Site staff: saying more, doing so much less.
Rye and I have started experiment "Adopt-A-Newbie" as I call it. I read her comments about a non automated message. So I decided to try it with some newbies. So far I've sent out two hello PMs and both have really felt good about receiving them. It makes me all warm inside.
Our out look is, if we make it more happy and fun here they are more likely to stay. Like as I told Rye, it's like if you see two groups of people; A sullen emo group or a happy laughing group, people will most likely go to the happy group. If we're open to newbies and we have a fun community it might get over the whole atrocious ads and people might just come cause we're a fun loving community :D
^_^ I feel all giddy about this. Makes me feel special that I'm helping.
So it looks like the FF forums are taking the biggest pounding. Perhaps the most sad fact of all about that is that FFXIII's activity has decreased, even as we get closer to the release date.
I don't entirely know what to make of the extreme drop in the creative forums. The RP forum used to be such a little shining star too. Second most active forum behind GC from the looks of it and now it's fallen way down.
Also Warned Members: 23% hahahah yeah not surprised. People will still call us Nazis though!
I love your charts BoB.
Now let's see it in pie form.
itt we need more rubah charts
There's at least one thing that exists now, but didn't exist a few years ago at EoFF: strawberry power!
Maybe that's part of the problem:tongue:Quote:

BoB, it appears that your chart is no longer up to date. Rectify this situation, posthaste.
Yeah, my chart love is at least 130% now.
--if not over 9,000.
No one gives a crap about art and writing unless the person looking or reading is an artist or writer?Quote:

Art is subject to fads like everything else. I was really into graphic design about the same time everyone else was into graphic design. Signatures and banners and all that good stuff. Oddly enough, just as I was getting out of that phase, a lot of the resource sites I used started closing down or going on hiatus. I'd say by this point 80% of the hottest brush/texture/etc sites have shut down. On Livejournal, graphic communities dedicated icons for movies and television would get dozens of comments per post. Now a lot of them are inactive or get much fewer responses. Artists fuel other artists. You see someone post a pretty picture, you're gonna want to post a pretty picture. If no one is posting, that's gonna get others to post less as well.Quote:

Don't know about the Roleplaying forum. Never really noticed it to be that active in the first place.
Aye, the Rye is saying something. That's probably it.Quote:

I think the activity here is just nice. Slow, soothing and calm like a holiday resort. Had no idea why these ppl were so anxious back in 2008. :bigsmile:
Must be purberty or something. :chocobo:
I'm so curious what the 20 year chart looks like.
DELLLLLLLLLLL HEEEEELLLLLP
