Suggestion to bring in more members.

[Immenseman]

Yeah like Jen signed I first signed up to CH because it made me. I now have like 600 posts on there or something. If HxF did the same - there will be more active users and therefore posts. I see no harm in trying this anyway. I'm sure nvrspk4 will consider it after what he said yesterday

Tbh there is no other ways to bring in members, unless they advertise somehow.

[Immenseman]

There are many ways. Depending on my effort meter I may create my own thread proposing my ideas one day in the near future. Unfortunately, I'm not sure threads in here are given the right attention so I might not bother.

I wouldn't make it posts. I'd make it certain areas.

Trading for sure. That's a big hit.
I'd make forum games aswell.

Other stuff isn't really that much.

But let them actually see that the forums are there, but when they try to go into the forums, or posts, make them restricted to members only.

I know that sounds epic hard, but it's really easy in forum permissions.

Hey,

I can see where you're coming from and its a good idea. I think the difference in policies is rooted in the difference between CHF and HabboxForum.

The casual Habbo users might browse HabboxForum because they want to review the news or something they heard about.

I guess the question is - is it worth losing some of the casual browsers to make some of them members?

Everyone is putting a lot of weight by the online member numbers - I think guests is entirely valid because those are people who are aware of the community.

And then they see something they want to reply to, they make an account.

I like this kind of system because people don't feel compelled to join, and do so of their own choice. There's no "I joined because the forum made me I don't want to be here" and I think that changes the initial tone of your forum visit.

I also think that we have a lot more "casual browsers" who would be put off than CHF would. Our browsers are just looking at news and such, not really a big deal. However users going to CHF, especially now, have probably been linked because of some riot or big to do that was reposted on another forum so they want to see.


The point is up for debate, just my opinion.

"I joined because the forum made me I don't want to be here"

well not really... they are viewing the forum so that means they want to be hear. Dunno why someone would view and read news on a forum they dont want to be on :S:S:

And why are you baseing everything around habbo news??? :S im sure people look at threads other than that

To be honest, why SHOULDN'T this be implemented? it only has benefits, and that's more users, and potentially, more active users.

All this will do is give us a potential increase in total membership but likely a decrease in actual views and traffic, as many just won't bother

I stand by my point, as if people want to comment on something they know already that it's easy to register, so by limiting how much people can view without being logged in seriously all you do is cut traffic

Tbh, when I used to view this forum in my Habbo days, I only used to view it for curiosity, I didn't sign up for like a year. But now I'm an active member, and no longer play Habbo. If this was already implemented then I would have been registered much earlier, and of had more posts (if my accounts didn't get banned) - Equalling in me becoming more active.

It wouldn't cut traffic, I agree it could possibly if we did it like this; view three threads and that's it, you need too register. But not if it was implemented so it was like 10 threads, it wouldn't cut it at all.

If people see 'You have to register before viewing more threads' Then they WILL register, I guarantee you. I just registered on CHF because of it, I may not post, but other people in my position may post. Resulting in MORE active members, and that is what's needed.

Please post if you have any better ideas of getting new members in, and being active. Cause I would like to know.

as lick said if they didn't want to be here they wouldn't be on it to start with, and even if the excuse "I joined because the forum made me i don't want to be here" then their given the chance to register, its not necessary, just they don't get to view the threads. Alot of forums have this (not only habbo based) to encourage users who are just viewing giving no contribution to the community to sign up and actually contribute to the discussion and community that their viewing.
