Hello,I just noticed that ,every time I log in twickerz and check the forums, there isn't much activity going on in the forum. I would really suggest a forum promotion event wherein users are able to get something for participating in the forums. As you can see, forums play a big role in getting more users where in an active forum means an active site. The event does not require big rewards. A small reward is all it takes. Like 10 PTC credits for 1 week activity in forum. It is quite sad to see that we have 20k+ members but the forums is completely empty. |

Quote: serviann Hello servian, Have You tried "that free things..."? nop, just kiddin'  What I'd like to address here is our basic habitude as humans... We love to do something to get one or more "things"..! Why should do that "thing" for "nothing"...???.... that's usually kept in our mind as common humans.. Well, willing to post is just another side of our "desire" in satisfying our hobby by socializing at various form of media,... Some of us do that for self-recognition of their existance, While others do that for fun only,... The result, We can see some quality posts, or some of them will be posted as: Congrats, lolz..! Nice..! Keep it up..! You're ROcks!!! etc. Alright, I see your point and I feel something like good intention behind your request, We already found that this kind of forum contest have been implemented by others, Some of them resulting good improvement in forum activities, Some others producing a flood of spamming.., and, The rest could be ended with silent forum again just after the contest finished.... See..? It always bring Pros ad Cons anyway,... If we walk around our forum for some extra time, We will find that it is not completely empty, the forum is just kept in order and clean. No banners, no advertising links...! Have you browsed this board?... the payment section? This is the most active board in this forum and very important section of the forum. Also this Promotion offers topic to win Lv.2 and the favorite of all, the twickgrid. I can not check members visitation on forum at the specific time, but I believe Admin can do that... Even now She is watching us here... Admin MJ was giving surprises but un-announced and give a free upgrade for who will ever reply on her thread. CHECK THIS OUT..! That's one example that Twickerz do concern about members activities in forum.. So everyone must look for that treasure here in our forum. I, personally would be really happy if this request will be considered on the list, At other side; If it is not prepared carefuly, It will bring me extra hard work to clean some posts like... Join here... Congratz (only).. ...lol:z....(only) or this only... See ya around...!! |

Quote: salsabieQuote: serviann I think you misunderstood me there. What I was saying is that it would be great if the site had something to give for the members in return for participation in the forums. Rewards may be as simple as an icon/title/recognition. The "small" rewards does not always have to be something in monetary value like upgrades,referral, or credits. Although I did indicate something similar to an equivalent of a monetary object, it is not what I was trying to imply. I do have to agree that no one will want to participate without something in return but the fact that "something" in return can be as simple as happiness, fun, or sense of security/belonging. Just because I joined a PTC to earn money does not mean that everything I ask for is of monetary value. I had a recent discussion with the Admin before I bought my membership upgrade and she, of all people, knows that what I wanted was the sense of security. What I'm saying is similar to what you said earlier, man has to have "desire". A forum promotion/event is not something that requires money. Presenting money is an optional thing. I mean, why not make some kind of event for fun? Rewards that has no monetary value. In this case, what I'm suggesting is a win-win situation. Nothing is lost other than time. And I did browse the forum, I browse it everyday. |

Oooops,...Forgive me if You think I got misunderstood of what you're pointed out.., At other side, I believe that my perception upon what you said as "I have misunderstood" was easily understandable.... Here is the main background of your opinion: Quote: serviann For me, It is not quite true to be sad...!  Your opinion is very clear for me, our forum is very silent, for that we need to have some event to attract more members active in forum...Am I wrong..? I do believe that our user browsing alots the forum everyday, everytime, though most of them did not post, some of them willing to make some posts and the rest eager to post everyday..... They do that different thing for some reasons. Some of them may be didn't have any clue what to post (should we push..?), some of them try their best by posting only what they have to, or some of them having shortage with english, prefer to post in their sub-forum, ..and some of users enjoy their time here only by reading some interesting and important posts..! Even there is a forum event, I found that readers will enjoy as reader...! (I know one of my friend, classified as reader..! )..And I note also some of us posting only in certain section they love to,..as I see You, You did browsing around the forum but You prefer to post mostly in the future request section only, nop...?? But it's Okay...You will find our friend are likely to chat about the Twickgrid recently, and quite ignore the others... Have we conclude this situation as our forum is completely empty....? Absolutely...NO..! I do agree conducting an event in forum is nice too,.. Admin has already performed the similar idea once as I mentioned above, and the response was great. Furthermore, currently we have a loyalty reward for active standard member and the winner should claim their prize in forum. Beside that, winning in twickgrid will also encurage users as well to share their happiness in forum. That's all need some amount of incentive given to members,...giving too much incentive is not good for site stability as well. If You suggest another kind of reward, such that you mentioned as icon/title/recognition., that's fine also... We will have it, but please be patient to wait,... ...Our Admin is now very busy to accommodate our requests.. One thing about site attractiveness, A good advertiser will also look for the traffic rank that can be checked easily, instead of only depend on forum activities... Alright, I love this fair-minded discussion, so please accept this reply as an attempt to make Twickerz forum more cheeeerr...!

What I was implying by being sad is that the fact that the site is not able to utilize what it can offer. This is what I was saying as being misunderstood. I do understand a bit of where you are going. Though I do have to apologize, I might need a bit of adjustment on your English. No offense.Anyway, moving on, yes, there are people who love to read but it is quite rare to see only 1% of the users in 20000 are all readers. The fact that the internet conceals one's true identity. I do doubt that all of them simply want to stay as readers. I believe that each and every one want to interact with others. As far as I can see though, we lack the catalyst to ignite those want to interact. It may be the fact that we lack the so-called "charismatic" users. With the events, I believe we can invite more people and even create these so-called "charismatic" users as to whom where other users will gather and interact with. Though, I do not close the fact that there are users who love to read. Yes, I have seen those events implemented by the Admin. Like I said, I did browse the forum but the fact that the current threads are either inactive or not interesting at all in my part. The fact that I've been only posting in the feature request is that I simply want to help and that does not require any interesting topics to talk to but rather it requires interesting topics to share for the admin to read. Quote: Giving incentives is not entirely bad. Neither is too much especially when it does not require any monetary value. Growing too fast may be bad or good but that is simply as to how the site admins ready themselves. Quote: And no, I did not say that it should be implemented right away. I shared the ideas because I know that it has to go through a certain process. And I know processes will take time. I am quite receiving a bad impression as to how you said that. I know that it is not what you really mean, which is "I do not have patience and is rushing the implementation", but yeah, I think I might need a bit more adapting on my part for your English. Quote: Thank you me too. I seem to enjoy having this discussion with you. Sharing ideas is good. On that note, maybe the forum should implement a debate section wherein people can debate about a certain request. Each and every one can present ideas whether good or bad. I also believe that people do enjoy debating/arguing about certain topics. |

 Ohh very healthy discussion! Seriously, Thanks for your suggestion. We really appreciate your ideas in improving the activity of the forum. As the admin of Twickerz who have this passion to chat since birth, I like your idea 100%. Communication is what keeps everything running and prevents problem. But there are factors that we must consider why activity in forum is not that much even the site is giving them incentives. When I was a newbie, I always wonder why I read always on T.O.S : You must speak and understand English in order to use our services. You must use English when advertising or communicating on our site. First, So, first factor why there are less activity in the forum is the language barriers. Second, this is not just because of the language barriers reason but more often the member just wanted to click and cashout! third, They have no time to read or lazy to read long post or lazy to participate or the worst they cannot comprehend to the forum topic. fourth, No Confidence to post! shy type. They would rather send me a ticket to tell their suggestions and send me inbox messages. Seriously, I dont like the idea to force anyone to post or give them reward just to post for the reason that this is a PAid to click Site. I would rather give them reward to upgrade them for free for the reason for them to be able to click all premium ads set by the advertisers, but on one condition, if they were proclaimed a winner, they need to confirm on forum to claim their prize, else, disqualified. or they must reply on my topic to have that free upgrade. So I am hitting 2 birds in one stone. We need to meet the advertiser`s need and our member`s need and our investor`s welfare as well. If they will click, the upline will earn, if they will just post, you will not earn anything from their post. So everything must be beneficial both for the site and for the members of twickerz. other common reason is: They just mind their own business and will just post if they have canceled payouts because of violation of Twickerz terms. They will just post if they have complaints! lolz! The forum is silent because they have no complaints and they accept maybe that it`s their fault why their payouts was canceled. For as long as the payment proof section is busy every hour, that`s enough for me i guess for now... On the other hand, I have future plan to give incentive again via forum posting but still pending, so wait for that event! I am still busy, however, I always find time to mingle in our forum because I am enjoying giggling with members. On behalf of our staff and the mods, we`re very thankful for your sincere concern to make twickerz a better place to earn with. So, I would like to close this discussion now and lets move on to your other ideas. Thank you very much!! |
