Animation Source Forums

Okay, these forums have had the same newest member for a few months now. Me and two other people joined in three consecutive days. There was at least one new person a week (I think) afterwards. Now, nobody. What gives?

I don't really think it matters if we get new members or not. Half of them make an account and just forget about it. I think it's better to have active members, than any members at all.

I agree 100% with Maya on this. Though if you are talking about the name at the bottom of the main forum page then i think it is a small problem with the forum system, not that it matters much anyway.

It's been forcasted that when the Amblimation triple pack comes out in November, there should be an increase of new members. So I wouldn't worry.

It's true that it's better to have active members, but one gets tired of the same faces every day.

You saying that I'm boring? *starts reading up on fridge manufacturing.*

Nah just kidding, I see what you mean. To be honest, I've seen quite a few new people here, but they just remain somewhat inconspicuous. They don't tend to be found in say, the Animals or Balto 1 section.

Oh... I thought that the message board system updated automatically.

True, that's a little bug due to the side effect of having to register on the site instead of the forums. I don't know how to get rid of it yet, but there are indeed new members everyday.

well you have to remember not all new mebers participate in the forums and its completly random, when members join i mean although it DOES seem like they join in clumps doesnt it?

People come back still. There are people who have registered in, say, February, and not posted until just recently.

I honestly dont blame them.....the only thing I do relating specifically to balto now is watch amv's and they are getting old....cartoons are nice,but they are cartoons. Can't expect people to stay into ONE thing forever....the only reason anime sites have so many is because they are dedicated too more than one show.I don't get obsessions with cartoons honestly....they freak me out. Like people who say what cartoon charrie would you marry? O.o Anyways....Im positive we will get new members because Lion King is more popular than Balto and it should drag members into the balto site as well.

Lots of members join but simply don't post. I'm a moderator on another forum we have the same problem.
