Posted by blackhole89Posted by Zem Hey, I'm not trying to insult you here. There's lots of reasons the whole staff and 90% of the regular users might blend into each other; maybe you just attract/select people extremely similar to you, or maybe you all just have trouble expressing yourselves. I'm just responding to the thread with one of the major reasons I, personally, don't find this board as appealing as I used to. I'm sure you don't want me here anyway, but I'm guessing a lot of other people are put off by the homogeneity as well. ____________________ |

That's a fair point. Indistinguishable isn't the best term, but the userbase is certainly more homogeneous than it was when I joined. Just as an example, are there even any active female users now? In more active days, a visitor to the board would see lots of active conversation on a variety of topics, and they may be tempted to register and give their input. At the moment, it looks like most of the discussion on the board is about the board itself*, and no outsider would be bothered to register and join in. These are just my impressions of the situation. It sounds like there's active general discussion in the IRC channel. Is there any way you can get this kind of activity onto the board? Or maybe you should just focus on the IRC channel and have the board act as an auxiliary entity.
What I personally want in a board as a user, and what you want as a board owner, are obviously very different things. I'm not expecting that to change. But I got myself into this discussion, so I might as well ride it out. *I don't look at the rom hacking sections. If those are also ineffective at grabbing new rom hacking users I'm not going to guess at why. ____________________ |

I registered pretty much just to say this. I browse the rom hacking sections from time to time, but this place is so stagnant. It's a joke. The staff do nothing at all, and are for the most part unnecessary. You rarely listen to the user base's opinion, and you seem to think that whatever you think is right, whatever your opinion is, it's infallible. You're ridiculous and you all need to change. |

From what I could gather in this thread, the board is like tRO1 dying, we all ask for something to save it.
Hey if you consider who's your only possible savior I'd be wary of asking him to save your board2, or else you won't be able to just click to get to online.php, you'll have to type it in the address bar. I really hope people get this, and bh nerd rages over the tRO2 joke |

^ditto.
Oh, and the programming forums too. Bukkaroo: who are you anyway? Interesting note: I glanced at the staff list and we have one local moderator, 5 global moderators and 5 admins. When did things get so top heavy? ____________________ Zelda Hacking Forum hobbies: delectatio morosa |

What makes a board is mostly the people posting in it, not the admins... |

Here is why I'm not active anymore:
I came here for one reason and one only: FRAXY, and to develop a full game based on it. But since everyone but me and plasma seem to be interested only in making bosses, the local FRAXY community has devolved into a very ornate "look what I can do". Surprising since there's obviously a lot of talent here. And disappointing. Since there is no real and consistent interest in doing the hard work of making something beyond a bunch of bosses, I've basically quit FRAXY and thus this board. There's no reason for anyone to stay on a board or in a community if there's no communal activity to get excited about that I can personally help build toward something greater than myself. It just seems amateur to continue to build boss after boss after boss and leave 2/3 of FRAXY unexplored. So since the FRAXY community isn't serious, I'm out basically. I check in every two weeks or so for maybe a neat or goofy thread, but that's it. End transmission. ____________________ For FOOOOOOD! |
