Sheesh, the forums are dead!

This one, that one, we need an incentive to post in the forums.

Maybe like at Gaia where you get points for posting, but if it's a short/recently after another post, you don't.

But they also have a lot of crappy spam posts as well.

Fret not, my friend. This new forum system hasn't been made public yet. Once it does, it will be fully integrated w/ the rest of the site. It will get a lot more exposure.

But even the other forum is still a tad dead-seeming. :/

Well, than we shall make them undead.

Well, people can communicate through comments, notes, and the shoutbox on NuTang so to make the forums undead, everyone would have to shift to using the forums.

Aahh Gaia's system of giving out gold sucks now.

The fourms are cool though, they should get more exposure.

Maybe an incentive could be recieving a pps point for every achieved amount of posts on the forums... it would allow people to customize there personal sites more, creating more of an interest on both the forums and others blogs.

Yeah... I haven't been on Gaia in forever, but I still think the general idea had a bit of promise.

Since nuTang has invites now, hopefully it would weed out the crazy "zomgah spam" posters from the getgo.

Yeah, Nrg, that's been an idea forever. Maybe it can finally be realized now that we're not using Invision or phpbb anymore.

Why was using those forum types ever a problem? I used to visit a site that had a point system, say for every post they recieved 3 gps and they were using invision

There should be a lot more activity now that the forums is totally integrated with the main site. Just like from each post, there are links back to the main site... we'll be adding more and more links from the main to the forums.

For instance, now when you create a NWF battle, a battle thread will (should) automatically be generated in the NWF forum.
