Is FST dying?

[DanB]

Recently I have noticed that there are fewer and fewer members online and its taking longer and longer for new new replies to turn up to posts :(


Are there any plans being made behind the scenes to attract more members or is it just a case of oh well? :unsure:

I'd hate to see the forum dissappear, is there anything we the members can do to help?

[{I}{K}{E}]

You see the 'Archive' links @ the bottom of the page?
Krohn explained those will bring more members because it had something todo with more google search results. But I dunno if that is already activated/working

[DanB]

All those archive links seem to do for me is to do the 'lo-fi thing' that it does on ipb :blink:

Like the board but without the layout

[rookiecrd1]

As for the number of posts and members, it is actually the same from before we left IPB. It has consistantly been picking up since the swtchover, and we are getting more and mroe traffic from google. Remember that the board now counts visits from the past 15 minutes instead of an hour like IPB was doing.

I am basically just waiting on Martin to get some more time to make some changes to both the forum and the main site. Everything is running smootly now, and that was our top priority.

Brian

[DanB]

Thanks Rookie, thats good to know :)

[100%]

:(
My Internet is down....

some asshole:ph34r::01: didnt pay the last two months.....

so i have the pleasure of rare and annoying visits to InterVeb Cafes - (they dont even serve coffi mofos)

So yes DanB send me some cash and ill pay my bill:P
i just paid it so give it a few days....
in the meantime offer free hotmail to everybody you meet on the street if they join fst

[brenda]

I've being coming here less since the switchover because I just dont like the appearence of the board, its gives me a headache.

I was also unhappy that the I had a thread closed once with no explaination. I queried this with every admin and mod and was never told why. I figured that if my contribution to this board doesn't even warrant a little repect then my presence would not really be missed.

However I do love lots of aspects of this board
- the community
- the people (even the d***h****s)
- the way it can cheer me up when I've had a miserable day
- the fact that i know i can log on at any time of the day or night and just fool around if I want too

[SeK612]

I understood the archive thing to just be in a formatt that suits search engine bots more so they can spider it easier (leading to higher listings in searches etc).

I don't find I need to visit FST that much anymore. I used to to check up on how K++ was doing and look around for help. On the whole I find I can solve more P2P problems by myself and if I have trouble with specific software I just go to their forums for help. The verified sections here are good but there are plenty of other sites that offer a similar thing.

[100%]

YES
This forum is dyeing..its hair

give it time

ps. Brenda hang in there

[bujub22]

yes and the reason why rule 12 ;) amongs others.........

[RealitY]

Cant Say...

[Rip The Jacker]

Yes, it appears that way.

[bigboab]

It seems to be a general trend on most Forums. Because they are 'dying' everyone is looking for 'small' but reasonably busy/friendly places to be. This is where the Admin/Mod earn their keep. Look around and see what is attracting members to other forums and adopt accordingly. :)

[100%]

in relation to what you just said BigBoab - isnt fst now a "'small' but reasonably busy/friendly place" ?

[bigboab]

in relation to what you just said BigBoab - isnt fst now a "'small' but reasonably busy/friendly place" ?
Yes it is slowly becoming that. :) But it was once a large and friendly place.:(

[Tifosi]

Yes, I do believe it is

[DanB]

Yes but does one want it large if that is because it attracts the wrong sort.


Attracting any one would be good atm :pinch:

[Jon L. Obscene]

I been here for 18 months, you know how many threads asking is this place dying I seen? :rolleyes:

That should answer the question :)

It's not dying, it's recouping, if everyone just stopped moaning and carried on as we used to then there would be no problem, only the members can kill a forum :)

Jonno :cool:

[DanB]

Nice bit of optimism there Mr Obscene

[Jon L. Obscene]

I'm always optomistic Dan :)

I just don't see how it's dying, yeah ok it's been quietish of late, but the main concensus here is because some of the "Big" Names as such are gone everyone thinks we are losing members, but there are new people coming in, like I said, the only people who can make or break a forum are the members, whether or not we are here, it does'nt matter to the actual wedsite itself, it will still be here, but the members fuel it, it's down to them to keep it flowing, the Admin keep it running, the mods keep it tidy and in order and the members keep it alive, as long as there are members........how can it die? :)

Jonno :cool:

[natedogg]

yes its dieing because u guys still havent changed the front page :rolleyes:

[{I}{K}{E}]

yes its dieing because u guys still havent changed the front page :rolleyes:

I think Rookie is waiting until Krohn has more time. Be patient and keep clicking the adds daily ;)

[Peerzy]

hasnt it been like 1 month already.... just seems like Krohn is dragging it on. Is this gonna be the new anti-spam?

[tesco]

All he's gotta do is take maybe half an hour a week and make some noticeable changes.
He is getting paid after all. (right? :unsure: )

[krome]

yeah where did all those members go ever since they change to the new board......... Vacation maybe? :blink:

[hobbes]

I would say that the forum is dying at an alarming rate. Those in the UK may not notice this as much because you guys ARE the board. When you go to sleep at about 7:00 my time, the board just sits there until morning. Last night I saw 8 people online.

When is the last time we got a new impact player, particularly in the DRawing Room. I'm tired of listening to people whose opinions I am already familiar with.

To Rookie, I think that the people are more likely to post if you displayed the active members in 45 minutes. When you see 8 people on at 10 pm, you just don't bother to post. Also, when it gets low and you are 1 of 3 people in the lounge, people start to call you out to post. I don't want to post that way.

Although it may seem odd to ask for this change, it really might make a difference, based on human psychology.

Any belief that the board is picking up is absolutely delusional.

Although I very much doubt that our hobbes is some sort of Psychologist, I 100% agree with him. It sucks when you see there's only 3 people online, and you say to your self, F*** it, it's not worth posting. And ya, change the front page :ph34r: .

[Jon L. Obscene]

@Hobbes...... :crying: You're bored with my opinions? :(

I do agree to some extent with what's been said, but if you go thru life glass half empty then things do look bad, at this point in time I was the last person to post in the lounge, this was an hour ago, so yes, the board has slowed, but FFS it's not dying :frusty:
If you guys worked in a business which you loved and it hit q uiet spot, would you dump it and say "Oh well, it's dying" or would you keep it alive as long as you could?

And could someone point out to me the problem with the front page? :huh:

Jonno :cool:

[100%]

http://www.filesharingtalk.com/

now try to get into the forum via that page

[DanB]

Or see how to up to date it is


I like the Halloween skin though :01:

[Jon L. Obscene]

@15%.........It will take you 10 seconds to change your link to http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/index.php?
Which is a hell of a lot quicker than it would take to change the index link :)

@Dan.........There are other skins? :o

/me goes to look :01:

Jonno :cool:

Edit@ Dan........Where? :huh:

Okay how aboiut this then Jonno, you're a n00b you google filesharing talk and it takes you to the front page - how are you going to know what to change the link to? :unsure: Put it this way, I unfortunsaately lost all my bookmarks last week and I had to get Rossco to give me a lnikto the board or else I was unable to get back on to it

[Jon L. Obscene]

Actually I just pwned both of you, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=file+sharing+talk

Google, 1st link is the one I posted above, no idea what you found :huh:

http://hometown.aol.co.uk/Jonraddon/pwned.JPG

:01:

Jonno :cool:

[DanB]

Well thats changed since Wednesday :blink:


Well that makes it 1-1 between us so far today Jonzo

[Jon L. Obscene]

No way, how did you pwn me? :dry:

And it the google search has nothing to do with Admin, that's down to bots to update, admin has no control over what comes up in google except to limit the bot to what it can and can't see :)

Jonno :cool:

btw Jonno, check out this google search http://www.google.com/search?q=filesharingtalk&sourceid=firefox&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

We're both right ;)

[Jon L. Obscene]

Bah, it depens how you type it, if you type spazzy macgee like your space bar is broke then yeah :lol:

Nah like I said, the admin can't do anything about that, they have an automatic redirect link, so they have done everything they could to fix the problem :)
Well, far short of actually changing the link itself, but then the new google search wont work, it's 6 of 1 and half a dozen of the other :frusty:

Jonno :cool:

[Virtualbody1234]

Some Forum star you are, arguing against someone who is standing up for the board :rolleyes:

And like I said, it's a catch 22, if you change it now then all searches will be wrong, given a few weeks left how it is, all the results that come up first will be the correct link :)

:lol: You weren't standing up for the board you were standing up for yourself.

The point is that that link http://www.filesharingtalk.com/ is what is advertised on most sites that link to us and the first result on my google search. You try getting anywhere form that front page

Admittedly if you had the index.php? bit to the end of you get redirected but thats not the point for newcomers is it :no:

No. The google search won't change. It will always have www.filesharingtalk.com as the first item when searching for filesharingtalk.

[Jon L. Obscene]

erm excuse me but as the bots come and go and the new link is used more, the meter tags will change and the old results will sink as the new ones rise thru popularity :)

@Dan........No, I'm standing up for the board, I get nothing out of this except a place to go and have a giggle with me mates :01:

You gotta click stop if you go to that page in IE...now what noob is going to know that? i'd just get annoyed and find a different forum.

and for fuck sake no java script is working for me in firefox anymore. :angry:

[Virtualbody1234]

erm excuse me but as the bots come and go and the new link is used more, the meter tags will change and the old results will sink as the new ones rise thru popularity :)

I don't think so but even if that is the case then we would need traffic to make that change happen. Now there's a real catch22.

I still think that the actual www.filesharingtalk.com will stay the first on the list because it's the closest the the word (the actual word filesharingtalk).

[Jon L. Obscene]

Click stop?
It takes you to the homepage like most links do :blink:

[Jon L. Obscene]

erm no, I'm on IE now, the Comunity link works fine

A great and active online community

I reckon filesharingtalk.com will though :P


Well arent you the lucky one Jonno, everyone else that tries to use the community link gets it buggering up :rolleyes:

[Jon L. Obscene]

@Rosco....No because googlebot will no longer use that link, so it will be picking up the keyword "filsharingtalk" from the new link :)

@VB........How much? :) and how long? I say it will be different within 4 weeks :)
I'm not saying the old link wont be there but I am saying there will be a direct link to the forum it will be with the new link and will be higher on the list :)

Actually thinking about it, I don't know what's wrong with it now, it takes you to the home page :blink: this forum is only part of the fliesharingtalk.com site :unsure:

@Dan......It's slow admittedly, but it is on my aol too this morning, on IE everything loads, just a bit slow :)

Ok this is an impossible argument cos it works for me but not for you, so no more can be said, I hope your problem gets fixed :)

Ok the wager...

If www.filesharingtalk.com/vb3/index.php? appears above www.filesharingtalk.com in a google search for filesharingtalk in 2 months (if we're still here ;) ) then I will publicly apologize to you.

If www.filesharingtalk.com stays above www.filesharingtalk.com/vb3/index.php? then you'll publicly apologize to me.

Care to wager on these terms?

Ya well its almost as much fun, to sign on here and see who's on moderation ,or what posts are closed . Shame isn't it? Good god I'm even posting in joke world .

[RealitY]

I havent resorted to posting in Joke World yet although Ive been tempted lately. Anyway after stopping the front page and clicking Community, which should be fkin Forum ffs, it takes quite awhile to get here, to long and most likely Ide have closed the page by then but if I actually had made it that far I may have actually waited I guess...

[Mïcrösöül°V³]

I still come here, but just not as much as i used to. cuz i downloaded the forum posts into my brain, and now i know everything about everything and nothing. Still fun and informative tho

[kaiweiler]

I took a long break for the forums for a while. I come back a few times a day now though, but mostly just to Hardwareworld.
I think FST will live on....

[silent h3ro]

I only pretty much go to Gameworld. This forum is incredibly small and takes forever for help. If you go to the TorrentBits forum and keep refreshing on a pole u will see like 5 more people who took the pole out of like 15,000 people. That forum is huge. I think FST should be a Bittorent tracker. :)

[Busyman]

I post here while I'm doing something else like my music.

I remember when I came before it was more fun and only frequented the filesharing questions, tips, and problems sections.

Now I come here for entertainment only.

I've noticed many members have gone to other forums and come back every blue moon.

I will probably be gone for awhile soon because I'm moving into a bigger house and will have tons of work to do.

I will also be with my future wife. :D

you definately bring some taste in here.

[thewizeard]

No the KLB/FST is not dying, but like a well that is clogged with mud, it needs periodically cleaning. In long established institutions changes are necessary to prevent things from stagnating...I suppose

I still see the members, on-line, that have made this such a great community to belong too... :)

I do miss the invision look though..

Keeps me coming back! :) Funny tho I'v been on this forum for over a year and just discovered a forum called the Drawing Room .So there is hope for us . :lol:

I mean it must put some poor nOob off that found our forum then ask's ,How do you format xp. Only to be redirected to the right forum or flamed by Senior members. Never to stalk our forum again! :(

(as if by magic....a Mod appears!)

Thankyou for your helpful comments... :lol: :lol: :lol:

I would think that whoever removed the thread, did so, because it was not exactly a welcoming first thread on the board. :dry: (If I had thought about it, I might have come to the same conclusion).

Even if the content had become more positive, its title was not very encouraging. :no:

[100%]

you may delete this thread for me Sara

[Rick Phlegm]

Or maybe just a little too close to the truth for comfort. ;)

Sorry Sara , but I speak of the outher thread? :whistling

here you go Peat

[Jon L. Obscene]

It's been moved to the lounge to be shreaded by the dogs :01:

Jonno :cool:

[peat moss]

here you go Peat


Sorry ,15% Thought all was closed , now I'm confused! Your one of the many I respect on these board . So :whistling How you doing? :lol:

[sArA]

This thread is fine in the lounge 15%, its not the first one people see....;)

I am as aware as everyone else that the forum is very quiet.:dry:

Rick...it doesn't matter about scoring points on whether its true or not. (Why does it sound like you are gloating? Do you WANT the board to die?)

The real 'point' is trying to encourage not discourage people from visiting.

Surely the first thread on a board should not say 'Is FST dying?'

Peat...I had no problem with the content of the thread, its fair enough discussion, just where it was. And no...it wasn't me.

It was me me i requested that that this particulare thread - the one we are in now got deleted or closed.
Instead the one up there got moved
which in after thought is much better for board moral*

ok

I'm not gloating, it's just that the censorship seems to be getting pretty terrible, with anything uncomfortable being deleted or closed

You know I was being brutaly honest , big mistake big! :rolleyes:

[bigboab]

Why are we talking about this board dying. Take a look at the other boards used by a lot of members here. They are running with about one fifth of the regular members this board has it stands at the moment. If they are lucky. I dont hear any talk of them closing down.

[sArA]

Ok guys, I merged the threads, as there was some relevant stuff on the other thread too. :)

[100%]

you dont get it
there are 2 threads with the same title
one in lounge
one up there
i asked if the one in lounge (the one i made) be closed
by some error "they" moved the other one ok
it is all a mistake
my apologize to everybody

EDIT
man im going nuts - the next thing i see both threads are merged

anyway thanx for the compliment

[sArA]

Oh I give up :blink:

Strange.

Those boards (Rikk's, Jonno's, The Moderation, etc) all have one thing in common though.

An admin who is present and seems to give a fuck about their respective boards.*

(Other than the occasional half-hearted post saying everything is okay so-and-so is busy but will fix the board soon...)


*Obviously I had to hire an admin to give a fuck about my board ;)

It would be a start. Someone who had a bit of passion for the board and getting set on track again. This board is broken as evidenced by the front page.

I doubt this board will die of lack of interest on the side of the members. More a lack of interest by the owner(s).

Don't be surprised if you find a 'For Sale' sign in the backyard and eviction papers through the door sometime in the future.

[cpt_azad]

Is FST dying?

Yes.

Is cpt_azad the greatest?

Yes.

Is Withcheese, DanB, Ziggy, Maskawaih, HippyChick, RTJ, IKE, Singaboiy, muchspl2 and many others also great for keeping this dying place alive this long?

Yes.

Will you give me 1000000 dollars?

Yes.
