lilsilmarillion Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Guy, gals, I bring you too this forum topic today to say I think we need to help the forum grow and have new members by step on TALK MORE IN THE SHOUT BOX! I just came back from a time of inactivity and everytime I come on it seems as if the shout box is dead. It's kinda spooky. When I was here before EVERYONE was having a great fun time in that box at the top of the screen. Lets bring this forum back to its former glory. And this is from a non mod. Just a trusted member. We need to talk more. And all those greeny new guys, don't be shy! Come say hi!! That's all I have to say about this topic. Simmons out... For now Edited February 21, 2013 by Absolute Dog content edited out. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconShelf Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I agree. To be fair, a lot of the more active members have left *coughvaultingfrogcough* but it is always dead:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearClawsKiller Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Hey thats not true..... (not really) but I understand. I've seen moments where no one is on the Shout Box. Sometimes people just don't talk to other people so nobody is talking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♠ Spades N AZ ♠ Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Sometimes it's the conversation in the shoutbox which makes people not want to join in. Other sites that I am active in talk about funny, important, relevant subjects. People like to join in on that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilsilmarillion Posted February 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 People.. I know I don't have to make a new thread but seriously. Just 5 mins ago I look and sooooo many people are online line and I say hi. 7 minutes later Purple responds. I haven't ever seen it take 7 mins to respond... Usually maybe 1... We need to pick it up. We want new members don't we? That's what I thought. Lets as a community work together and speak out. DON'T BE SHY!!!! We are a kind and loving community... Ask questions... Make smart aleck comments. Mess around. This is a fun forum... So try to have some fun.

FleshBack Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 99% of the time when I am on this site, I use the mobile version, sothe SB might as wel not even exist. On the rare occasion that I do go on the actual site on a laptop, it is always an A and B conversation between 2 or 3 people about personal crap I could care less to get involved in or interject my two cents in. Just sayin', but it has been a minute since I have been on the SB, so Ibwill give it another try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadly Just AL Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Definitely, It'd be great to have more people talk in the shoutbox, it's the best way to break the ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearClawsKiller Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) This is true. I constantly see new people joining but they are really inactive most of the time. And I constantly see veterans leaving as well... Edited March 4, 2013 by bearclawskiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorB77 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 I think it would be cool for members shouts to appear in the shoutbox along with new threads and links Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stab Stab Stab Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 My reason for not using it is because I don't know what to talk about when chatting with someone I don't know in real time. With friends it's easy, I know our similar interests so I know what the best stuff to talk about is. If I don't know anything about a person making non-awkward conversation is more difficult.
