it seems that not long after the last monthlies came out everyone has gotten very quiet, i still see a dozen users in the box under forums but hardly any posting, where what happened guys?

I'm a lurker because I normally don't know if I should drop into a conversation, or I don't have much to talk about. xD;
I try not to butt into things, so usually I don't interrupt threads that already have conversations going. +doesn't want to be the third or fourth or fifth wheel+

It has been quiet. even in the most popular threads =(

School is starting up soon maybe their preparing for that? oxo

Ive been coming on a little more lately.
[im rarely active here]
But the truth is, i dont feel welcomed here.

@Titanic: How is it that you don't feel welcomed here?

I am not sure, I think its school or people trying to get last minute vacations in. A lot of trisphee people are older or college students so it could be going back to work as well.

Been busy, Scuba certification and packing for my move.

Ive posted in the hangouts, always got ignored.
So i made my own hangouts a few times.
They either didnt get any posts, or just plain died.

So i post from time to time in the games forum.

Or i only post during a event.

I think alot of people became lurkers. Something needs to happen to bring us together again...I think its the fact that they feel no reason to post...=shrugs= I dont know I find it I only post when certain people are on but half the time they dont post...

@Titanic: XD I found your hang out, though I thought you had a different one that was named the Titanic or something. I would not mind, and I am sure that the people in the hang outs would not mind if you just jumped in with a comment. That is what I do at least. Though I have to say usually unless you can get on at a time with another poster the conversations don't last since you can't break the double posting rule.

i find it easiest to hang around the jibber jabber during these slow times =(

I lurk most of the time. Nothing has really peaked my interest to bring me to post a whole lot. >>; Hopefully a new event will come along and bring all the members together again. Actively.

It's kind of sad that only events seem to make the place active. =/

True. It is unfortunate, but if it is the only thing so far, we just gotta bank on it. We are still a smaller site (and newer still). It'll take time before a regiment really settles in.

And time for things to get implemented, like games... or different activities that don't rely on attendance of others.

meiz and titanic; post in the chocobo corral? if i am online i /will/ talk to you there, no need to feel like you are intruding or unwelcome

pink; what would you suggest, if anything, to give us a reason to post?

dk; doesn't that only exacerbate the problem though? there are many users who post only in certain places, posting almost exclusively in one place seems like a not-helpful thing to do

saith; what bout a mini event? something like a user-run posting event with prizes?

I really depends on who you want to tailor the event to. I mean, some people like to be active just to talk about site plot developing, others like the event games, others like posting to get the exclusive event items/currency...others like to sell/make/get event art. Who knows.

If I recall, people have tried to run user-based events, and it flops. If I am wrong, then I want to be corrected. When those things do happen, they aren't advertised well and no one knows about it until it's already under-way.

i've run a user event and tried to rais another neither did well, what would you say we do to advertise a user-run event? and what sort of event would get the widest range of users?
