I can stimulate this site again...I'm not taking credit from anybody. While I was here-I helped increase user numbers by ten percent.

With the help of Jessica and Ang. we can thrive once more.

("...capital..." replied the goblin, adding "...and I will help you sage where I can now...")

Agreed. Numbers should increase by 10% once more. Right!

("...it is going to be difficult, remember more and more people are opening their own forums, meaning lots of chiefs and few indians, we have to concentrate on content, where friendship alone is not going to work, but if people want to write then they are in a very good forum to, we are a "live writer's" forum, people who write in posts and this is the internet too, sage do you know of another forum of this writing level then, and to think that you are part of it now.." mentioned the goblin with sage's future in mind here)

repost from elsewhere

"...remember, posts are the lifeblood of a thread here, if someone doesn't post something new each day, anyone turning up looking on will rightly raise an eyebrow, whereas if nothing new is posted in a week, he or she will think the site is sleeping, whereas if nothing has been posted in a month, most probably that same person will just presume that the site is dead then..." mused the goblin over his coffee once more, adding "...keep the site ticking over with posts then is my advice now, admins can't depend on members here, it's the captain who sets the course now and makes the pace..."

IN OTHER TERMS...

... File clean up...

First we need lady midnight to appoint Leaders based on point value, Our logins(periodically visits), posts, profile( how well can these leaders get along),

Next we need to sort through topics and see which ones haven't been active for more than 3-4 months

Furthermore, links...we need to expand the area of this site. With lady midnights permission, we could probably set up different themes for different arts.

Note: im pitching ideas like we all need to do...this is not treason it is conductive reasoning and final agreement among the higher powers.Higher powers include: special titles, Moderators, admins, three main artists for each practice(art). Lady midnight should aslo be able to appoint Important People such as Fleamailman a devoted member of this site.

Finally, I think that an account that has been out for more than two months should be deleted BUT I also believe that if they attempt to login AFTER their account has been DELETED they will be notified at the login screen and that they can continue to use their account by clicking "Yes, I would still like to login." Then the account is recovered. ANY account overe 5 months without use will be deleted permanantly, AND they can recover it ONLY my checking their mail.




There is alot to talk about. WE do NEEd newcomers... ... ...but there is only so much i CAN say and CANNOT do.

its up to lady midnight to have the higher powers to come to a meeting in chat so everyone can view it and leave comments as we speak. this is direct feedback because the username is given. We have to establish a date to meet. all who fail to make this attendance will have to watch this site changing in front of their very eyes.

("...I will help how I can, and people will come..." said the goblin)

Very well. As i said, this is only a post of ideas to bring back life to the crypt.... I feel like i am on a true mission.

"...this place will survive and thrive if simply because their is a sense of commitment towards content..." replied the goblin, adding "...in the end it's content, either in the wish to find it, or produce it for oneself, that will pull people here..."

Darlings, maybe you should try to get more members by posting for people to come here on social networking sites.

I am already doing such. However, I have to make sure we have qualified members, having artistic background to maintain a certain root of pg-13 rating.It makes me sound facist yes, against the artisically hindered but I am not saying they are banned from entering.


<sigh> We are trying all we can for lady midnight.
We need your help as well.

God, I'm sorry. I've been dead in the water for forever. But I'm on spring break now, and all of my major projects save one are out of the way for the time being. I've got a few flyers ready to slap up (Sage and I talked about that), and I promise, I am back in the game. Scout's honor!

SCOUT"S HONOUR!!!!! XD

im doing the same(and reading :Macbeth: a thane that is lustful of power...hmmm that kind of stuff screams TRADEGY!!!.

I'll start posting on my new website that is being stubborn...scratch that! i send to my "popular" friends.

Well, i am trying even though im here in florida. sigh.....grin...then look at the person in front of you. they'll know you need help.

repost from elsewhere, someone claiming the site had died

Quote:

The place has been here for 4 years, it's got the tenure. It was among the first wave of internet message boards. Which gave it the edge. Look at other similar boards like xxxxxx with 100s of active members. This place has stagnated for 4 years, with the same core group of about 10 members and their duals, who are responsible for most of those 1,000,000 posts because they are online ALL THE TIME because they have no lives. They post the same crap, hour after hour, day after day, week after week, month after month. this site has been dying for quite some time now, and it's easy to see why. The good members have all shaken their heads at the "Same old, same old" juvenille mentality, gay posts, and the messing around with member profiles and posts using the software permissions given to admins and moderators. I called this one over 3 years ago. RIP your site then

"...actually most forums are just suffering from member loss anyway, simply everyone wants to be an admin in their own right now, so as the number of sites across the internet increases, while there is no matched increase in the number of members then, simply the resulting slump is obvious, as what you rightly mention then..." explained the goblin over sixty forums now, continuing "...no it's bravo to this site then for its very survival within this climate here, for I seen enough implosions, of supposedly better larger forums, for me not to be impressed by any other factor than the one you have wrongly stated as a negative here, a solid core member-base that posts often, they're called "rooted members" by the way, and any admin worth his salt knows their true value here...", in fact, the goblin didn't care for huge forums at all, since it just made it harder to keep track of ones interest, where most members only tagged threads anyway
