First improvement: We have deleted the Background pics. Now do you feel faster when you get in our forum now?

Suggestion Wanted

Now I found our forum get less posts these days, much less than before. We wanna find the reason or problem, and try our best to improve it.

I always here and do whatever I can do to help MMOsiters. And even more I have posted more the latest news or funny topics than before.
And I know our new Admin: Fintie and other moderators also working hard too.

I know one reason is: Some of MMOsiters are on their holiday.
But too less posts we have got these days, make I feel quite vexation and
When I get in our forum. I find I can do nothing only post new posts. Even no one reply some posts. XD.

Is there anyhing in our forum trouble you?
Can you give us some suggestions?
Or tell me where we can improve our forum?

Humm.. I feel lag when I visit the forum. Do u feel lag too? If u can fix this problem up. I think more players will like your forum
Btw. Why not start a friends invited event? Each one who get in the forum from the special link from the fist one. The first one will get the prize.

I find alot of people seem to be having problems with scammers, I posted A warning in the 2moons forum here: http://forum.mmosite.com/topics/169/200801/02/1858,1.html?time=1199898593

Alot of people seem to feel the same way.
I think people are finding it difficult to maneuver around the forums on mmosite.com without running into a load of spam topics trying to sell/trade accounts THAT DONT EXIST for MONEY!
I'm trying to help out as best I can though, and as it seems, I think this may be one of the problems you are facing!
If you need any more help or suggestions I'll gladly reply & help you out!

I am suprised by how the decline in posters has become when there are so many members(800,000+), hmmmmmmm.

Well, if you could just fix the lag, i think it would make some people happy ^^ I think its the banner about the reader's choice award thing that lags it.

Things that bother me:
Gold Spammers
Post Farmers

Suggestions:
Forum Arcade (with high scores)
-basic idea with a section of the forum linking to a flash arcade.
More thread creation (and involvement from moderators)
Monthly Rewards (ideas below)
-Most Post
-Most innovative poster
-Most popular thread creator
-best blogger
-most helpful member (non mod/admin maybe)
-etc, but rewards should come in MMOgold.
Advertisement on MMO-RPG websites or forums
Prize giveaways?



General Ideas
We need more threads. Most people might not see a thread they can relate with and don't take the initiative to post a new one.
I like how you guys post the video threads. They are fun to look at.

===========================================================================================
I'll post more ideas when it comes to mind.

I agree with hive, we just need more interactivity. Try thinking this way:

"There are so many game forums out there, what would make us use this one over them all? Why would we want to come back?"

...or something along those lines.

We are working on to do a fastest page for users. I believe our programmers will fix this problem up.



Once you found a scammers plz click the Report button above his/ her post to send a message to us. I will go and delete it within one day. As soon as I sit in front of my computer what I often do first is check all your report topic and delete the spam or ad. For example:




lol. Yep. Hope so. We will check the problem out and fix that up! Would u plz give me some time?


We only can use report and the mods' help.. I think the spam are full of everywhere. The more popular we become, the more spammers we will get. T_T.
Use the Report system. And I will ban all the spammers site's keyword.
lol. I'm daimon, eat spammers..


Thanks bro, I will talk with u via MSN about your suggestions. XD


I have recorded all your suggestions and Ideas. Any more ideas?
Thanks for your help.

Umm, this probably won't probably affect how active people are but about the shop, there aren't any practical goods anymore. I mean I really wanted something to buy from there since summer and now that I finally got almost enough gold, the item isn't there anymore... Will they be back anyway? I don't even care if it's the same thing. I want an anime related item like there was a Naruto headband a FLCL shirt and that's all that I know of...

But it also says there that practical goods were only available for the USA but in a forum thread somewhere I read that if Amazon delivers them then it's available...

Anyway I'd like anime related practical goods in the shop but I guess it isn't really important.

It's not a big deal for me but i've seen people on the oficial forums of the games i've been playing that they don't go to mmosite becouse there are advertisements to gold selling companies and stuff like that. Now as far as i know those advertisements are there becouse of google adds(or something similar, just a guess) but if you could get rid of those advertisements i know it will help the site in general, not just the forum.

Now we have reduced all the Advertisement about the Gold Selling site. XD.

I was writing before an electric cut ( power cut ) happened.. Now i have to write all of them again... I'll try to remember what i was saying.. Anyways..
I think the biggest problem against Active Community is LAG ISSUE.
Spam / Adv is not the main problem.. Mods / staff / admin can delete the spams / advs as long as they can access to the forums which means as long as forum is not lagging.
For an example when every page takes 1-2 seconds to load i can easily check many sections and reply / moderate the threads.But when it is taking more then a minute to load a page i cant do that really.

About the Prizes / Events / MMOGolds etc.. I think everything is fine..
MMOSite is givingout lots of things.. And we have nice community here..
No one can farm points / abuse etc.. We are watching, if we detect spam, probably the points will be deleted and user will be warned.If user keeps violating rules this can result with a ban.

A real problem is the inactive game forums..There are lots of them..Where are not enough people to contribute the section.When you go there you see lots of spam topics because the forum has no moderator or it has only 1 mod and he/she is at vacation etc..
This kind of sections are like dead sections and decrease the forum quality.

We need suggestion about this.. How we can get enough players to contribute this inactive forums.How can we get their interrest on that forums.What events etc.. can we do to get activity etc.. Hmm these are the things i remember now.
I need your ideas / suggestions / moves to hit these goals.
Thank you

1: Now I will take care of this.
Coz before there was only one admin --me here. I cant look after some many forum. What I can only do is keep the general forum's updating.

Now I get Fintie help me. So I will ask him to help me to post some nice post in some game board if he find some news to that game. And also, in 2008, I will change some inactive mod

And I'm planning to opened Guild Forum for our mmosite members. When the guild forum availble. We will get quite a lot active members.



2: As I have said: First improvement: We have deleted the Background pics. Now do you feel faster when you get in our forum now?

raidomees, we also wanna add more goods in our shop, but we are looking for the sites with paypal available, we can hardly find them. Can u give us some of shop list? If its safe, we will get cooperation with them.

It is strange. Onrpg doesn't have all these things and MMOsite has a more mature community yet it's as popular as ever!

Suggestion: Yes, I've been asking for this a lot XP Considering the amount of sections you have, it'd be a lot easier to monitor and post if you have a "View New Posts" button. Every other forum has one =X

The shop could use Nexon cards (I only say that because Mabinogi is coming out XD) but I don't think the shop is a problem.

I really don't know what's wrong with MMOsite. Perhaps it just needs advertising?

But if that's hard to buy card with receipt u know. Coz we need to report the receipts to our boss. That's why we use paypal. XD

I have never ever had lag, I don't see how it can occur, the site doesn't have many layers, or banners, therefore it shouldn't occur.

I would agree about the store though, how about a suggestion of lay-z boy chairs? hehe, they would influence alot of people because they are oh so comfy. lol.
Other suggestions may be a larger mix of games, not just MMOs perhaps.
ALso if your working this site through amazon, you should be able to practically sell anything!

Just think about new possible competitions, add lets say new banners that people can use for other forum's signatures which link to mmosite.com, and use that as advertisement!
I think everyone would be willing to help you out with any of these potential things! I know I'm willing to!

P.S - Whenever I encounter Scammers/flamers/Spammers, I Report every single one, that's part of my job.
Also, lol, thanks for using me as your example of how to report!

Dunno if this was proposed yet, but why don't you try more "talent-like" subjects, such as an art, writing, maybe even a place for signature makers and music makers--just like a place to show off all this stuff off--not to mention contests in those follow categories! Maybe for the art and sig contests you could post the winners on the web with a link to download there work, you know so that if someone really likes this drawing someone made, he can convert it to a wallpaper or something.

I want to know what you think of this, I am a member of the famous 'cheeseteam' crap name, but you'll understand why we used that name later.
Anyway, we made videos for games, but put them into a comical sense.
We got over 700,000+ downloads on our famous 41.3rd millenium which spanned over 2 series.
Are most recent project was
The company of Retards legend of unable company.(COH)

Here is the first episode, please let me know what you think of it. Then we may advertise mmosite.com in our next video if you want!

My answer :
Yes daimon.. Before it was taking 2 minutes to open a page now it is taking 15-25 seconds to open a page better but still not totally fixed.
