*sighs* Yeah, I have noticed the slowness too. Trust me, I frequent the boards every night, and there's almost nothing to post in without short ass posts that make me feel like spamming.
*rolls eyes* I've linked the boards from all my sites, I'm trying to get peoples to join, but no one's doing anything, it sucks! AND : It's getting to the point where all people will post in RPs are stupid one-liner responses. What kind of crap is that!? Now I can't reply to the RP, and it's basically dead. *goes off grumbling* |

Without actually letting go anyone, you could just demote them to local mods, we have more admins then local mods. As I said just demote a few people to lower rankings, I'm sure you don't need 4 admins to run the place. |

Originally posted by Xeios Well, I glad I'm not the only noticing this. And the decline isn't stopping: 45 posts during the last day, 2 posts during the last hour. I wouldn't go as far to say that this "pisses me off", since I'm the owner and everything (just might look bad), but yeah ... this is, well, not that great. But, I've given it what now, maybe 6+ months to "see" if we'd ever get back to the activity we used to? I just don't think it's going to happen for an extremely long time now. 300+ posts was the normal, back when Xeogaming started, but now when I see 100 these days, it's good ... But down to 45 posts today, man. I've brought this issue up so many times myself, and honestly, nobody has really given me a clear explanation as to why the "majority" of the place is slowing down. I mean, you can't target anyone about this, it's the "entire" community here. Sure, we had those top posters when Xeogaming first started, but everyone was posting everywhere. RP's were going crazy, discussions were everywhere, jokes were everywhere, all forums were active, and so on. Also kind of on the subject, I will just publically and honestly say, it feels like I have an overload of staff here. There just seems to be (right now) more than enough members on staff, for what the board needs, with this huge decline in activity. But, I'm not going to unfairly demote people because of this, but truly, that's something I've noticed. But, as I have brought it up plenty of times in the past, I don't think anyone is really going to do anything about the issue. I've tried to come up with things, updated the board with some new things, put up the main site, and it's still just steady here. Eh? |

Personally I signed up on the main site, but never really inteded to do anything on there. I don't know what there even is to do ine there.
But the whole board slowness is pissing me off, becaue all of the threads I want to post in take weeks to get osted in by someone else, so I'm pretty much screwed over when it comes to the time that someone actually posts in it, I don't have anything to say or I have forgotten the important thing I was thinking of. It really blows. Battles have been going slowly, RPs have been going slower. Threads in Crazy and Tricks are hard to treply to without saying "oh yea, thats funny lmao!!!1one" |

:/ Mmmmm... sorry. I don't really know what to say. I'm NOT really interested in it, just cause I went to it and it seemed kinda bland. Nothing that really interested me. But at the same time, I don't know what to tell you to make it better. |

Well, I never said I'm -not- happy about the board.
I just find it interesting that the site has little to no activity at all, when this place is pretty big. Then again, this place has slowed down a lot also. I think I'm going to try to contact a few members here, but really, all of this input isn't helping at all. I've just gotten the impression that the majority of you, don't want to bother with the main site. That doesn't upset me or anything, but at the same time that doesn't help. |

Ok xeo umm... sorry to say, i'm not sure about the rest of these guys but i never go to the main site. I knew about the board before the site... Sorry but you should atleast be happy you have a good board that is relatively popular and is full of good people. |
Evo Posts: 203/871 |
Er....
Well, Xeo, let me put it this way. My eyes are not drawn to the top of the screen at all. It's like, I know it's official, so it's like my brain registers "boring" automatically. |
Xeoman Posts: 2313/11757 |
You guys read announcements though ... right? ... |

Originally posted by XeoLordThat's what I'd figure. Most new sites aren't going to become instantly popular, especially if you don't have much content. Plus, look at your competition. You're going to have to stand out somehow to keep people coming back. |

I know, I'm not being very helpful I just don't have any suggestions.There is just nothing really that would attract me too it I guess. |
Evo Posts: 197/871 |
Kinda agreed with Makura there.
But then again, Hun. Xeo is asking for suggestions on what to do with it. I'm assuming that means things to add to it, etc. So if you have any suggestions, like with stuffs you like to do online... I'm drawing a blank at the moment. Will PM/post when I think of something. |
Makura Posts: 547/1555 |
I don't know. It could just be me, but I don't really like it. I'm not complaining and I think it's cool, but i just don't have any interest in anything on it. I just much rather hang around the board. Like I said, I don't mean to complain it's just sort of not my thing. *shrugs* |

i knew about it cause i read the announcement. im just lazy as fuck and dont want to register yet another name on another site that i probably will never go to. (no offence)
A main page is really nothing of my concern, cause as long as i have a forum to post on, it does the same good for me. |

Uhh... yeah. Stickies aren't the way to go. I've been ignoring them until recently. They're just so hard to miss. |
天国JOE Posts: 437/2999 |
Nobody reads stickies anymore, man. People are just going along with it, not really paying much attention. That's the present, man. That's what wrong with the World, man. No one "knows" things. It's a shame, man. And...yeah.
...man. |
Xeoman Posts: 2307/11757 |
I'm surprised so many didn't even know about it ...
There was an announcement up for a good couple of weeks, this thread has been stickied since ... etc. |
SyntaxLegend Posts: 179/310 |
I've been writing FAQs, I knew it was there, it's just writing a FAQ about something that isn't so obvious, it can get really hard to find something and which I have a game of... |
天国JOE Posts: 435/2999 |
I'll put in some reviews, I need to keep doing them so I get better. Still kinda "eh" with them. And I need to play more games. I reviewed The Suffering, and think it's my best, but it still needs work. I'm not really good at rating graphics and such to well. |

Im with pockets and T.R.O.M. I didnt know there was a main site, lol. Most of the time borads with a main site don't worry to much about it. |
