RE: Where do FGM members post? POLL
multi forum memberships exist everywhere, how does singling out FGM make any distinct revelation when there's a multitude of dual members posting elsewhere? FGM has different activities going on and their members post there as well as here when the topic suits them. All sorts of different activities happen on different forums and people post where they are involved in something.
Here at the Blitz, the activities are low because there are few members who step up to the task of managing them. The Club needs people who will step up and give back to the community, there are examples of this in all the other communities, but not here.
Since people have more time to discuss non CM topics here, rather than actively attracting the community interests with programs linking to history or wargaming, the posting slows down for lack of interest.
Many members don't want to be reading the complaints and the finding faults with TheBlitz threads. They'd rather be posting about an activity or tournament they are participating in.
This, not clickies (with the exception of, oh perhaps, 3-5 members), is the reason for the slow down of posting in these forums.
Incidentally, the only place that attracts these types of posts (discussions about issues of the Blitz) is in the CM forum. The other forums seem void of these types of "discussions".
I've learned long ago, contrary to belief, that MANY MORE TheBlitz members do NOT want these types of posts cluttering up their forums than there are who want to detour the interests away from the games. People come here to play games and find opponents and discuss tactics and strategies.. not wade thru posts that find fault with something or negativity posts of the Club features, staff and members.
I may be making a bold statement here, but I'd say that's why a lot of FGMers post over there.
If there is a need for a general topics forum, we can vote on making it happen so the discussions can be dedicated to the areas for which they were designed for. This would certainly lead to more postings pertaining to the subject matter and less clutter of designated areas with out of topic material.
