Why is this forum not too lively?

[Snow]

There are so many users.
I usually see a bunch viewing certain topics but no posts follow.
Are you shy or something?
Throw in your views. A lively forum is much more fun.

[strivingobserver98]

It's another groggy Wednesday, in UK everyone has come back from work few hours ago. So they must be tired I think :skeleton:.

Friday & Saturdays are much livelier.

[sister herb]

Of my mind this forum is quite active. I think that sometimes members just don´t know what to comment.

And of course, a workday is behind and the bed is in the mind.

[MidnightRose]

I'd like to post more. Life gets in the way of that. I enjoy reading everyone's posts though. And, like sister herb said, many times I'm not sure what to say. I like to listen instead.

I think it's a lack of time, added to the fact there are a lack of thought provoking threads nowadays? Where have the Palestine, Syria, Iraq and general world affairs theads gone? Why is there no emphasis on these topics anymore, have we given up?

[crimsontide06]

I think this(like the other Islamic forum I am on) is a mostly UK forum, so everyone here is mostly asleep when other users are on.

Great point.
The lack of topics is not an excuse.

[Umm Abed]

Initially when I joined, I asked the same question too.

Id like a lively, active forum with greater interaction from members and Islamicboard is the right place to be, but dont worry - we'r getting there - lets take the plunge!;D

[Abz2000]

it's probably due to the fact that people want to talk about Islam as it was reavealed rather than USlam.

[sister herb]

Some time ago I talked with one admin and described one other forum what is more quiet than this one as "People don´t even fight in there". So as long as here we meet bloody debates and fighting, we shouldn´t be very worry about activity of the forum.

;D

[Abz2000]

we need to invite sister skyes/bluebell/jauryah and msalman back, with a personalised message from all members who knew them and new members who are interested.
also Amat Allah and the indonesian mod brother and the geneticist from south u.s
i used to enjoy debating pygo and czgibson until i found myself on my own.
weird how polarization and steadfastness come from confusion, controversy and investigation.

I am not familiar with those users but a good debate can be fun.
As a member of this forum, I am to be blamed as well.
I'll try to post more often.
Hopefully not to the horror of others.

seems active to me :statisfie

[AhmedGassama]

This forum is quite active, but if some people don't participate in some topics then it's okay because silence is good when one doesn't know about the topic.

I think that ignorant posts are great.
At least they can get informed, instead of not participating and just staying ignorant.

[M.I.A.]

can somebody please tell me if dominos pizza is ok for muslims.

i ordered 2 veggie volcano's... one gluten free.

although they are labeled suitable for vegetarians on the menu, the muslim man behind the counter said they (dominos) are not guaranteed halal. (new guy never seen him before)

he handed me a leaflet but i lost it somewhere between paying for it and taking it to the car.



id get another leaflet but the guy just exploded on me...

yeah il take one sure...by.... bye.



the ancient proverb of lurk moar probably applies to such a serious forum.. but i suppose someone stirs the pot every now and then.

[AhmedGassama]

Yes they can get informed, i didn't say no, but if someone who doesn't know about a subject is better for him to be quiet.
If for example someone make a threat about Zakat, the answer must be given by someone who know about that subject.
This is my opinion and Allahu A'alam

[strivingobserver98]

Things are looking good :D.

The most members online in one day was 97, 35 Minutes Ago.

[Abz2000]

oh my God this is a victor meldrew moment!

this forum has come to life in three days and three nights!

[Celebrimbor]

Maybe the owner should start some kind of competition and reward us with reps/gifts/money/vouchers etc for winning. What say you chief ? ;D

[sister herb]

We have had here sometimes competitions, like writing contests. Sometimes some quiz.

http://www.islamicboard.com/creative...riting+contest

I am not sure about prizes but propably winner can get some extra reps. I afraid they don´t send the cake to the winner... :nervous:

So it seems only sisters participated ? And all the three winners are sisters ? And only one brother commented just to congratulate the winners ? How can sisters be that good in writing ? This is Unpossible.

@فرحان Which is the nearest cliff in middle east ? I think its time for us to jump.

[M.I.A.]

You only need 9000 reps to get invited into the secret ib forum..

It's over 9000!

:| ...dragon ball z fans will get it, it was kinda funny..

Probably.

Think the forum already does custom titles for competition winners and stuff..

And iv been to forums that have discount promo's for forum members from related businesses.

You can to be the first active writer brother here then. Before the results of the winner will publish, we don´t know the names of the writers - neither are they sisters or brothers. Good luck - I think that also at this year will be the writing contest. :statisfie

What? Are you serious??? imsad

[Scimitar]

Yeah... trust me I was disappointed when they told me I won a cake on VigilantForums back in the day... I PM'd a mod my address and everything :(

So now, I just post pics of ice cream instead. Fancy some sister?

Ice cream makes it all better :)

Thanks. Just vote for me blindly.

[strivingobserver98]

Does everyone here like prizes? :). By prizes I mean real things, not just rep points.

Maybe we can consider a custom made chocolate bar or selection box with your name, or money, or gift voucher.. Tons of ideas :D.

[sister herb]

Noooooooo. Rep points are just fine. Or knowing that for example story in the writing contest was fine and it gave joy to others whose read it, is enough.

We aren´t greedy (although chocolate does sound good :p )

[BeTheChange]

It doesn't matter how lively this forum is.

What matters is the knowledge we gain and the changes we make to our life and the people around us.

In my humble opinion.

May Allah swt help us benefit from this forum Ameen.

Everyone is too shy to directly say 'Yes' to your offer, so I will accept it on their behalf.
