forum inactive? what do you guys think?

[Ryan]

i kinda feel the forum is getting pretty inactive, or maybe i'm used to an active forum where new threads pop up every 5 -10 mins and replys can come in seconds. used to frequent sgreefclub forums.

maybe its because of the number of members. maybe its because everyone knows what they want to know already, or maybe they are afraid to ask and get shot down for asking stupid or irrelevant questions.

or maybe its cuz i'm new here and this is how you guys work.

just sharing my thoughts.

what do you guys think?

No la..

Firstly, RC is a very small hobby in SG..
Very few pple, esp RC Flying, even smaller..
Have u seen RCFlying forums? It's even worse than here lor..
1 new thread per week or something!!

We're growing daily already, so we shld be getting more threads!
So we shld all help to promote tis website!!

I think it's time we take down the Hobby shop forum le..
Unless the hobby shops also advertise for us..
Else why we advertise for them free?
Esp those with websites, they dun even link to us...
Like SHS, JH, Pips, Rotor, etc... Shld be a 2-way thing leh..

[baby_zyklon]

actually they don't really have to advertise for this forum, juz give 5% discount for all forum members can liao


IMHO, already improving liao loh...sg is very small, so all local forum also a bit slow moving, furthurmore r/c community is so small, same old people, all that they should know already know liao mah and then often end talking cock

hehe... the top few posters kinda all went missing lately.........

think all are too busy at work...

.. actually number of "active members" also increase lately... but all very quiet... only the same people making noise... and once these same people busy.... the forum beome very quiet.... since everyone else is just sitting back and "see show"

When i first join...kinda tot this site is very electric and heli oriented...even the hobby shops are putting us this way.

Jethobby website put us as a forum for rc heli.

oh...and our homepage only shows an inverted heli, links to singapore RC sites only has electric planes, etc.

These misunderstandings may b narrowing the group of people coming here...but one thing is for sure..this is still the hotest rc forum in singapore that i know..

Administrators reading this? heheheheheh..... The best is just put a photo of a transmitter hahahhaa

[wei young]

Agreed ... I definitely like this forum better

[PhiBeR]

Yeah! I say we change to a more generic picture!
Like design our own logo like RCG or something!

[dabiddo]

Put Chio Bu pics better lah...

[PhiBeR]

Ya ya ya!
Like the one in my signature!!

Why not put names of the hobby shops that pay royalties to mike?

Something like S$50/month for a space to advertise n for hyperlink to/from their website.

It would be a small amount to help lessen the burden for upkeeping this forum.



The other forums i visit damn crowded n buz. Sometimes very slow. So too many ppl also not good!!!

[sloger]

This forum is pretty active compared to our NZ ones, probaly one or two new post each day.....gets boring if you know what i mean.

You cant really compare this with rcgroups and such because they like got ten times more members!!!

This is a good forum and i follow it everyday!

[Ryan]

i think its a good forum too...
just wondering why its less active now and less pple seem to be replying now.

Guys, thanks for the compliment

The software of this forum enable me to view the "viewing rate" over the month and over individual day. It does not show sign of slowing

In fact there is a few late night when I am still awake like 1-2 am, I notice there is about 25 guest! That is a big number.

On general, I feel most ppl prefer to sit back, relax and read the forum. Typing can take quite a lot of time

The other thing is, most question had already been asked before, so a search would be fruitful rather than just ask and wait for answer - Just imagine some lau jiao had been answering the same question for 10-15 times

yeah great job Mike!

i use the search very often.
very useful only that i find it VERY irritating to not be able to search 3 letter words like "APC or MPI"
is there anything you can do about it?
