceFlinger on February 11, 2010, 03:13:08 PM
Or we could advertise...
And maybe have more of a focus to reel people in.
That would work swell.
We just need new forum based activity. Also, seriously, I don't remember who thought about it before, but a Youtube page would be very good. We could have a small group of users, maybe 3-4 (Rob, Kilroy, Doodle, Custom, Silver, Chris, just pure gamers. Maybe even change who commentate it) who could commentate on games. Also, intellect insights on games that came out and a look into the future with other releases, like Feedback on G4TV.com.
Notice how I'm saying all this game stuff? We are suppose to be a big game forum, yet our best board is Power On. We need to pull in our roots, kick ass, advertise, and WIN!!!
We have a YouTube page. Silver just doesn't put effort into it.

Well then we should. I bet Silver would give permission and password and such to the page so people can work on it. Maybe even Nayr would help with his little 'BrainScratch' thing he has going. Be a good way for both of the channels to get activity.
I should advertise NSF more on my YouTube...

This is a little extreme, but what if we only allowed guests to see the Nintendo board, Sign in/Sign out, and Power On. That way there's some incentive to sign up. I mean, we have more guests than users.

This is actually a good idea. I keep seeing so many guests and by limiting them...Yeah. But they still get a general idea of our discussion
By nintendo board do we limit them from Pokemon/Smash too?

Access to the infamous Porn Board. And a change on the staff of NSFCD. It's getting stale. And
gay.
