Thread: The EOFF Audience

  1. #1

    Default The EOFF Audience

    Ive only been here for about 6-7 months as a registered member, but have been a lurker for about 2 years. And now Ive thought long and hard on the sites members
    The site is called Eyes On Final Fantasy, so its kinda clear on what this sites about. Looking over the forums, the Final Fantasy Aspect is a bit all over the place. I joined cause I like Final Fantasy and wanted to join a FF Comunity. As new members come, people seem to walk over the FF aspect and discuss non-FF related topics which reside on the top half of the forum. How does this site Publisize its self to make people join that dont even want to talk about FF, the Forum now is Like this
    Non-Related FF talk : 65%
    FF Related Talk : 35%
    That is my judgement
    I am not in any way saying this site is bad.
    But it seems the top is taking over the bottem and is slowly going away from its roots.
    Anyone else think the same ????

    Only so much can be said about games. There's more than just games, and we take the aspects of those games and stretch it into something that's almost completely different. For instance the General section could apply to the conversations of the games, as some parts, are just funny and almost pointless, while others would greatly concern eachother or the world itself. So if I put it that way, we're still in the FF world, just meshed in with our own.

    Face it, our lives don't 'revolve' around Final Fantasy. People like to talk about random stuff, what happening in their lives, in the world, express their feelings, show their abilities and gifts etc. If you don't want to be involved in all that, just stick in the Final Fantasy threads. Some people do. I believe it wouldn't be as fun without the non-related FF, but thats just me.

    It's nice to have a mix. General Chat and EotW and the like are very popular, and understandably so - the world is constantly changing, and different people have different things to talk about. While the FF section is also very popular, I guess most people would prefer to have the scope to talk about both FF and non-FF topics.

    I've been a member here for 5 1/2 years. There's no way I could find enough interesting stuff to discuss about Final Fantasy for such a long period of time.

    What you're describing is nothing new.

    I go to the FF forums once a new Final Fantasy comes out, really. I don't even need to go there for FF7 help, as I'm friends with a lot of FF7 whizzes and I know about gamefaq.com now. xD And yes, sadly, this is my first time playing FF7.

    I'm probably one of the only members here who didn't join because of FF and I almost don't even visit the FF sections unless there's a reported post.

    I blame you! And your speaking of the French language!

    Believe it or not, there are some members who actually hate FF, but joined just for the heck of it. But they were all killed. I mean died. Of natural causes.

    I joined EoFF for FF, but after about a year I was just tired of seeing all the same topics over and over again, but as I really liked General Chat, I stuck around.
