Lack of consistent visits

[||§§||Hand_O_Death]

*/rant* It is kind of sad to see about 5 or 6 people using this site. This site is set up very well by Dr.H and could be utilized for many things. I was hoping that the Console players would visit a lot and utilize the resources for their own activities as part of the SS.
I took a quick shot of Xfire which has 25 people in the SS onine and another 83 offline. almost none of whom even check the site at all.
If every member just hopped on once a day and read the new posts, I bet we would be so busy with updates on the site that we would need more help.
I remember when I first joined I couldnt read all the posts the forums had everyday because there were so many, and that was years ago.
I hope that we can bring the SS back to how it was in the glory days. Just the communication of all the players in one place could really assist in the growth of the SS again.
So every member and applicant, just try and visit the site once a day, if you see somehing that you like, talk about it. If not, start a thread about it. I am sure that if we had everyone begin to be active again, that people would really WANT to come and check on the site.

Few things you can use the site for:

Forums Section - Basically share thoughts and ideas for all to see and comment on. You can eve subscribe to threads and get emails everytime they are commented on.
Rate Threads - You can rate threads with the "Rate" button at the top right forum taskbar in the thread and give it a rating of 1 to 5 stars.
Blog Section - An on going "Log" of your life, experiences, and feelings.
Calander - Set up and schedule times for meetings and events with whomever.
Private Messanger (PM) - Send private messages to anyone else registered with the site (They will also get an email notification of the message telliing them to check it)
Photo Hosting - You can upload photographs to your personal album and use them here on the forums (like mine below) or anywhere else online.
Social Groups - Set up a social group for certain games or intrests.
Server Info - Check on any servers the SS is currently sponsoring including out CoD4 and Ventrilo Servers and see who is on them and how they are doing.
Clock - Tells the current time (Duh!)

All of these functions and more are found on the Homepage and the upper task bars. Many are found in the Control Panel (User CP) http://suicidesoldiersclan.com/usercp.php
Everyone should visit the site often (Add a site link icon to the task bar of your web browser is the quickest and easiest way) and try and get all other SS members to visit as much as possible.
I really hope we all can enjoy a great community expeience that I believe the SS is capable of. * /end rant*

[||§§||SharpY]

yeah i check the site all the time. put it as your home page like i do haha.

makes it SOO much easier, no typing in address bar(not that its not worth it, i dont have as homepage right now) but u can be laaaaazzzzzzyyy:thumbsup2:

[||§§||Dr.H]

If not your homepage then at least a top bookmark. Lol I can't picture myself typing the whole name into the address bar a few dozen times a day.

That aside, I think Hand made some good points. The site is a decent one so it would be nice to have more activity and any suggestions on improvements or reorganization of the forums are more then welcome.

This thread is a good place to hear from the different type of members on what they are looking for in the forum and what they are willing to contribute.

I've noticed that we are broken up into certain groups. As these groups go down the list they get larger in the amount of members who represent each group.

1) Active members who play group games, make new threads and post in other threads.

2) Active members who play group games and post in threads of interest to them but don't add new threads.

3) Members who actively play group games and read the forum but do not contribute.

4) Members who actively play group games but do not visit the forum.

6) Members who sporadically play group games and sporadically visit the forum.

7) Lastly this group is non active members. Older clan members who have lost interest or new members who did just enough work to get their tags then slowly dissipate.


There does seem to be a small side group of members who seem to live on the Ventrilo server lol. I'm not sure where they would fit but I'm pretty sure they don't visit the site as much as they do Vent since they tend to hop onto vent to see who is on and then hop right off, even though there is a perfectly functional module on our homepage that tells you who is on the Vent server...:huh:

[||§§||zezura]

im in group 3, haha, ill post more from now on though

i do also hop on vent a lot and if there's somebody there i tend to stay on

[||§§||SharpY]

[Nightmare]

[||§§||dkadar]

i use to be a one but now im a stuck in between 1 and 2 lol.

[||§§||Hand_O_Death]

I'll respond to something, but there is never anything to respond to.

Well, like I said, YOU all can post as well and see if someone would like to comment on YOUR threads, almost all thread are made by me or Dr.H and I do not see how the entire community revolves around us 2.

So you all need to post ANYTHING you find interesting that you think someone else would want to know about. I mean E fricken 3 just hapened, the biggest gaming convention of the year, and the thread I set up (http://suicidesoldiersclan.com/showthread.php?t=827&highlight=2009)and all it got was a small Modern Warfare 2 talk that really could have been on the MW2 thread. A lot happened there and no one wanted to bring up any games or anything at all. So there is more to talk about then ou admit.

I would like the SS to become self sustaining entity and not dependent on only a small amount of members keeping everything moving (however slow it is moving now), or it might end up fading away.

Well MW2 was the only game I really care about from E3... so... oh wait!
