Thread: Got To Up My EoFF Interest Again

  1. #1

    Default Got To Up My EoFF Interest Again

    ...yeah. I lost interest in this place for a whole month, and I've somehow convinced myself to come back.

    I joined the Serenes Forest Forums a while back which is probably a contributing factor to me turning my back to EoFF (yeah, I'm a traitor, I know). And what's sad not only for you, but for me, is that I actually trust the pepole there with my real life and talk about it quite frequently (well, mostly in this one member's usernotes), and I'm not playing the whole Mystery Man X role that I do here. Maybe I should just start over here and be a real, actual human being like the rest of you, even if it means I won't stand out or I won't have fun flaunting my secrecy around.

    The thing is, I want to have fun here on EoFF again, but I'm not finding much threads that interest me anymore (especially since there's more sex/alcohol/dirty fun topics than before). I swear, even if strawberry or Pikachu threads start flooding General Chat again, I'll probably post in them quite a bit, because frankly, I find it to be much more ethical fun than all those aforementioned things. I don't know. Maybe that's not actually the problem. Maybe I'm just pointing fingers at things that I think are causing problems, but aren't. I guess the fact that General Chat is one of the only forums that are active, may also be a factor to me leaving. I know that most people here are barely even interested in Final Fantasy anymore, but I find it pretty ridiculous that no new posts will show up in some of the FF Forums for half a week.

    Sorry for all the rambling. I guess in conclusion, I want you guys to talk some sense into me so I start liking EoFF again, or help me find something exciting that I can do here so I can stay active on EoFF.

    Why don't you start some ethical/serious threads about some topics you want to have fun with/explore?

    Also, I know I'm a newbie and this probably didn't apply to me, but I want to geek out by saying my interest in Final Fantasy hasn't waned even slightly since I was 7.

    I find myself posting in fewer threads for the same reason. I cba to make my own though, so I've just resigned myself to posting in fewer threads.

    The best time to have fun on EoFF is when several events are going on. There's been quite a few over the summer that you've missed out on. You could have enjoyed yourself if you had joined in. I like to have fun, but I don't see posting in serious threads and getting myself into heated debates with Raistlin/Yeargdribble/etc is not really my idea of having fun. Some may enjoy that kind of thing, but it's not for me.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    That pretty much sums up my thoughts.

    There was a point there when the writer's corner was getting lots of new stories over a short period of time, so I'm hoping that'll happen again soon.

    Everyone needs a break once in a while.

    Work on frontsite content if you want something to do. [/shameless plug]

    Wtf, you're right. I could have sworn you'd been here for years.

    Anyway, to the OP: I think you're taking your 'comeback' a little too seriously. I drift in and out of these forums every few months, sometimes not posting for months on end. I just post where I feel like it, keep it casual. That's what it's aaaaallll about.

    The great thing about a forum like this is that if you find it to be a bore, you can create entertaining topics or events instead of complaining about things!

    If everyone felt that it was the rest of the community's responsibility to make this place interesting, it probably would have gone down a long time ago.

    When people want to gain more interest in EoFF, I close it down!

    A month? Try four years.

    I suppose finding or starting threads that thrills you, would naturally guarantee in a newfound interest, and perhaps an even more permanent stay.
