I always complain because I don't think people post enough. Am I doing something wrong? How do I make people post?

Trust me, Travis, I come from another message board where we can't seem to get people to stay on topic, let alone stop using the board as a private chat room.

You do NOT want to go down that path wink.gif

Well, you can try to get on the official heroes site (not sure how that works...9th is on there)

And make the boards user only so people have to sign up inorder to post, see certain threads. (ie. downloads) So atleast if they are signed up...they have an initiative to post if they find something interesting.

This may seem cruel but there is another forum I'm on where you must be a member to even view the board. And you have to reach 300 posts to acess the download section where all the downloads are.

But thats cruel, especially since I'm nowhere near 300 posts. sad.gif

Well, then people just spam....so we would need more mods wiling to warn.....Because people wold endlessly post to reach 300 posts. But I mean, if it would result in meaningful posts, im sure its worth a try

I don't know but I don't really like the idea either cause I have less than 100 posts. tongue.gif But its worth a try, maybe not 300 but 150 or something. And posts in the game threads and everything shouldn't be counted because then, people would start post-whoring.

well on my old oc site, we had it where people had to get to just 25...that way it wasn't too little and first timers could post 25 posts that night in time to get the downloads...i'll think about it

hey im turning out to be a regular user since i visit this forum everyday now. smile.gif
anyways why not making the download links visible only to people with a certain number of posts required. smile.gif
that would make people post. lol
travis
well yeah that's similar to what i would do

I recently discovered we are on the official site, just hidden under fansites on the Heroes Evolutions page. But 9th appears first on the official site because it was created by NBC.
