<span style='colorurple'>I've noticed lately that all of the topics on this site have gotten slow.. or boring.. somebody needs to come up with more interesting topics.. I dano.. something. Does anyone else see the "slowing down" of the "interesting topics" on board around here?</span>

yup, definetely! hows you neway, not been on for a while!!

They basically trail off topic...I don't think anything can help

well we just need some of the old folk....it always happens...too many people sign up w/out posting and then the 'regulars' like us get fooked off cos no-one is posting (Homer is an example).....it doesn't matter what topics we start you get only about four of us replying after a short while.

yup, nice as a lot of the people are on the forum you end up having the same convo with the same people over an over

we should have a regulars section that's lightly monitored just for us lot to chat and then if the rest picks up then that's ok.

P.S I've been trying to mod soem of the topics I'm involved in because the current ones *cough* Redeye *cough* RAF *cough* either don't care or CBA to mod anymore....serisouly this forum has gone wrong.

Yeah... I can agree w/Tet on this one...

Most topics just get so boring after we've all put in our opinion that we just move on to something else.

yeah, or topic that fade out should get closed quickley as soon as the opinion has run out

i'm hurt *sobs*

It's okay... I still love you...

*Runs away from Nataku*

god damn it we're already off topic!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Okay... back on topic...

Anyone have any ideas how we can make the forum not so slow?

Personally, if we get lucky, then we can have more posting members, which should create for A LOT of talk if you ask me.

Did that just sound too obvious? Cause it sounded A LOT better in my head than in type out.

make it you have to post more to get a rom, then they might get into it! and continue posting

That wont help Ive seen this before in the old forum and all of its stages, believe me the number of roms is good at 10, thats exactly or close to what you need to get a feel for this shit if you dont like it you dont do it n e more and the reason for wich ppl dont return or dont stay here often is cause they haver another forum as their base or just cause they dont have n e time i like the roms but its kinda the same shit over and over, and the ppl that i used to talk to arent here n e more so that why I have drifted away, but still I dont let the forum die cause at the moment is the only flaming forum that aint that bad to look at with a couple of exceptions, and what you or shall I say we need is ppl to stop the offtopicness you dont need to reply to every single thread there is if you already stated your opinion on a thread and everyones agrees dont post untill you find a opinion thats worth replying to and get the fuck away from the single word post I hate those...well those are my 2 fucking cents ppl.

I agree with homer (Jesus...I just agreed with homer...) Once you get off topic, you have basically turned it into a two way conversation, the other forum members have nothing to say.

oh yeah, and the whole post before you can get a rom never worked. I remember when we had a credits system, where you get credits for posting and you needed to get credits to download roms. and the mods had to kill n00bs on a daily basis.

The credit system is good in theory but it needs to much upkeep to make it run well. It will not be coming back for sure.

Why don't you get the Karma hack for Invision?

No time for things like that now. Mostly just school and work now, those come before the website.

either that or get Mods to enforce the rules more.....try and keep things on topic. Also create a new Group for conversations to try and keep them off the main forum

Conversations should be taken to an IM client anyways.

Id say the reason the site is slow is cause most of the kids are in school and somethings on the site arnt set right.. Those who want to download are somewhere else and too much off topic chats creates confusion and kills good threads for new people..

Thats rigth but i dont agree with the credits thingy cause that may get more members here but the spam count would go up to heaven and youll be diggin another hole to cover one, get my drift?

i know, maybe pink could put up more "special" pics of herself, thatll get things rollin

Why does every topic turn into sleaze in this place!

<span style='colorurple'>hahahaha.. *laughs*.. hahahhaa... anyways! Just someone come up with INTERESTING CURRENT EVENT topics or something.. instead of all this random easily-offtopicish- crap............ I dano.. We'll figure something out.. there's always a posting BOOM around this place....</span>

haha yeah, i dont think this is a big deal, as long as i've been here, every 2 or some months someone posts a thread saying "OHH THE ROMS IS GOING TO HELL" then the old members start to reminiss about the old days of the forums when there was 80 new posts every 5 minutes. And then somewhere after like a month or so there is a huge post burst where the old and new memebers have renewed energy to post their hearts out.

Then 2 months later the cycle begins anew.

haha
