As time goes on i notice since ive been back on this site that the forum posts have become few and far between and the topics are not much to be admired(im not criticizing all...just most.) I am worried that the reason people are really here has changed from learning and sharing real knowledge to role playing. If anyone else feels the same way please post here. Im not trying to start a big debate. Im just trying to figure out who is truly here to learn.
As always i offer up my knowledge and experience to those who wish to learn. I learn from each and every person i teach. Message me if any of you have any questions that you have yet to find a answer to or if i can help anyone in any way. After all...this is how people were on the site when i joined. I hope to one day get back to that.
May the night show you all its darkest blessings,
Adon
If you notice i referred to the lack of forum posts. Not the lack of members. There are more active members on here then ever and very little serious forum posts. I did not start this to debate or to attract any smart remarks.
She is right though.
Generally the active members who get on here
only get on for the Chatter or for a quick look at the topics.
Teens and the youngers are busy getting ready for school,
clinging to those last days off with their friends,
and other teenage/child stuff.
When they get online they are generally tired
and just want to keep updated,
else they may not be getting online at all.
I'm sure activity in the forums will increase
once people have more time and more energy to spend here.
That most likely being after the first month of school,
once the kids have reintegrated into their schedules.
I agree. however, i did post two topics in the forums that I, at least, thought were worth looking into, yet no one knowledgeable on the subject replied. The ppl who did were trying to help, but in the one case, didnt seem to be well-versed in alchemy, as i was talking about in it. It seems like only a dozen or so ppl actually go around and reply to posts, otherwise nothing. One of those would be you Dae :). I have also seen several posts that were never replied to. I could see how that would be discouraging for those who would consider starting a topic.
Thanks for pointing out my activity, Krim. I find the forums less risky then the Chatter. Speaking of which, I believe most people prefer the Chatter since using it means you are more likely to receive a quick reply.
That is true. I do find it annoying sometimes when ppl wait like 15 min to send a reply via mail, but hey they have a life i guess lmao. And in forum, well, who knows how long itll take! So it makes sense that everyone is using chat, ecspecially since some of the mods are rather knowledgeable to boot.
How true. Thats why society is in the mess its in. They want everything of the best quality, with the least amount of time. 'Good things come to those who wait' and almost noone does. If more ppl would take the time to read what ppl post and offer worthwhile advice, then perhaps more ppl would use the forums. If.
I have to totally agree with you Adon. I have not been a member too long, but I too have noticed a lack of depth in most of the forums.If ppl want to role play they need to do so on yahoo messenger in my opion bc it is those that do this that hurt the integrity of this site. I too am here for the purpose of learning myself and teaching others what I know. As for the relavance of summer and the number of posts, if school is indeed a factor for less overall activity of the younger members here maybe the ones that at least use this site solely for role playing should be sentenced to an eternity in school, ne thing to keep them away from here, lol.
