Major Zhuinden 128 Posted May 10, 2010 It seems to bother me that there's barely anyone visiting the site, there are barely any new members, and there are no POSTS. The community is dying. We must do something - even though it was said that we have to make 3 posts a day - But what should we post about?! I have no idea! So it should not really be only my job, and as a sidenote, mostly 2 posts come as a response but then the entire thread dies out as fast as it was made. We need to do something, or Ghoztcraft will fall. I don't want to see that. Share this post Link to post
aNiMe_FrEaK_ 40 Posted May 10, 2010 If this site wants to attract the public it's obvious what it needs is productivity. To have productivity you have to have productive people that are willing to contribute to the site. If you have these two things and you then ask what to be productive on the answer is what this site was originally created for and founded on. Blizzard games would really be the only appropriate choice as choosing something other than that would change the community and it would no longer be the same atmosphere. Unique projects are needed to be made rather than the typical maphack that nearly every site relating to the same principles has. That's just my two cents. Edit: I mean this site has a lot of productivity, Zar's artwork for instance. Can you imagine what would happen if you combined all of your abilities in a project and created something with a function that had something like Zar's artistic ability in it? I think something unique like that would attract people. Share this post Link to post
GhoztMan 219 Posted May 11, 2010 Ghoztcraft is dying, indeed, and there are very few things we can do to stop it from completely going down. I've noticed that the only people who actually post (actively) are the staff/retired staff. That's understandable since they were dedicated to Ghoztcraft and have been for a long time. The problem is is that there's nothing to make the common forum lurker actually POST. I have no doubt we have many new users, but they only do it to download a hack one time, then never appear again. What we need is something to lure them in, to make them an active part of the community. I agree with Anime's and Veeber's thoughts that if we had something unique that's not on other sites, and something that would actually make people want to post, then Ghoztcraft might live. I sure hope we, as a community, succeed. Share this post Link to post
Suteki 114 Posted May 11, 2010 I had a way to help with this but I can't ever get a hold of damn XGhozt to discuss it. It would increase traffic a lot, and introduce a lot of new members. I've tried to get a hold of XGhozt about it but like I said he is never available. Share this post Link to post
JoshJayK 16,648 Posted May 11, 2010 We've been "dying" for a long time, except we've managed to hold on. As anime said, we need something to attract the public, a big project. That will get the lurkers to start posting. I don't even think we get new members as often as we used to, because there are no new hacks on GC to make then join. We need something to move us ahead of the other sites like Battlehacks, Gamethreat, etc. I think the fact that almost everybody who posts is only staff/retired/VIP might be scaring newcomers away. They think it's an already established community, with nobody else allowed. Share this post Link to post
Zar 696 Posted May 11, 2010 If the lurkers would actually post then we would have more posts and more activity. Just make new threads and all. Share this post Link to post
GhoztMan 219 Posted May 11, 2010 Making new threads wouldn't exactly make lurkers post. Threads are being made bi-weekly, but we all know who is posting on them. What we have to do is make interesting threads, that pertain to exciting subjects, Diablo III for instance. Share this post Link to post
Speedskater 167 Posted May 12, 2010 Also many people who are active due have other priorities at times, only recently I've been able to actually get on Ghoztcraft Share this post Link to post

veeber 0 Posted May 14, 2010 (edited) Yes, otherwise I wouldn't post them. Ghoztcraft [Hacking Made Easy] (Used to be) the good old times. Ghoztcraft [Gaming Made Easy] (Currently) well not anymore. Ghoztcraft [Nothing Made Easy] (Proposed change) fits perfectly. Edited May 14, 2010 by veeber Share this post Link to post
