Why don't you post as much anymore?
 

I'm curious. For you guys out there that have stopped posting as much, or at all, what made you stop posting as much as you used to?

Also, what can be done to improve your activity?

Not many threads that I'm interested in. I try to make threads that interest me, but they don't get much activity.

Though, my activity is unusually high lately. I don't think I've been above 50% in months before recently.

well wetwired is mostly dead so he has an excuse not to post much anymore

What would interest you more, WW?

I guess what I'm asking is for people to say why they aren't posting as much and give suggestions as to what can be done to get them to post more. I know for some people it's just for personal reasons that they can't help such as school or work, but I think for some it's just a lack of interesting things to post about. I want to know what would interest people more, perhaps suggestions for new forums if people will post in them, or maybe forum activities like the whole thing we had going before where we would pick fictional characters and decide who wins based on what people thought would happen. Can't remember what it was called, but stuff like that might be good. I'm just looking for suggestions.

Zelaron melee?

Yeah that's it

Just not as many interesting things are being posted. Once in a while a good debate gets sparked in the debate forum or someone posts something really worthwhile in the convo forums. I don't tinker with RM2K(3) as much, so that cut down my activity in that forum.

I had my addiction to wow breifly reignited. Now that that's died down I'll be going back to somewhat normal.

I guess I don't post as much anymore because lack of good conversation and most of the old posters that made this place worthwhile have dissapeared or become less active. Titusfied, RoboticSilence, Penny_Bags, kaos, MJ, Bob, Hades-Knight, Randuin, SYG, NGM, Slim, and the list goes on and on.

Maybe we should try to bring back an old member each week. Make a thread titled something like "This week: Operation Slim". I don't know. It's just not as interesting as it used to be.

How many of these older posters do you actually talk to though? Maybe you can coax them to start posting more. Just a thought.

We need to get Kaneda on here with another girl.

I still come on every day, pretty much. The topics that interest me enough to post in are few and far between, though. The Opinion/Debate forum is probably the best one going.

I never was a huge poster so I suppose it doesn't matter, but I find the combination of Mantra and Grav to be WAAAAAYYYY too annoying.

We've both been here since 2002, so you must be quite annoyed.

The Dragoons (the guys that got me involved with the forum) basically stopped posting. That mixed in with my busy schedule just doesnt allow time for me to post anything. Plus, some of the topics arent that amazing. But my activity recently has shot up so i guess the forum is making a comeback. I can also state that when Halo 3 comes around, the Dragoons will be abck.

I read everyday. Im just the strong silent type...

SYG's too selfish to post. He's too busy shooting Iraqis =(.

yeah same with me i read usually every day.

Sometimes 3-4 times a day.

I just dont know. I feel like since gaming kind of slipped away, we all slipped away too. I dont know., i felt like zelaron was more like a family not a community. I mean, dont you remember when we had to try to convince members that posted strictly in our DII forums to post other places? We had threads like "zelaron isnt just a DII forum" and what not. Gaming brought us together because thats what we all love or atleast loved at one point.

BUT, as for my personal reasons; I'm growing up man. I'm not 11 years old anymore. I dont know if you guys realize how much impact Zelaron has had on me. I have posted it before, but jeeze, 11 years old, thats the last 4 years to shape me and transform me into who I am.

How did Zelaron aide you in transforming/shaping your life? What daily routines do you go through where you think "Ahh, thank you Zelaron!"?

I agree with the "nothing interesting" statement. In the past, there was always something going on. There was always some argument about this or that, and for the longest time, the Flame Forum was more entertaining than anything else here.

Additionally, with graduation in 37 days, I'm always swamped with shit to do, and when I'm not swamped with shit to do, I'm trying to relax and either sleep or play games.

I am generally at the top of my class with my grammar and English skills. I am a great writer, I know how to express myself. I think in a very logical way, i am pretty sharp kid for my age. I have a good sense of humor, and i thank Zel for that a lot because a lot of things on Zel are funny, or at least have helped me understand things better. That is another big one, i am very understanding to things and people, its like, everyone on this board is different. I read things you guys have to say every single day, so I am pretty good with people and understanding their thoughts and putting things into different perspectives.

I know how to take jokes and i know how to dish out some pretty severe insults when need be. I am just generally a lot smarter than the kids in my freshman class.

I dont ever say 'ah thank zelaron' but when i reflect upon my last few years, zelaron has a lot to do with it.

Slaynish, although you are getting good grades in English class, unfortunately in this country I don't think that makes you a good writer. The bars are set so low that being able to put a verb and a subject together is basically an A-quality paper.

Zelaron helped me mature just a bit.

Does that make mantralord like your uncle that makes you sit on his lap while naked?

I stopped coming around because none of the threads interested me. Got bored.

This forum needs more Estrogen. And maybe a "Lets Swap Recipe's!" thread.

...Okay, maybe not.

Perhaps you missed it, but the activity mod is broken down into visit activity and post activity now. Everyone knows when you lie about lurking.

You should bring some more estrogen around here, Jes. We could use a few more females. We had one not so long ago called talentedhamster. I don't know where she went.

I remember her...She was cool. So no other females have come around since then?

Not that I recall.

Sad, but expected I suppose. There really isn't much of anything here to appeal to women.

So what brought you around?

Good question. I'll get back to you when I have an answer that doesn't sound like complete bullshit.

There were a few who used to come around that I remember. You, Senesia, Silverjinx, Talented, LadyIce, and then a few other people brought their gf's around every once in a while I think.

You know what we have even less than women, though? Black people. The only other guy I remember is oreo.

Although I think I've posted more than all the women to ever post here combined, so I don't know if that really counts.

Eh, lets face it; A forum like this is mainly focused to attract white, nerdy boys.

No offence to any of you out there, of course.

I am a white, nerdy boy.

Hi. *wave*

Correction, that should say "I am a white, nerdy, fat boy."

OMG, Jessifer! <3

Ha. Oh, I've missed this place.

At any rate, I'm off to play Guitar Hero or FFXII or drool at my recently purchased DS or something. Adieu!

We haven't seen a picture of Grav in years. How are you so sure he's still fat?
