Okay here >> https://studentforums.biz/stats/
Forum's statistics and performance had gone bad compared to last May and June 2010 months and this year's.
Why do you think that happened? I mean SF by now should be MORE famous and getting new members.
I need to hear your suggestions about how to make this place more alive and attract more members. What do you members like and think as interesting to have in the forum?
Remember..it all starts by you lovely members and your posts, so don't feel lazy or bored of SF. Try creating more threads and having lots of discussions! =]
A poll is up also.
-
If i can vote for 2 options, then i would go for the last 2 options.
and also, who is left from SF's old members? just few.
another reason, people quit SF after their exams.
-
I really like it here! :D
-
@Abod, I edited the poll so that you can vote again. 2 options as in.
So even if the old members leave new ones should come and take their places.
What do you suggest then?
What about SF's newsletter was it interesting before?
@Romeesa, everyone likes you here too! Hope to see you always posting around sis. =]
-
I didn't know that there is SF Newslettter, never seen it :/
-
First of all, this is mostly due to our personal disputes in the forum. Loads of important members left this place due to silly arguments and bull. (:
Secondly, we're not looking fer quantity but quality. We've had quite a few good quality members in the past year. Fer instance, Amelia, Chingoo, etc.
Finally, we don't want popularity. All we're doing here is giving a service. We just need to avoid silly disputes.
Oh btwww, I think all our regular members get along eachother really well. So it's all cool. We're stable. ::)
-
i just lost interest in posting like i used to do :-\
i have no idea why? :-\

I am not saying we don't have good members this year, in fact every year special members come and special ones leave.
But forums stats fell and this means there is something going on wrong. We are not stable because if we were stable we would still be having the same performance or at least slightly changed.
Yeah so sorry but we always have to try to be better because if we always think we are all cool then we would never get any further!
Yeah crooked :P

@Abood, Ill look for the link for you. =]

Since I joined this forum again last week I always see this beside your name 'Sending a message..' or this 'Viewing their messages..' :P
So what do you think will make you post more again ?

Know why did i mention about the quantity ? Most of the new members joining in don't post. Infact all of them. Nobody really cares, yuh know. People just ask their doubts and get their answers and khalaas. Their work is done. We can't stop the way things are going. Afterall, this is a student forum not some entertainment forum. ::) :P

::) It wasn't that way before.
That's why maybe we lack something..maybe we need to get more interesting ideas into the forum.
We need to hear what the members want. =]

Well, nobody actually left forums before. ::) Let's keep it real. If we get too attached, it's gonna hurt.
Interesting ideas ? Maybe new blood is suppose to bring in that. :P Or we may better get our minds working.
New members don't want anything. :P

-
new members are boring but only some
and some just create an account ask their question and never logs in ever
and also many went to FB no talks at SF
-
Hello :P
-
Well I don't believe anybody is boring around here......but i would suggest newer threads be made instead of the same old ones being replied to.....THAT does get tiring! :'(
But there are several very interesting discussions too.....maybe creating more like those could help ;D

Okay that's a very good suggestion.
I agree to that too. New threads with new ideas are more interesting!
+rep for the suggestion.
@EMO, looooooool so shall we include you as one of the new boring members? :P
I'm surprised I see 2 votes for that so who else other than EMO voted for that? :P
-
I didnt vote for any option 'cause I didnt find any of those options to be the reason for such stats.
I agree with crooked, usually members are active during exams and for their doubts and then they are inactive again. I also did that before but now I prefer being active in the forums.
As for suggestions, what Simon mentioned is good
And maybe a time period should be set for every member, like if you are inactive (doesn't log in at all) for 3 months or 6 months then the account is lost or something.
this might sound stupid but maybe it will make sure that members do log in atleast.

no spamming lad :P

But in anyways those who dnt care will not turn back to this forum after their work is done.
But the point being made here is that how the forum can be made more interesting so that regular members wnt lose their interest and leave. And I agree to saud I dnt feel like posting nowadays:/

We had that thought that year of deleting a member's account if they are inactive for 3 months BUT that is would make the stats even more worse since we will have very few members left in the forum. The more members we have, the more posts we get, the more we get offers from advertising companies and thus a forum makes a profit which is later used to help students enter the universities they want. This is the owner's dream. =]
@Everyone else, we will be having more summer activities. We have A LOT to do this summer by recruiting more staff, creating the newsletter, fixing the problems in the forum and getting new interesting ideas inshAllah.
Still..if you got more suggestions just post'em here. =]

Ok I dnt get anything in my mind right now ::)

Yeah yeah also you have a lazy mind. :P
-
Umm..Okay I dont know if this would fit in but I remember in a forum,for entertainment purpose, a game was created. I aint going into details just an idea of what it was.
The game was like a quiz, the admin/staff made a quiz in a poem like format and teams were made for members who wanted to participate.
There were separate threads for each team to discuss the quiz and all and only the members in that team could see the thread.
The hints for the quiz were posted around the forum and the members would search it and in the end the team would decide an answer and send it to the admin/staff.
There were like 3-4 quiz and the winner team was with the most correct answers and for a certain period the members of that team had a specific colour for their usernames like in SF admins have green and mods red.
So yah it kinda goes like this.. ???

That's because I'm bored now:D and sleepy! And... Nothing more to say ;D ;D

That's a BRILLIANT idea! I really LIKE it!
I'm +repping you twice for that! :D
I'm also passing this idea to the admins/mods lounge to put it into consideration. That's very creative and interesting.
Thanks loads Angel. =]

LOL..Thanks I am glad you guys liked it *As if it came from my creative mind* ::)
All credits to the staff of that forum :P

Maybe we will make you be the one who writes the test since it was your idea if you want. :P Or you can be a participant.

Hmmmm that is a good idea :)....but we must also be sure that the game is large and simple enough for everyone to take part....
and initially, the input will be slow butwhen it catches on it'll be a hit! ;D
How about this: similar to an everyday poll, a picture of a famous place or landmark can be posted on one thread by an admin or mod....anyone who logs on or sees the thread has to guess the name of the place.....and they can be allowed to guess once only.....if the answer is right they can get some points or maybe a plus rep :)
this is just a simple idea....but i believe it might work ;D
