Ha ha.
Maybe all the forum needs is something new to talk about, or something really really reeeaaaaally old. (that no one remembers anymore
)
First thing I wann say Egg.. is.. uum, escue me?.. Don' trip..
j/k
And I was thinking the same thing! Maybe people are just tired of talking about the same things over and over again..
QUOTE (Enjeh @ Nov 17 2009, 03:48 AM)I read the forum here daily, tho I never feel like posting at all
As Chuuko had also pointed out.. but we need to see if we can find a way that will make people WANT to post, rather than just reading things and running off..

I used to post a bit in the anime section, but the problem is sometimes theres just no replys to things, and i tihnk posts where people are just saying a few lines after just watching an episode seems to be discouraged, and its those kind of posts which happen because someone is really enthusiastic and interested, yes it may not be the best discussion, but its a feeling. When going to a thread and thinking "oh I have to write something long and interesting" it kinda puts them off.
I know it sounds like Im simply repeating myself over and over and over again.. but once again.. we need to find a way to get people more active on the forums.. someone said something about not forcing people, well it's not forcing anyone to do anything. It's more like, inspiring them or encouraging their passion to write or post.
Now, someone, not exaclty sure who, sorry, was opposed to the chat box idea. And he/she actually made a very good point. On alot of anime streaming websites, they have integrated chat boxes at the bottom of the page, and all that ends up happening is that a bunch of freaks get together a rant about completely ridiculous and pointless things.. not to mention the constant bombardment of pornographic content.. so maybe we really should avoid the chat box thing.
Now, no offense to anyone.. but it seems like all we're really doing is pointing fingers as to who or what's to blame for the lack of enthusiasm here, but no one, with the exception of the few ideas we got from Maiku_Ando, is trying to think of a solution. Im sure there are a million different reasons for why the forum is dead, but we have to spend our energy thinking of a way to revive this place. Some people keep saying that this revival most likely wont happen, well how are we gonna know unless we try and completely give it our all? It's for sure not going to be easy, but ultimately will pay off!
So once again, "C'mon FTV Team! Time to get a little Pro-Active!" and no.. i don't mean go and pop a few zits.. I mean let's get the ball rolling, let's get FTV's name out there and revive the place that has boughten joy and hope to countless of Anime/manga junkies! (hehe)
