Let's Talk: April

I'm with you. I miss the halo days. Revamp! Everyone get your halo discs out!

Life was simpler back then. And even at the start of the current revamp, we seemed to still be pretty tight knit - all moving from game to game together. Mostly.

Now, everyone's all grown up and moving out. *snif* Well.. Moving out at least.

 

*sniff* *sniff*
Let's do this... LEEEEEEROOOY JEEEEEENKINSSSS!!!

I agree, sincerely. I don't want to raise my neck but I'm in the military and still able to participate during the week whether it's 1-2 maybe 3 times. Granted others will be in the same situation given the reason you just said which is fine.

However, members who do not post at all or choose not to speak out then there is a problem.

Other than that, you're correct and sure why not, let's keep this open a little longer then.

Yeah yeah, I see what you mean. Go forth!

 

Giving a few extra days is no problem. Not like we're on a tight schedule.

As for encouragement.. I think a lot of encouragement could come from the forums simply being an active place. It's a chicken / egg sorta thing. We need activity here to attract more activity here.

As it is members are required to join and post to apply, and theoretically they shouldn't be approved for membership without showing activity in here... But we haven't been enforcing that and we haven't been encouraging that (we even put it in writing last time we talked about this that the specialists of whatever game had recruiter newbies had a responsibility to bring the recruits around the forums, but it doesn't seem to be happening).

Right now, other than grumbling in here I'm not sure what to do to increase participation. One thing - I don't plan on voting Yes on any more applicants who haven't been posting in here. But that's not going to do it alone, especially when recruitment hasn't really been high lately.

 

Hoping to recruit more cool people from the DayZ server when its all set up and opened up to the public.

I tend to generate ts convos based off things I read in the forums. When its brought up, questions are asked, and I refuse to answer. I tell them read the forums. As annoyed as people get sometimes my stubbornness has brought more eyes to the forums. Thats all I can do.

I still have my Halo cd, case, key, and box.

Yeah, I think for me it'll be "Oh, x has been here for a month already? Hold on, let me check how active he's been on the forums - oh I see he hasn't really posted anything... We need to be active in game/TS AND the forums guys, I'm not putting up promotion votes until it happens." Seeing a small section of the community step forward and post their thoughts/opinions or at least rate posts on a topic like this kinda has me going 'ehhhhh....'

Granted, I also think some parts of this discussion deserves a more appropriate area, such as the Member's Only section, but that's just me.

 

Maybe so - call me overly paranoid about how we look in the public's eye if you want. Just don't want to scare off potential recruits from anything we're currently working on and ironing out. I mean, I know when I'm looking to join a new clan/community, I basically go through and read everything.

 

Maybe, that's why I said 'call me overly paranoid if you want'

 

You are very paranoid, indeed.

Anyways, I have been away for quite some time now. So, I am basically new to everything which has happened. That is why I haven't really posted anything.

 

But you're online gaming, right? So stop in and say hi! Hanging in the forum is the low effort way to keep in touch. No sitting in ts talking for ages, just spend five minutes skimming stuff, jump in with a post or two and peace out! If we all gave the forum five minute a day this place would be booming. Instead, about 75% of our members don't give it five minutes a week.

Very true, I'll try to be more active. I actually didn't notice this thread until a day ago. I'll try my best to actually hop on the forums, after being out of the loop for quite sometime. I struggle with that, something which I need to work on.

 

what's a forum?
