BBS in General

[AKKuya]

I have spent the last year testing the current users of the forum.  The purpose was to gauge the atmosphere in many aspects.  As the player count has dwindled in the MA, so has the user count here in the forum.  There are still users here active but not in the game.

The single thing the forum lacks is fun. 

There are isolated threads that got over 10 pages of replies.  There are many with not a single reply.

In order to help with gaining more players in the MA, the forum also needs a fun atmosphere.  New and returning players should see a community having fun in the game and in the forum. 

I can't play the game anymore.  I can help here in the forum.

Let's work together here in the forum.  For this thread, let's make a goal of 15 pages of replies discussing how to make the BBS fun and an increase of activity.

At this time of writing it said there were 1898 guests online on the message board. Whether they are real people or robots I have no idea

Most of what you've posted was totally random nonsense. You might have gotten more engagement if you gave us something genuinely fun or interesting and not obvious trash.

  if you gave us something genuinely fun or interesting and not obvious trash.

Fun and Interesting guarantees a quick lock.

Like above using a political gif?

80% don’t bother. They risk falling into a pointless flame war, usually by former players

Pay no attention to former players of over 10 yrs harassing paid players. It’s just our imagination.

Nothing to see here, please move along

yep

and they belong in the oclub...

Watching BBC news this morning..I was going to post a world on fire thread in oclub but why bother..

It would be locked when the usual suspects take it personal and post how they think the rest of us should be responding..

Sneaky. Almost.

[AKIron]

Eagler, if you don't understand your political posts are provocative, including the one you just made, send them to me first and I'll explain it to you.

If you do understand and are just trying to sneak past the mod well good luck to ya.

[Eagler]

Lol OK if you say so..

Maybe it wasn't my post but your two posts that followed mine that are the issue..

Thin skinned lightweights rule here..

Just as an example, not trying to be sneaky here , It's about the same as if I said I was looking at the latest A.F. Branco cartoon and was going to share but SOME here would take it personally....

Disparaging the moderators like that is also frowned upon here.

You are getting as bad as Animl-AW..

Thanks for proving my point..
