As of 12:03, Seattle time...17 members online, 79 guests online.
Assuming that this idea has not been previously proposed, and also assuming that this was not done for a very good reason...imagine all the activity should even a small fraction of our guest horde register and contribute! Now, my own social skills are woefully inadequate for the task at hand, but I'm sure that amongst you brilliant modelling and coding savants, at least two or three or you must have the basic social skills that I lack.
Right, then. :nervous:
What can we do to convince the hundreds of people that simply flitter in, grab files, and flitter off, to stay and contribute? Keep in mind a proverbial strand of fly-paper.
Here are a few of my woefully uninspired ideas.
1.) Bump the "Gaming Discussion," and "Off-Topic (Pub)" forums to the top of the roster. This will grab new members. The way it is at present is essentially a growth retardant. This is the easiest trick in the book, guys! Nab them with the off-topic forums, and let them later filter down into the main attractions.
2.) Guests must register to download SCP files or whatnot (could hideously backfire, easily my worst idea).

i think that a lot of those guests are ad bots.
-
check the guest list on GW;
google.com, adspider, ect. but it would be kinda fun to talk with an ad bot..
adbot: buy product now.
member: no.
adbot: buy product now.
member: no.
adbot: buy product now.
member: no.
adbot: buy now or my species armade will anihialate your species.
member: n-*BOOM*
i recomend replace all forum links with links to any thread posted in by me. that way they will join for the joy of attempting to bellitlle me. which many have tried and failed at.

What do you mean failed? Lose gracefully, takashi.

Urm, yet? Why do you say "yet?"
I was the total instigator of failure, you fool! I was, and remain, dare I say it, a catalyst of woe.
This thread will self-nullify in 24 hours.

EDIT (24 hours later): Okay, I can't delete my own threads. The Steampowered forums have spoiled me.

Of course you cannot if your topics already have replies other than your own.

Not much, if they're anything like me. Generally, if I have to register to download something, I either A) get annoyed, proceed to register, download the file, and never come back. Or B) Get annoyed, don't feel like registering, and simply leave altogether.
If I want to post on a forum, I'm perfectly capable of doing so myself. I don't need to be coerced into doing so to inflate some database count.

We could also construct some sort of image and/or animation that first brainwash the viewer and then make them jump on one foot while screeming "I love Asparagus" and ofcource the only cure for this would be to register and see another picture that cancells out the previuos one but instead it makes you worship ME and send me all of your money .................... :nod: :nod:
