anyone else feel that less and less postings are being made and RS is going down hill?

[xilley]

no?

[Boostaholic]

feels like there used to be a lot more happening.

[EmperorIS]

probably because the initial demographic RS is getting older and busier

now theres only cunt kids like 160 km larry chu

[MG1]

I notice it.

[SkinnyPupp]

Traffic is higher than ever, and increasing each month. If anything, it's just a bit more concentrated, which is a good thing imo

i wish the automotive section gets more traffic ... the certain brands one

[MG1]

traffic as in lurking or actual posting and participating

[cliffhanger33]

Posting seems a tiny bit less active than just a few months ago but I haven't been around to make this claim accurately. I dont think its significant.

[Matlock]

I click on new posts a lot, while procrastinating. :alone:

[invader]

Need more reading material other than the official canucks thread.

damn don't remind me of my age!

Feels like RS needs some RS drama like the good old days.

[TRDood]

That's because no one epic has shown up yet.

I say bring RangeRover back.

Release the trolls?

[LiquidTurbo]

Overtime I find that I frequent different subforums. For example I hardly go into the Automotive Forum anymore.

Probably my old age.

Who let the trolls out......... uh, uh, uh, uh

[mr sinister]

Well I personally don't post often out of fear of being failed. Like I haven't failed enough things in my life, getting more fails on RS would just be devastating. Haha just kidding

[SkinnyPupp]

It is just more focused now. People tend to just go to the main topic of the time. Right now it's obviously the Canucks thread. Before that, it was the Japan earthquake thread.

Really it's up to you guys to make other sections more active ;)

I'd like to pare things down a bit, but most others resist that notion.

Fixed :fullofwin:

[SkinnyPupp]

Skinnypupp has pwned me with facts and knowlege so many times, I wish there was some way to get even. Too bad mods can't be failed here, or else I would be able to show him!!! Grrr! Instead, I'll try to make fun of him for not failing by making troll posts in completely off topic threads all over the place! Even though it's annoying and may eventually get me banned, I am still going to do it! Because I am so mad that I get proven to be an idiot over and over again by him! GRRRRRRR
Fixed.

that doesnt work with me since we're normally on the same side :P

[!SG]

we monitor traffic monthly,

RS has grown steadily 20-25% comparitively to the previous years.

you see less post, only because we've made RS more visible to the general public. however existing posts are concentrated on certain areas of RS.

As RS grows, we all grow with it, however, to limit growing too fast and bursting like many other sites, we try our best to retain our original roots. That is why we don't simply eliminate areas of slow growth on RS. If RS growns too fast, and we collapse because of it, some of us will have to pick up the pieces of whats left. Some of us have more at stake.

RS is my 3rd internet venture, and ive applied and learned what ive failed from previous ventures and tries, combined with fresh ideas like from skinny. Yeah i sound more older and my approach towards RS has changed as well, comes with getting older, and comes with pride knowing you've defied the odds and everyone elses negativity towards RS.

In the end of the day, i can sit back with everyone involved and say, "meh, they wrong"

I for sure became less active because my new job no longer allows me to surf during work. And I'm exhausted once I'm home. Guess that's part of growing up (old).

Its busy during work hours but slow at night. I guess everyone on RS has a kid now... LOL

[RiceIntegraRS]

Isnt the reason why theres less post now than previous years is because of the Thanks and Fail Buttons. When someone makes a funny or intelligent post people usually comment on how much they agree or how much it made them laugh. Now its just one touch of a button

Not afraid of being failed... I feel like I'm wasting my time going through the motions of posting something well thought out only to have someone hit the fail button with no response why. I dunno about anyone else but that's the main reason I don't post much anymore.

[BNR32_Coupe]

this is like the 3rd thread ive read about revscene traffic/culture depleting.

i think this website is positioned primarily as an automotive enthusiast website. so when the trend shifts away from cars, the traffic shifts with it. to compensate, revscene has diversified their forums into other areas.

lastly, a mod will never say traffic is dying even if it's true. its in the websites stakeholders best interest to always present the website as a growing, thriving community. this is necessary for generating advertisement revenue, which churns the whole website's operations

[EmperorIS]

wow how tiny and pathetic ur balls must be to be scared of fails

someone fail this cat for me

[Culture_Vulture]

Ever since the mods became more strict in moderating, and the introduction of the FAIL system, people tend to post less stupid shit anymore. Which is probably why it feels so much slower--people just make more productive posts and there's less to talk about (figuratively speaking).

[BNR32_Coupe]

not to step on shoes or anything but removing the fail button around christmas time was a good move. as shown in this thread, people are obviously concerned about being failed for posting something dumb. if people post less, theres less conversation, less search phrases, less appearances on google, less traffic, less advertising revenue, also less work for the mods. so if they're being paid a salary then their efficiency just got lowered. inb4igetbanned

the fail button doesn't increase website quality by having regular users discourage shitty posts. it lowers website quality. any publicity is good publicity. there's a community run control for discouraging shitty posts already: the report button.

armchair sideline big time website administrator consultant ftw!

[flagella]

Then stop crying like a crybaby and trolling like a trollbaby :troll:

Yea, because you lack a fail button to remind you how idiotic you can be sometimes.

Too much cyber-bullying on revscene. Members are scared to get failed and think theyre going to get beatdown at our meets. Arash, hyde and the 14 dolla balla have probably committed suicide because of this. I'm surprised timpo is still alive.

This is only my first thread I've seen this... but that's not surprising given that I spend 90% of my RS time in the Canucks thread now. I'm on the fence about the fails. I have to admit I care about them even if it's just the internet. It doesn't ruin my day or I lose sleep if a bunch of strangers on the internet give me fails for my post. But it does make me moderate myself before I start spewing garbage. That being said, I think people trolling will troll regardless. And people with stupid comments/threads will be posted anyway. Most of the BEST threads are from new members that are stupid to begin with, and has nothing to do with a regular member being too scared of posting something. So if the fail button was removed, a surge of retarded-ness won't suddenly skyrocket from smart members that typically post non-failing things.

I don't mind the fails, because if you think it's a possibility that your post might get failed, it probably will.

[dark0821]

Who is 160km Larry and RangeRover?
Larry Chu, aka XtC-604:
-drives a light blue S2000
-drives like he owns the road
-general consensus is that he's a douche
-in this (http://www.revscene.net/forums/showpost.php?p=7019973&postcount=165) post of his, he claims that he averaged 160km/h during a cruise on the Sea to Sky highway, hitting a max of 220 - basically the kind of attention we DON'T want when a bunch of RS members are cruising together.

And RangeRover is dtox89's girlfriend. dtox89 comes from a wealthy family and drives/drove a Lamborghini. RangeRover appears to be materialistic, but denies it. She also starts threads such as this: Do you guys want dtox to come to the car meet? (http://www.revscene.net/forums/do-you-guys-t640075.html?t=640075) Also got in a shouting match with Marco911. Total attention whore, in my opinion.

i was just thinking.
maybe we could have a car review thread or chat.
there's always people asking for advice on cars and what they think of certain cars (i have myself).
maybe if we have one of these chats,those who have a current model of a car, or have just test drive one, can post their own review / thoughts for everyone to see.
also, everyone can share their experiences / thoughts on the car at hand.

im seriously just throwing this idea on the table haha, maybe i'm the only one here that thinks this?
cheers
