Activity on non-VN portion of AN

[Mao]

I think the problem is you need an initial community already in place to get the ball rolling. Individuals aren't going to join the site unless there is a pre-existing community. I like Taiga's idea the best. It would be a good way to build up a community form other states, then once the numbers are high enough we can think about subdividing the forums into each state.

At the moment, unless you can organise a bunch of people to simultaneous join and use the other boards, nothing is going to happen...

Best post in this thread.

FSN started initially because a group of discontent VCE students on BoS decided to start up their own site. That then snowballed into what it is today. If we were to make the other state boards active, we must somehow gather a local community that is already active. (streamlining might work, but the 'you are in a different state' makes it a lot harder)

As much as I hate to admit it... I think it's quite obvious that I was 100% wrong about subdividing the states forum-wise.

After stage 2) of the plan goes ahead and we've had the expo, we'll look at integrating the communities into one forum.

Exactly what I was thinking.

[m@tty]

What's stage 2?

What's stage 2?

That's the whole point....which is why I asked for an ETA.

Haha I have to admit enwiabe, you are very skilled at causing drama/tension/anticipation.

This is quite true. I was and technically still am a member of BoS although I have not been on there for a year. Although since it was primarily based in NSW it was hard to get help from people who were doing VCE since there was not that many people who cross checked the forums.

I think this is all a learning experience though as enwiabe pointed out. Was happy to point out that a mistake was made and as a result has learned from it and will change the forum accordingly in an attempt to boost activity across the board.

Stage 2 is when we tell you that those threads from the April Fools forum are actually true and we were floating the idea to gauge consumer response

Not to mention no one ever did any sort of SEO on the other sites so they're almost impossible to find. :p
