khunsanuk Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Hi, Yep, agree completely and have mentioned this several times already. Not always easy to get this through to people though "can you remember how many posts were generated in a day?" No, but I seem to recall the highest amount ever is something like 450. Average amount might have been about 300/day or so. I think the reduction is due to several factors: - less members (existing members leaving, few new members) - much more competition (the amount of Thailand related forums is much larger now than a few years back) - issues on this board (cliques, not newbie friendly) - software issues (down time, not-search engine friendly) Frankly, I doubt we'll ever get back to 300 posts/day, but I do think (hope? ) we can at least get above 100 posts/day again.

Flashermac Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Facebook and similar sites have cut deeply into the message boards. The Delphi boards I am on are almost dead. Just happened in the past year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckwoww Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 To me it's like sitting in Golden Bar or Big Dogs with a group of old guys discussing the same stuff and telling the same jokes. Young guys walk past with their Thai girlfriends and their iphones and don't give us a glance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadfly Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 You count on me to post something that will generate controversy and, in response, more posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Scrutinizer Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Hi' date=' "I guess the recent downtimes didn't help neither." Agree. We may very well have even lost some (semi)regular members due to those. I might send out an email to all members once we've moved over and have 'settled' in. Sanuk! [/quote'] Also I would propose a [color:red]new board policy in regard to new members[/color]: Since some time new members are being frequently attacked as being fake, e.g. If this would happened when I joined the board -either to me or other members - would have almost probably left very soon. Therefore my suggestion: New members should be welcomed with open arms and being treated well. LOS newbie questions should NOT be answered with a yawn and some lame comments, but as best as possible. If an old member suspects a fake identity he should NOT attack the new member, but contact the mods who should deal with this quietly. What I liked about the board, when I joined it, was that I could post some really stupid newbie comments (like my girl is different, seriously), without receiving some bored answers or even derogatory comments, but some really good advice. IMHO the board is in dire need of new members. Totally agree with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkoktraveler Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 I would like to see some post in the nightlife section. That section is almost dead. We did have some interesting posters in that section who used to post in the nightlife section but got chased away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzoon Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Everything has its right time and most probably the board time is over, it did happen with others and it may be happening with this one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 We need new members! So everybody do your part and register under at least 3 new names. That should solve the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
