AlfieWilRus Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 (edited) Ok, I've been with this forum for about two months now. I like it a lot but what seems to annoy me a lot is how some people would just join this forum for one day to ask one question and then never return to it or just post one topic and then never comes back. To me more than half of the the members this forums has aren't even active users. I could obviously see this post was not a good idea. Since with all the replys I got. I was just telling what I thought was going on. Edited August 12, 2010 by AlfieWilRus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolution-Designes Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 That happens with most of the big forums these days. People ask something and never return because they don't need anything from the forum anymore. They are not interesed in the forum anymore.

I guess so but I posted an idea to stop this in the suggestion section. Check it out if you want to know the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runey Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 (edited) It doesn't bother me to be honest. In fact, there are some members around now that I wish had done that. You know, like Slamwoman, I mean cidamelo. Edited August 12, 2010 by Runey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanzant Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I only came here years ago for GTA Vice City information. I didn't bother joining to ask questions untill San Andreas came out. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for making a few friends and joining Prop Inc. and the Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minus the Boom Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 It doesn't bother me to be honest. In fact, there are some members around now that I wish had done that. Happens to all forums, and it happens to all of us. I'm sure I've registered on atleast 30 forums and am only active on 2. It's like Revolution-Designs says: people lose interest and don't come back because they don't need anything from the forums anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Garcia Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 HOW DARE you type a To Be Continued topic title to lure me in here... And ditto to Runey's reply. Mega ditto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of delete key Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 To me more than half of the the members this forums has aren't even active users. I actually did the math one time, and something like 80% of registered accounts have never posted, or posted only once. @ Runey: You just put a new word in my dictionary.

Robinski Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 As long as they don't come here just to hawk their youtube channel, website or product in their one and only post I don't mind. If they need help with something then I don't see the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lithium Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I don't see why this is a problem either. If people are coming here to get help from us, why not help them. If they never come back, then that's their own loss. @Runey- Classic! hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james227uk Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I don't see it as much of a problem, although it is kinda annoying after a while. Is there even a rule about not posting once then leaving? If there isn't, there isn't much you can do about it. Even if there was a rule, you can't stop them @Runey.

Hodgey. Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Why is that a problem, isnt that what forums are for to ask questions and to have discussions ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slynke Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Personally, I find it much more annoying when people like cidamelo and alfiewalrus DON'T just leave after their first post. Especially when it's apparent that nobody seems to enjoy their presence.. Or how about when people post their GTA-Series progress in their sig, as if anybody gave a flying f*ck.
