Why half of the forums i know fail.
Here is a list of reason why most forums fail when trying to get active. Unlike my site, we are getting 40 guests per day and we are all active. We are growing and posting everyday. (About 10 topics daily) The only way i got like this is for how i played it out and how i did everything. Most sites don't do or did what i did and never get successful.

Why Most forum sites fail.
1. Reposting content. Example, refresher bots for gaia. No one is goign to come to a forum that has what every other has thats public.

What i did different, We have ghost slots bot, granter, and much more PUBLIC. We also have a fishing bot coming up soon. This brings in more people since usually people are greedy and never share things like this and it catches there attention.

2. Unorginal Theme, logo, and more. Many sites usually are lazy and just edit their Css a little, (Example as in Color, logo and maybe a button or more.)

What i did different, Our Theme is totally redesigned and not the same as it was, we got a professional new icon, and we are working on the Css DAILY, spicing up the look everyday!

3. Never the same post's. (Example: Whats your Fav Colour)

What i Did different, I gave my users new things to talk about, i try to find out whats new or whats uprising. (Example: Anonymous Outbreaks and such)

WILL UPDATE WHEN HAS TIME.

The most replies i saw on your site on a thread in the GD was 6 and thats on the first page. Your site isnt active. Your site is probably gonna die in a few. When your up for more then probably 4 years then come talk to us about how to run a site.

You actually know nothing about forums, you cant just say "Sites fail because they arent active" Thats the most obvious fucking statement ever.

Sadly enough, I'd have to agree with Omlett on this one. Everything you just said makes a forum fail, describes your forum. Considering the fact that you do not, and have not, ran any type of successful online business I can't support any of the things you said. Jesus man, you are 12 and don't even know how to program, and you think you are going to step out with a site that is half-dead and compare it to a soon-to-be-dead LogicalGamers, when it has survived with dedicated users since 2007? Honestly, it's not that we aren't active, it's that we have no freshness, or strong administration like we used to. LG used to be one of the most thriving sites, Lucky Dip, LG Gold for Other Game Currency, we used to be the best. Just because it's slow doesn't mean this site wont live on.

1, i am not 12
2, I do know how to program
3, Freshness? Admit u all. Lg is dead. You aren't going to get any members, everyone is leaving cause for the totaling reasons: No contributions, barely any talk outside of the JY, and no one learns to share methods and such!

Ok guys, lets stop arguing over forums. Is this going to end up like how we raped Monster's site, or whoever it was? Also, I believe that if you compared Cyber Gamers, which is apparently a year and three months old, to LG when it was a year and three months old, I think you'd find that LG was WAY more active, and Cyber Gamers looks puny compared to it.

tl;dr LG was more active at 1.3 years than Cyber Gamers is now (at 1.3 years)

That site was Gran's i was there to fuck it up. Also if a war breaks out it will be bad. And if you think we are "puny" Then just wait. In time Logicalgamers will be nothing more than Taz and Omlett showing their Masturbation vids back and forth.

Funny thing how aleena and i are best friends. Lg would be fucked is he was still here.
#17
I fail to see why you're still a member of Lg. If Cybergamers is doing so well stay on that sinking ship clearly you're unwanted by many here. Atleast leave for half of how long you mentioned you would be gone for.
