i think in a forum lifecycle people come and go - forums goes through stages.........thats how i see it.....same with ummah aswell you get a batch of people who get active for a while t hen they all go and you get a new batch of people!
i really like this forum and have learnt so much from here,
But why are all the girls leaving? :?
I was just starting to get to know the regular posters,
i guess im still counted as a Newbie having joined in Dec 2007... :X
yeh well i see where u coming from not that i was here in that year i know full well cos it hapepns at ummah you think where is everyone gone
but i mean if there is anything that you need me to do from admin side i .e send a mass email out to everyone etc etc remove something add something then let me know
i've removed those Social networking stuff from the forum i.e friends.albums etc etc cos of peopel t hinking it will go down the social netowkring route so ive taken that out
Most of the members that signed up at around same time as me have left. I wouldn't say LI has lost it's touch though - it's been around for 3 years and we've had lots of members, though about 100 ish proper active ones throughout the 3 years.
One thing is for sure, it has gotten quiter but maybe that's because people are busier with school/college/uni etc.
A forum is made up of living people. As living people our views, opinions and likes change. Members come and go. It is always in a constant state of change. It is this continuous changing that leads to growth and keeps a forum in tune with the memberships desires.
Every forum I've ever been on has this cycle. You've got people who come and go all of the time. Some people may stay longer while others are here for a short visit.
I joined in 2005 just used read posts because I was too busy to reply only started posting myself now. I have definitely seen a change it was more lively before but I guess people get busy and opinions change.
this is the main forum i have experience with. i have noticed, over time, that it goes through different phases. it wiggles in one direction and then in another.
well i was here back in 2006 and im still here and havent left. so no it hasnt lost its touch so long as im here! when i leave you can say its lost its touch
