General question for members. - Versace - 06-03-2013

Why do you guys forum hop? For example when CG was dead everyone started saying "Oh CnC is so awesome bye CG" and started to become inactive on the forum they originated from (CG). Once you guys got bored of CnC you guys stop activity and hop on another forum. For example, whoever name I include don't be offended as you haven't done anything wrong I am just using you as an example. OversouL once an active member on CnC has now found a new home on Jimmy's new forum an he averages about Total post 112 (32.25 posts per day | 21.41 percent of total posts). It just seems like to me every time there is a new forum up members do this. I have seen this done with FJ,CG, and now CnC. Now he isn't the only member that has became active on Jimmy's forum I just decided to use him as an example. Thoughts?

It honestly is very disappointing that OversouL has that in his signature. Back to your question, Forum hopping is so pointless.

They think they'll have room for advancement on new forums. They'd rather have seniority over 5 kids than be well known on a site of 500+.

Im assuming he did not know of that forum rule? But in my opinion if you're an advisor you should know what the rules for the most part especially advertising competitive forums. Then you guys (not directed at you Big) had the nerve to ask my to remove Jimmy's ban.

On topic: I agree with you its simply a waste of time and effort. I feel that members think because they are the most active member with about 12 members registered they feel they will be awarded due to their activity . I have also seen that on here (Sledmore).

You said it perfectly. In my last post I was having trouble figuring out how to put it but this is where I was going.

Yeah definitely, OversouL should know better. He is essentially trying to steal members from CnC, and then leave for Jimmy's forum. That's how I see it anyways.

Clearly you guys don't know how to deal with competing sites. You shouldn't have allowed their site name on your forum. Not that it's my business, but you should avoid being too specific in posts like these... Doesn't look very good on your part. It looks like the forum is doing fine, although posts like these are terrible for morale. You can delete my post if you think it's too blunt, just giving constructive criticism.


RE: General question for members. - Preside - 06-03-2013

Honestly, I think people should stay on one forum site, weather CnC or another. It can be the same thing from one to another which is pointless in my opinion. We should try to ban together and make one (preferably CnC) big! I mean really really big! Those are my thoughts and feelings on the matter.

Forum advertising wasn't allowed when Wonders was the Admin so I wasn't sure. Normally we handle this by removing the signature and warn/ban the user. Also this thread was to never talk about competitive forums or anything like that the point and focus was to discuss forum hopping and I gave an example/

Pretty much what I was going to say. I actually miss this site because I've started to be a bit more active on HF because there was nothing to really talk about on here. I'm trying to get more active on this site though because it has great potential.

Cool doesn't last forever, what's cool changes for people. For example, Chit N Chat is no longer cool for OversouL, but now Jimmy's forum is.
