12p Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 I've noticed that there are very few posts per day in relation to the amount of forum members... THERE ARE MORE POSTS CREATED IN A DAY IN THE RUSSIAN SECTION THAN IN ANY OTHER! I don't know, you tell me. What happened to dzek, for example? Or TurboCow? Those members were spending time on the forums to answer questions, etc... And now they're gone. What's wrong? Off-Topic: BTW, I have spent less than 20 days in the forum and got more than 120 posts (I think I had about 860 when I came back), I'm close to my 1000 posts
RiD Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 994... you ARE close. It's actually sad that MTA forum is not getting the attention it deserves... I'm a bit of a new guy (ignore my registration date)
diegofkda Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 That's right. MTA experienced people are wasting their time in useless things, such as B.L.A.S.T. forum, I don't think I'll post anything there anymore.
GodFather Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Well I think forum should be updated, and made user friednly and attractive looks. I can bet it would attract much more people.
12p Posted October 30, 2011 Author Posted October 30, 2011 Yes, but I think MTA Team is busy enough with MTA itself. I would help but IDK anything about PHP yet, only about HTML plus CSS
zerb Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 What suggestions do you guys have to improve the forum? I can pass these on if any meaningful ideas come up. As an active member of the community these forums are a part of my daily schedule and by all means it would be ideal to see more people contribute to useful posts other than the BLAST section - though at the end of the day BLAST has became a symbol to the MTA community in that respect. Past and present continue to keep the torch burning. The forum does get its recognition. We have thousands upon thousands of posts and this doesn’t include all the archive posts from 2003-2005 roughly that have been stored elsewhere. The numbers use to rocket sky high when the old EUNA, European and individual tournaments use to be published. Generally, the forum is at its peak once a release has gone public and many users visit the forums though they don’t necessarily register or post.
12p Posted October 30, 2011 Author Posted October 30, 2011 Because the most active forums are just scripting and russian, we could try to make something so people that is at scripting forums, visit others, like resources. I don't know what exactly, but that's my idea (btw too much obvious and simple ).
zerb Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 I have been around this community for years and not once have I contributed a post to the scripting section because I don’t know how too. It’s rare now that you ever come across a big debate in the general or discussion sections anymore. It’s impossible to encourage people just to sign up and post something other than in the scripting section because it’s a freedom of choice. It would be nice to see the old torch get lit again in the Gangs/Tournaments section for example but people prefer not too nowadays.
12p Posted November 6, 2011 Author Posted November 6, 2011 I've got 2 ideas lol 1. Facebook and/or Twitter linking/connect. People use way too much them 2. 2. Updating forum version? Not sure about this one, it seems like this phpBB is a bit old, but I dunno. It would be used to add more features.
Spanish4Life Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 I agree too. I barely can get entertained looking this.
12p Posted November 8, 2011 Author Posted November 8, 2011 Isn't the default one good, already? That doesn't matter. If MTA Team creates a new one and it's better, of course we'll use that one.
Spanish4Life Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 That isn't really the good. Look @ minecraft forums... The problem are that here, on the forums, aren't a very big amount of things to do; for that all people go to B.L.A.S.T. . Make some more non-MTA sections; i know (e.g.) Habbo webfans that have more subforums that Habbo-related have, and it wasn't a problem! Here go some examples: Music Art Design / Pixel Art or whatever not related to MTA Culture, Sciences and Societies Sports Games non-GTA related Cars / Bikes Computer / Software no warez / Hardware Funnies / Jokes / Parodies / Memes Videos / Youtube Social Networks / Internet Computers and Internet aren't the same
12p Posted November 8, 2011 Author Posted November 8, 2011 All that can be done in General The problem is, people IS NOT INTERESTED on the forum.
diegofkda Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 There should be a price after you reach 1000 useful posts... meh, if that price is a porno movie then this will be the most visited, useful and fun place in the world.
Spanish4Life Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 There should be a price after you reach 1000 useful posts... meh, if that price is a porno movie then this will be the most visited, useful and fun place in the world. FIRST: Movie can be linked SECOND: Spam, spam and... guess what? SPAM! Seriously: We need anything to do for win people here
zerb Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 Personally I think the forum looks nice the way it is - the layout, colours and such. It’s neat, tidy and the navigation is not an issue. Unfortunately MTA is never going to be on the same level as activity compared to say SA-MP forum wise. Whilst San Andreas is a popular game, many people now will type “GTA IV multiplayer” or similar into a search engine because people think that MTA is in the past. In reality not every person has stayed round long enough to see the thousands of features available with this product. Whilst it would be nice to see more activity on this forum I wouldn’t - perhaps some others might agree - want to see this forum get too crowded and become a total mess. MTA is still a very active community regardless of what happens in this forum.
World Championship Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 The current forum design (phpBB style) looks boring.
12p Posted November 11, 2011 Author Posted November 11, 2011 Maybe image-based background will give a better looking design
12p Posted November 11, 2011 Author Posted November 11, 2011 no it wont I didn't read YOUR suggestion.
Spanish4Life Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 Thanks aibo to delete my post Maybe more forum plug-ins?
RiD Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 guys, just leave the forum as it is now. Maybe contribute with good posts to make this place a better place to stay?
