Title: Come On People! Post!
Flash Leopard - April 13, 2005 06:51 PM (GMT)
Ok, over 90% of the people who come here don't post. about 9% actually post every 2 days and a measley 1% post daily... but people mainly drop in, then 10 minutes later drop out.
if you want BBS Back up and running then why the hell don't you post?!?
I'm gonna tally how many people come on here (when I visit) and don't post (since I posted this)
||
Two
The ones I saw:
Karou
Dark Phoenix

I post! And the only person on right now is me! I try to get here everyday unless I'm busy.
GuardianX - April 14, 2005 01:02 AM (GMT)
I don't know if you know this but I think 15 people or less actually want BBS back up. And if you've seen the topics lately, there isn't much to post about since many already have posted in those topics or the topics are "what did you get" topics.
Azurith_Kironama - April 14, 2005 02:11 AM (GMT)
Um, hello! Daily poster right here! And I spend more then 10 minutes in this forum! Man. This is gettin' really bad. -__-

¬_¬ Can you read? I said ill post the ones that do not post a single then when I AM ON. And its untrue that its only "what did you get" topics, I made those three to HELP the board, and only two people have posted in them.
Karou - April 16, 2005 11:36 PM (GMT)
Well you know, since there aren't many people, people won't reply to them. Common sense. It's great that you're trying to get people to post, but if there aren't people, there aren't going to be new posts or even posts. Because the topics right now are all like spam to me, well in the chit-chat ones that is.

Time Zones are a factor you have to consider as well too though. And I know you made those three topics to help the board, but there doesn't seem to be much discussion that can be derived from it if people just suggest stuff.

exactly. thats what I put in those topics.
¬_¬ why is it only beyblade that gets the pushy people? Seriously, they complain about dubbed episodes, english/american companies ect. look at pokemon. they praise everything that the dubbing companies do. same with yu-gi-oh ect.
People take this game too seriously.

Stop quoting Tamer Brad, and listen. :P
Since Takara has put the beyblade production on hold, there won't be any news. No news ----> Nothing to fill the Beyblade section with, except OLD news, that we all(ok, most of us) know before. So this concludes with the following: BBS was VERY unfortunate to "collapse" in this time period, since news attract more people, and there are no news to spit out. Soon, all there will be left, is the Chit-Chat section, which I think is the only thing that will keep people here.
This is the truth seen in my eyes...
Flash Leopard - April 19, 2005 04:55 PM (GMT)
I don't want my guides to spit out new news, I want them to give things to new beybladers. I want them to get people into Beyblade, and I want people to understand what beyblade IS.

Yes, I am aware of that, but I mean the general beyblade-section. ^__^
Still, I'll try my best to help with them Guides, even tho I ain't precicely in the mood for it.
Flash Leopard - April 19, 2005 05:23 PM (GMT)
lalala Ok. Don't blame you for not being in the mood. I'm considering actually leaving if nothing happens.
Ancalagon - April 19, 2005 05:34 PM (GMT)
Hmm.... I might leave too, but I will be back when Beyblade is back in production ^__^

Ya, thats pretty sad. It's like people really don't care one way or another. When bbs had a site they were at the top of every topsite, now under 20 people on the is forum don't care. I would like to see it come back, I'm pretty much out of blading, but I still think there needs to be fansites out there for new bladers.

BBS is dead, you should stop trying to revive it. You have to see the truth.

me too
I tried... but I think it should finally close.
Summoner Yuna - April 20, 2005 07:56 PM (GMT)
I am online daily, but there is nothing to post. Honestly this whole forum is spam and the only place that is even being used is the "General" Section of the forum. The only froum that get any slight good pointful use out of it is the Graphics section and it's slowly dieing.
We have nothing to post.
Kai-V - April 20, 2005 08:56 PM (GMT)
Sometimes, my thoughts do seem to wander around the 'Let's give it up'. But then I come back to what I believe, which is fully against that.
When the mind is seperated in two parts, one does not know what to think.
Karou - April 21, 2005 12:13 AM (GMT)
The message board is dead. Everybody knows that. But I think if we have the actual beyblade site for it, people will want to talk more about it and then MAYBE people will come back to the message board.

Sorry, I know some peoples around here tried very hard to revive BBS but it's over.

I didn't forget that. But hasbro aren't in all that great. None of my shops actually sell beyblades anymore, and I'm concidering laying my "collection" out on e-bay, for lotsa money... Or just make a Kunai out of the WD's...

Without a website, it is just a forum. A forum with sub-par information and no reputable users.
I wonder how long you guys can throw water out of your sinking rowboat ;)

One of will is going to swim to their destination if the boat is now helpless.
Yet, people need to know floating materials are appreciated anyway ...
Takao X - April 23, 2005 01:51 AM (GMT)
I hope this dosen't turn into battle of the Metaphors, if you can't add any thing to the forums why not do something big like a Massive RPG Tournament or a Big avatar making contest you know something to make people want to come and do and thing that will start things up again.

I doubt that's going to have any effect right now. I think the best thing to do is work on the actual website and have it up soon. Once you have that up, maybe people will start coming back to the forum or maybe we'll have some new members.
Takao X - April 23, 2005 02:02 AM (GMT)
Yer sure but what about advertising If you put up the main website it's useless withought advertising I could try and post it up on the internet if you want

I did not intend to start a 'battle of the metaphors'.
What I meant was that all of you need to understand I cannot make up content out of nothing.
7/8 of the members who said they'd help the site, after my latest topic, just told everyone they were sorry, without exactly helping our case ...
Of course the site will need to be advertised when it will be up again. Right now, I wonder why I did not write 'if' instead ...

Look...
Its YOUR faults for its dying. You are failing to help by doing retarted things, like bad topics, if less people would have a bad additude, and start helping, then it has plenty chance to come back, it's also a little bit of Kai-V's fault because she hasn't realized a lot of the talent that has asked to help around and be a staff member.
This site WILL die if its members and staff don't stop moping around going:
"Its dead, realize it."
"BBS is dead, its dead, its dead."
I'm tired of hearing that crap, and I'm tired of one of my favorite sites falling, this was the site I used to first go on when I came on the computer, spfft, now it started to sound retarted, so I turned to other sites because of crap and stuff, accept some of the talent you have here Kai-V, before it slips out of your hands.
And before BBS is gone forever...
Edit: that was a typo up there >>..

Mhmm ... and I see how doing retarded things would help.
Well you know, there is no point of a forum without the site. Once the site comes back up, then there will be some posting. Otherwise, no ones going to post in pointless topics. The forum will be all spam. Therefore, doing retarded things won't help.
Brooklyn - April 24, 2005 04:35 PM (GMT)
Typo, by doing retarted things I meant, AKA, spamming, talking so much in general forum, but I wouldn't blame people, right now it is annoying to talk in the Beyblade section,
Kai-V - April 24, 2005 06:22 PM (GMT)
Brooklyn, I am not sure of totally understanding your opinion on this, but I am aware of people's talent[s], of course. Though some have not shown me anything yet ...

Thats for sure, you have way more posts than me, and I've been here like 6 or more months longer.
