How can we encourage players to participate in Flamebate?BirdofPrey Posted:
Now you see you know absolutely nothing about me. All you’ve seen is me come in and offer some opinions on why your forums might not be popular. Your response as you don’t agree, or are too simple to see an alternate point of view, is to attack that person. Do you still wonder why perhaps you don’t get as many quality posters here as you’d like? Why it’s a bit low brow? (view post) |

Indeed and I’ve looked at some of the stickies. Not every single one as I get bored. lol That said though I would wager I read a lot more than most people do before I jump into forums.
Having looked back through again I think my first impression was that it was allowed in a far more widespread manner than it actually is. Another issue I think I had is that there seem to be a lot of in-jokes based around the game. Which isn’t really a problem as you’d expect it but again I found it a little confusing. For example I have tried the INCIT thing a couple of times and people have written captions that other people loved and yet to me it seemed completely unfunny and irrelevant. Now having played the game further through I have then experienced things that the jokes were based on and hence they make more sense. As said this isn’t really a problem but it did create a feeling of being on a different wavelength to the people here and hence could make it more difficult for people to engage with any discussions if they experienced the same thing. These really are just fairly standard things when joining a new, unfamiliar forum environment.
I think partly this is just me getting the wrong end of the stick and putting more emphasis on the role play side of things and believing it to be more widespread than I thought. Also though, now forgive me if there is one and I missed it, there doesn’t seem to be a simple ‘introduce yourself’ thread. Something so simple and yet it’s an instant start point. Somewhere people can feel relaxed to just start off getting a sense of the forum interaction. Particularly if they are possibly worried about being flamed elsewhere on the boards. (view post) |

As someone who has just started playing the game I think this is wrong. I’ve participated in many forums and still do but at first glance I find this one quite confusing. Because people are quite often posting in character in some areas and then not in others it seems hard to find where those lines are drawn. Now when you know the forums and it’s members I’m sure it’s easy to know peoples characters and when they are joking/role playing or being serious. But as a new arrival you have none of that knowledge and the whole place feels very inaccessible. I’ve looked around a little for the last couple of days and not really found anywhere I felt I could step in. The reasons I posted here are from what I can tell this is a serious non flame area, so I could make a serious point, and also I have come into the forums as I would like to seek advice but I certainly would remain on the forums after if I felt comfortable so I felt the post I’m replying to was wrong.
Now I’m not sure you can solve this problem of confusion as it is the nature of your forums, you like to let people role play their characters, but I do see it as a problem to encouraging people to step in and join. Except perhaps for the idiot type posters people have discussed as they will just step in and start trolling and flaming people as thats what they really want to do anyway. So you may well attract new people, but it’s probably not the type you really want to create a good set of forums. They might be discouraged by the confusing nature of what is allowed in different areas. (view post) |

Grand Theft Auto IVIt should be awesome. I’m definitely going to be getting it.
My favourite was Vice City too. I loved cruising around in the white Lambo with the 80’s soundtrack. So many good tracks that were just perfect for night driving in the game. I liked Tommy as well and getting to kill Lance was great as he was an annoying twat. (view post) |
