I just feel the need to say this about InvisionFree and ZetaBoards, or perhaps all forum software users\owners. I know a lot of people, not going to name names, but some go here, that make a website called "nameStudios" or "Fresh FX" or something a long those lines. But their intent is not making graphics, its being a popular forum owner and being the owner of the best forum. A lot of people go into making a new forum, lets say this forum that was quiet good espically in design, but the owner pretty much cared about only having the most members. A couple of months after the forum got going, about 30,000 posts and 1,000 members, the forum got removed, died and what not. Why do people insist on having more then one board? If planet renders and game renders merged, it would be much better then having them seperate, so many more renders and activity! And it seems the ones who take it slow and easy have success, like Next Gen Gaming, wasnt all that active, but it stayed up for about 2 years and is still up! |

People miss what they're here for, to have fun. they make it all too serious and competitive, when they should be tryin to enjoy themselves, and service/resource boards helping others out. too many owners care about member and post count when that doesnt really matter. i agree with u completely |

Again, agreed. I'm losing my members to other sites that just want to attract attention quickly and get the most members. As if getting members to my small site isn't hard enough.... :sigh: |

Well im starting to find the problem is also post count. Apparently theres a huge "hit" for having the highest post count and best statistics board out there. And yea im naming names, so what. Forums.ifskinzone.net Outlineforum.com Zetaresources.com Forums.inkdropstyles.com They are all four the same forum, when you ask them they say they arent. Heres how it lays out, they all have a "support section" they all have a "themes section" they all have a "General community section" they all have a "designs section" Now I guess the Skin Zone has a legitiment argument when they say they copied us, because they were simply there first. But they still argue about it! Four minds together think better then 4 minds seperate. If They would all merge, that would mean many many many more themes, resources and support for everyone! And I am not a fan of the Skin Zone more then the others or anything but, wouldnt it be smart to merge to the forum owned by the owner of Zetaboards and InvisionFree? I mean you wont get cracked or hacked. But there is a response honestly, the staff at all three different forums come acrossed differently to me. In my opinion the *HEAD staff at the SZ arent exactly what I would call user friendly, but hey they do, do a good job at running the place. The smart solution would to ahve an Administrator from each forum, and merge the staff, as the resources are all getting merged, so its a bigger forum anyways. And I dont know about you, but the thought of having one huge resource board, and helping that many people, with a lot more helpers, your being a huge help, weather its to these kids who want to make there own forum about there comic book they made. Or these adults making a simple forum for a small business and they dont want to pay a huge hosting fee. And im going to stop here.. I feel like im ranting now, from which I started trying to help. |

I agree. I've seen many resource forums, and most of them are just out for the post count and user statistics. I am going to be part of an upcoming resource board, but I'm doing it because I like to help create a forum. I love all the dedication that goes into it, and I also like being staff. It is just a hobby though. Some people may like the challenge of creating a big forum, and managing it all. :hehe: |
