*Ongoing* Referral Contest!
 
Hey guys! I've noticed how extremely inactive Trisphee has been and I'd really like to do my part by helping this online community. I'll be offering set prizes for the amount of ACTIVE referrals each person gets, meaning said referrals need to have at least 15 posts (excluding Forum Games posts). If you are interested in entering this ongoing contest or contributing to this cause, please post here or message me.

Rules

1. Follow Trisphee's ToS
2. Be respectful - to ALL users and staff.
3. Referred users MUST have a minimum post count of 15 posts in order for the referral to count towards overall referral points.
4. Everyone is welcome to join
5. This is an ongoing contest
6. Posts in Forum Games and necro-ing (reviving older threads with 3-worded posts) does not count towards the 15 posts needed to receive your prize.
7. Completed referrals before this thread do not count
8. Please understand that this is an effort to get Trisphee back as an active community.

Open! Let's get started!

Espy 10-05-2014 04:19 AM

....You are a good person. -wanders off in search of recruits-

Ginger 10-05-2014 04:23 AM

Thanks Espy :3 I try...

I've found that hosting Join.Me sessions can bring in groups of new members at once. It's a live-streaming site that is free to use. Just find an active forum community, link them to your stream, and play around in different tabs. Also play with item layering. It makes people gasp when I do it... lol.

Lucid: 10-05-2014 11:37 AM

I love the idea of a referral contest! Thanks so much for doing something like this!

May I suggest a couple stipulations on the new person's posts? I would personally want to see rules such as the posts may not be in the forum games section, and the posts may not be necros of ancient threads that do not add any value (ie, "Yeah me too" on a 6-month-dead thread).

I know that having rules like those might make it harder to reach 15 posts, but there are plenty of active or semi-active threads around to actually chat in, and chatting with people would be so much more valuable in making the new person stay. We could easily point them in the right direction of the more active threads if they need help.

You don't have to do what I suggest, I just think it might help encourage the person to stay more long-term. ^.^

Ginger 10-06-2014 12:11 AM

Suggestions noted! I was actually thinking about this today. I'll implement those things as new rules to encourage newcomers to have actual conversation, and meet people. n__n

Thanks, Lucid!

Nysamu 10-06-2014 12:33 PM

Sounds like good ideas to me. :3

Ginger 10-07-2014 12:13 AM

I'm happy others are in agreement to this contest... now to get people online and motivate them to post somehow. All of this lurking has gotten me down.

Sei 10-07-2014 07:43 PM

Good luck, Ginger! You have my blessing. :3

Ginger 10-07-2014 09:33 PM

Thanks, Sai! If people want Trisphee to stay they're going to need to put some effort in and help me.

Illusion 10-07-2014 11:42 PM

How may ruffles until the jimmies pour? I wonder.

Sei 10-08-2014 11:53 AM

That's really true, Ginger. If you need me to help with anything as another user, let me know. :3

Illu, ... what?

Your whatsit confuses you, thus confuses the world, which makes a black hole that eats a star, that star was named Bob.
YOU JUST KILLED BOB HOW DARE YOU!?

Lucid: 10-08-2014 09:50 PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Not Bob! We will all miss him; may he rest in pieces.

Ginger 10-09-2014 02:10 AM

Sei - I've seen that live-streaming the site to an audience with the forum-site interest caters to a larger group of people at once. During the livestream, they ask me what this site is. I tell them a little about it, and start to play with the free layering system. When they sign up, I can then show them through my livestream if they have any questions regarding how to make their avatar, the trade system, some of Trisphee's rules about posting, etc. This way it might answer questions other people in the livestream might have.

After the layout gets a revamp and a couple more games get added, I will try my best to do more livestreams and more introductions. It's a time-consuming process, but if a couple more people can dedicate a couple of hours each week doing livestreams of Trisphee, and maybe see if a website would like to exchange small ads, I think we can get some growth here. The sooner these things can get done, the more chance we'll have at keeping people attracted enough to stay with our little close-knit community. I have noticed the layering system alone is what awes a lot of viewers. We just need more publicity about the site to attract more users here. I'm sure we can do it, it will just take dedication. If people care for this site and they want to keep it around, they need to take action and do something about it. Tell their friends, family, reach out to public chat rooms online. Introduce your friends on different avatar sites to Trisphee, and give them a little aurum or a starter pack, a little something to play with in the layering system to help make them feel more welcome and inclined to stay. Stay and post with them while they're getting used to the site.

They need someone to post with on here to earn aurum for things they want in the shops and Merchant Square, which every active member can provide a couple of posts if they would just take five minutes out of the time they're online anyway. Skype isn't the same as Trisphee. Adding everyone on there and ignoring the site has led to the site's inactivity.

Illusion 10-11-2014 02:02 PM

For every time I log in the site and I'm the only one on during regular day hours. I'm blaming you Ginger, and subtracting a smiley point from a point scale that I just made up.

Ginger 10-11-2014 10:21 PM

Hahaha Illusion xD I'll host another join.me session tonight in hopes of expanding our userbase a little more. Hopefully we can gain some more active members on here to post with.

Espy 10-11-2014 10:54 PM

Work yer layering magic on join.me!

Ginger 10-11-2014 11:09 PM

Would you like to join Espy? I'm about to start

Espy 10-11-2014 11:11 PM

Maybe. Might have to get dinner first.

Ginger 10-11-2014 11:17 PM

Okay not a problem :3 I'll be around for a few hours sooo... :D

Espy 10-12-2014 12:30 AM

Back from dinner. Drop me a link?

Lucid: 10-12-2014 02:10 PM

Oh my gosh Ginger, your avatar is GORGEOUS. **licks**

Ginger 10-13-2014 11:28 PM

Thank you! I made it while livestreaming the other night. I'll host another join.me session tonight. Whoever is on is welcome to join!

Lucid: 10-14-2014 02:09 AM

Woo, I finally caught you online at a time where I'm online too! Well, kinda. I was meaning to go to bed, but then I checked Trisphee, and now I'm stalking your livestream....sleeping is for the weak.

Ginger 10-14-2014 02:41 AM

LOL oh gosh... please don't tell me you were stalking me at an awkward time...
Should have said something :) I would have liked to chat with you for a while


!

AliceinZombieland 10-14-2014 02:54 AM

Just throwing my two cents in here but I've noticed on all the avatar websites I frequent that activity is way down. I'm not really sure why, but I hope your contest helps get activity stirring here again. I'd like to see this place be active; it's always more fun meeting people when there are lots of people to meet!

Ginger 10-14-2014 03:14 AM

Thank you, and I completely agree! I'm happy you found this awesome site and I hope to see more of you around the forums :3

AliceinZombieland 10-14-2014 04:36 AM

You absolutely will. I'm starting to get a feel for this place. I'm looking forward to seeing some of the other regulars.

Ginger 10-14-2014 07:08 AM

Lol it's not too bad really. We have a few dedicated members here. You'll find them sooner or later. ;P

I see you've made yourself a nice first avatar! I'm curious to see what else you'll come up with over time.

Tee hee! I'm teh sneaky. Nothing too awkward, you answered one of Illu's profile comments and then I saw a post of yours about sex. xD

I only watched for a few minutes since it was after midnight and I have to get up early for work, but it looked like a lot of fun!

Aaaaaand, I accidentally edited your post instead of quoting it! xD I fixed it though, haha.

I have a tendency to do that.

Ginger 10-14-2014 07:53 PM

*dies*

I seriously have no idea what that post was. I must have so completely out of my mind at that point. Sleep deprivation does that to a person... sorry about dat haha.

That seems like an easy thing to do, as a mod. It must be one of your special abilities. I'd like to be a mod but soon I will be working a full-time job again and probably with overtime hours. I would love to be able to help out around here though.

Lucid: 10-15-2014 09:09 PM

Now that we have anti bot registration measures in place, there's not a whole lot that needs modding here honestly. While we're not without our quirks here and there, we're a mostly friendly community and I'm really grateful for that. <3
