Follow us on... missing links?

[Alex_68]

I have read that there will be no change in future (Original thread), so why keep them up there?

 

[Oberon]

Yeah.
I did not create the forum so unless 'the founder' wants any unclickable links way up there (T,YT & FB) removed we'll still keep them there.
Im sure it was his intention to add all that but he seems to have taken a hiatus.

I do not use Facebook nor Twitter but I guess that it must take a lot of time in order to mantain and upgrade a page in those sites. And I'm not sure what is the real efficiency or advantage for this Forum.

 

[Oberon]

I agree.
My view was having a FB page may divert traffic from here and as for Twitter.No idea.I dont use it either.
YT,well we kinda have this started by a former Mod a while back on behalf of ps4forum: http://ps4forum.com/339-playstation-youtube-videos/2411-ps4-unboxing-team-ps4forum-com.html

I really don't see how it could divert traffic, in my opinion people don't care about Facebook when it comes to websites. A better argument for not having them is that who would really use them. A waste of time and resources in my opinion.

As for twitter, unless the site plans on having announcements every day, no point for that either.

Also here, do we stuck? Why?

This Forum is nice and still not dead: why don't we make something to stimulate a new partecipation? Are we all so tired or bored?

I am available if I may help, I have a bit of time: I can use Gimp, I know a bit of HTML and PHP, I can use FTP applications and I know what a Sql is and also can get familiar with a Board CP quite quickly. I have ideas sometimes too. So... I am alive for what I am able to do

I see that most new users come here looking for technical help. Why don't we boost that part of the Forum?

The games list is not upgraded with the new games. Do we miss people maybe? why don't we start recruiting somehow?

 

[Oberon]

People come and go.
Interests come and go.
We are small and I think that's fine.

Like?

As in the game sub forums?
Didnt wanna add to many cause we'll just end up with hundreds of empty forums.
Prob best to only add popular or well known games as they come.

If you want my opinion, I'd say start closing and archiving the dead games forums and keep the more active ones (like Destiny and whatnot). I liked the idea of having them but no one gives a damn about some of the games in there that have been out for a few years. I'd close and archive the ones that haven't had any activity in a while, especially when that while is measured in years. You should see the archived boards over at my place. We had a lot for popular games and other subtopics that were popular at the time but as time went on, had no activity. They got archived or merged into another subforum. When I took over, I decided to merge and clean up the boards to not make it overbearing for new people and make it easier to navigate. I don't go into the games section much just because it's a lot to sift through, especially when I'm on my phone. Might be a good idea to trim some of the fat. Just my opinion though
