Most people come to forums because of the discussions that take place in them. And has its been stated before, people aren't posting as much, so lowering the requirements for different features WILL NOT increase the ammount posts on the forum, since they're not enough to encourage people to post anyways in their current settings.
And the biggest tool that we have to attract new members is Word of Mouth. This place won't grow if people don't talk about the site.
I for one vote for none of the existing features change except one: Increase the reward for referals. Right now, you only get a credit multiplier. |
Yes, but I would like to reiterate that we really don’t have trouble attracting new members. We’re always getting new members. The trouble seems to be in getting them to stay as Violent just mentioned.
But than again if we attract more members to the site than there is more of a chance that someone will join and become an active member so you bring up a legitimate point. One thing I think would help as well is to have it one of the first sites to show up when you put in anime forum. That's how I found this site because I remember I was searching for a forum so that I could talk about my anime obsession because where I live anime is just not very popular. When I put that in it was one of the top three to come up. For some reason that doesn't happen anymore.
