This irritates me so much. If you want SBB to 'live' again then why the fuck don't you post more regularly, and rather than stupid shit or shit that's been posted already why not actually post something interesting. Ffs.

How is someones views or opinions not interesting? perhaps you should keep this to yourself as i find the thread interesting and quite well done. Also do you legit go to search just to make sure a thread has not already been made partly covering the subject? i sure as hell do not since if it's been posted before it's been posted before no harm done with it being posted again because someone didn't realize it was already a subject being discussed.

Maybe he's triggered that he didn't come up with the ideas. JK JK JK. I could understand why he feels that way though. We're all talk but we don't do anything I guess. He's basically saying, "Why don't you post instead of giving suggestions". Sounds a little mean yes, but if we're so desperate to keep SBB alive, it's imperative that we do our fair share of quality posts and conversations as well. I guess silence also mentioned that Hype posts "stupid shit", that was harsh lol. Idk what stupid shit he posts, but even if it is stupid, it still might be interesting to others. Silence u meanie weenie

This is really stupid and I'll use some of your own posts and threads as examples.

Take this for example, I could say "stop posting thread designs they've already been posted before" but you know why you don't see people saying that? Because it's different. I have my own opinion and more evidence and points than what others have said.

I think you missed his point, he started by saying that instead of just sitting there complaining and doing nothing else then you should at the very least be active on a regular basis before and while you complain about others not being. (You ever heard the saying; "Don't complain about others until you a perfect yourself."?)

Also, I have more posts than you so that's pretty stupid as well to be honest.

More posts = posts regularly. Really? That is some really flawed logic.

Okay... Let me give you an example.
https://www.google.com/search?q=csgo+hack
MPGH is a game hacking discussion forum. Do you think SEO has anything to do with why it's popular? You don't see many advertisement threads for it, do you? Exactly. I'm sure they've had some in the past, yes, but the thing is they don't now. And SEO is a big part. Just because General Discussion is our most active forum doesn't mean our SEO has to be shit.

Its a niche community, of course it will see more activity. It is also in the same niche as one of the world's most popular games of all time. What the hell did you expect? Anime forums with next to no SEO effort gain popularity in days, popularity that outclass most forums that start as general discussion. You see my point here? SEO isn't as big of a necessity if the site as a specific and popular niche. (CS being one of the most popular niches you can have.)

---

First of all, sorry I didn't go through the entire members list of SBB to hunt you down and tag you. Those are some people that came off the top of my head. So sorry I insulted you by not tagging you if you want some sort of sympathy.

Wowch, you are very easy to manipulate. Christ. I thought it was common knowledge by now (as I've repeated it so many times on here) that whenever I voice my opinion I also try to piss off the other party. (It easily shows the flaw in their thinking as they are being bluntly honest when they are angry.) Really though, no need to be a smartass about it. I did also point out that it would be strange not to do your research before complaining, something you've clearly not done properly. (Being unaware of who did what and only pointing fingers at a select few that also ended up being wrong.) So there is that.

---

Wow you're smart, aren't you? What the hell does this mean to you:

No, I am not smart. I am manipulative, which does require some intellect, then again so does opening the front door.

---

In case you do not understand english that well let me explain, I WANTED feedback. I WANTED competition. I WANTED your opinions.

Then why are you losing your shit when I gave you my opinion? I stated that in my opinion, you were probably avoiding competition because it would ruin your point. You lost your shit over that and ruined most of your point by simply looking like a whiny kid instead. So.. Ehm.. Gratz on that. (Though I really just did it to get you as honest as possible, personally I don't care how the person who talks about an idea appears, as long as the idea is sound.)

---

Again, read the fucking thread and understand it.

There I complemented the thread design. I didn't say there was a problem, and I honestly didn't know you made it.

Two things, for starters. Take your own tip and read before you lose your shit. Secondly, do your research before you try to make a point and complain. (In case you failed to understand that was me quoting what you said about the design in my own words.) That and I never stated that you talked down at my design. I just noted that when half your thread is about something that governs something like a design then the artist behind it should at the very least be the one to take the blame for anything that wasn't good or the credit for what was good.

You referred to the design as "more content" so I'll assume you are referring to it as "better than the rest of the thread". (Perfect or not.)

---

My point was that the image contained most of the content, and images don't do much as far as SEO goes. It's good for humans to read but to a bot it's almost meaningless. Now images can be good for SEO in some cases but the point is there needs to be more content OUTSIDE of the thread design as well.

And as I said, this isn't about SEO but rather PR. You don't make threads on different sites for the sake of SEO. As you said earlier, good SEO normally removes the need to post on other forums. (Perfectly ruining your own point btw.)

---

Also, apparently you don't understand what I'm talking about when I talk about how it's "bad" for SEO. I never said it was negatively affecting SEO, I said it wasn't doing as much as it could. It's like having a car that runs vs a Bugatti. I could take the car that works just fine, but I would rather take a Bugatti since it runs more efficiently and looks nicer. I also only brought up the thread design as most of the content of the advertisements consisted of the image which doesn't help as much as hard textual content.

You seem to unaware what "SEO" is about. I've already explained that, and why this is about PR and not SEO. Whenever you understand that or not, I do not really care further. If you are complaining about something you lack full comprehension about then you are just being whiny. Though I'll say this. No amount of changes to all advertisement threads for SBB will contribute to the "SEO" of this site in any meaningful way. Alteration to the content and such on the site itself, that will contribute to the SEO in a positive way.  (That and stop putting words in my mouth.)

---

If you want to contribute to the activity of SBB then it is quite simple. Stop whining, start improving on certain aspects of the site and do whatever you can think of that actually helps. Whining about a change that would barely (if at all) change in anything isn't going to do much. Most forums grow because of a specific niche that is popular, or because the content the site has is interesting to consumers. That is the same logic as selling a game or a movie. You must give people what they want, once they have that you must spread it as easily as possible to ensure that the greatest amount of people can see it, then you need to give a reason for them to go for it. (The basic idea of PR in sales.) This idea is what governs how forums grow and those that succeed at it knows it.

Off site SEO contribute so little to this that you are better off going out with a sign and stand at a busy crossroad waving it.

I've only read about one of the big replies, but I only agree with the point that it takes everyone to post to make it active again. If we sit back or just post once a day, you aren't going to expect much results. I want to see this come back up again, I'm not going to comment on the SEO side of things as that isn't my area, but I believe we need to get our activity back up before putting ourselves back out there. We get about 30 people visiting each day, but I only ever see posts from like maybe 5-10 of those people which means we're only getting 33% of out 'active' members talking.

I just noticed it's only taken me like 2-3 days just to become the weekly top poster, I'm not super active, but if it's this easy to achieve, we gotta get more active posters back here.

Indeed, I've logged on some days and have seen zero daily posts but I'm guilty as well with that and just not posting much because of life and academics.

Which of course is fine, you'll have your days where you can and can't which is a lot more than not having you as a member. Out of everyone currently active, it's hard to believe that there's only a handful that can post though. More just for those who want to see it active again, I think we can get it back.

I feel like activity across all forums (just forums in general) has dropped overall. Has anyone else experienced the same observations?

I can't say I've noticed any drop in forums I browse.
