You know what I don't like? How we sometimes get like 3 new members a day, and yet, they make few to no posts. I get my hopes up, and they fail to do anything. What I also dislike is how they sometimes make one random topic, and never say a thing afterwards. Maybe this has something to do with the lack of steady new, active members.
I notice one or two here or there. Of course, 'tis a common thing of any forum. Though I don't really know of a way to do anything about it.
Some of those 'new members' are also bots. Look at their emails in their profilesk, if it ends .ru, then it's a russian bot, there are LOADS of those.
They're bots, that's why they never post. We've got a security measure which sends an email to the new user with a random password they can use to log in, which can be changed later. However, since they're bots, they don't know what the password is, and thus never sign in, and thus never post. It is disappointing, though, not having many new, active members.
most likely, but hey, you never know, some people might not get their activation key right away, like in a day or so, and they forget they were members here. and probably ignore the mail, who knows.
I'd rather be a member of a forum with a few somewhat actives members that follow the rules and use proper grammar then a member of a forum with foul-mouthed spamlies posting at a mile a minute using the worst grammar ever. It's all about perspective.
try 4chan (http://img.4chan.org/b/)
That place is insane, they post literally at a mile a mnute. and a lot of the posts are like, nothing more but stuff repeated over and over again.
Still, I would like some more new, promising members. I should go through the member list and see who are actually active, and make a list of them.
DId that once, came up with around fifty.
I just started, It'll probably take me a while, since I'm going swimming right now.

actually, they arent allowed to join my good man, gamefreak disabled those email addresses
Some of these 'inactive' members are active though, they just don't post. Such as PORNOMOVIES and SexyChick.
How's SexyChick doing? I haven't heard anything about her recently. :D
They haven't been disabled. Otherwise, how could they still be showing on the member's list?

Ahem...
I was missed. I've been fairly active, haven't I? And for the time I've been here, I think I've made a good number of posts. 630 of them, in fact. Although only 155 count...
Thank you.
I'm sorry, must have forgot to put you down, but I got you on their now. The sad thing is, 90% of the people here have less than ten posts.
No problem!
I think it's a shame more people don't come here and stay... they're missing good stuff here.
*coughs*
You mean the 90% that AREN'T bots?
You also sort of forgot Iron Knuckle, and Knil... they post in theories and General Zelda.
Yeah, I basically only stray into the bottom half of the forums on a rare occasion, mainly cuase I don't have much to say about the Zelda games.
Alot of older members don't post at the desert anymore because they were chased and repulsed away by certain factors.... it's a sad thing.
For all (if any) of you wondering, I havent posted, but I read the forums everyday... I'm here in spirit.

I was basing my list on wheter or not someone had a considerable amount of posts, and has been active recently. But sure, I guess I can add you.
ladynintendo is on alot, but she mostly posts in zelda boards, but she'll post in the general stuff from time to time, I see her on sometimes, but not everyday, but yeah, she's active. sorta

Lady Nintendo is on here.
oh, my bad, didn't notice her there. tends to happen alot... well you pretty much got everyone then.
Nice to see that I'm on ;D I can't see anyone missing from the list myself. *List gains Davros' official stamp of general enthusiastic approval* Looks pretty good to me.
Ahem. I do not see myself there. What madness is this?!
Who are you again? :P
thats probably because you haven't been on in forever...
She's been Axel. She gets on fairly often.
oh yea, my bad, lol, I always thought that was someone else... because there used to be a member here named axel. if I'm not mistaking.
I haven't, or Violinist hasn't?
Because only one of those is the right answer.
