    Default Where Is Everbody?

    Where has everyone gone? This forum used to be so active, now it's all quiet with very few new posts. What happened? Is it because people don't like Chinese entertainment anymore or is there competition with other forums?
    My obsessions: Joy Division, New Order, Bones, The Office.

    I think it's a case of nothing lasts forever. People evolve and try new things, and lots of new things have emerged in the last 10 years. Meanwhile, this forum has stayed pretty static. People simply get interested in other things and have less time to spend here.

    Which reminds me of one of life's wisdom: to stay competitive, one must keep innovating.

    It is true, it has been really quiet with the exception of the actresses forum lol

    If people are not coming here, then where are they going?

    The mainland series is quite popular. The biggest decline is possibly wuxia fiction.
    People come and go.

    Sigh.. there are definitely less members and active users than years past. If you have any suggestions on how to revive user interaction please share it with me.

    I have checked. We don't have a member by that name of 'everybody' the closest we have is 'Everygurlxxx'

    Anyway, I guess engaged with life itself rather than into another forum - I'm speaking for myself.

    It's nice to still come back here and feel like coming back to a hometown though.

    Hello, folks!
    What can I say? I'm still standing! No weapon against me shall prosper! I am more than a conqueror!!!

    I don't care to sit by the window on an airplane. If I can't control it, why look?

    A good majority of people I knew in this forum since a long way back have left. The only thing consistent about them all is that they all grew up/older, have more responsibilities in life which gave them lesser time to hang around. Either that, or it's the inevitable shift of interests. This, and maybe combined with the earlier reason...

    But somehow, we don't have many new members that become regulars... neither do we have many people who tries to initiate topics. For this, I really appreciate the work Ken is doing for the wuxia forum. He's one of the few who is consistently trying to stimulate conversations in the forum.

    I wanted to "Like" your post...only to realise that this is SPCNET and not FB so I "Bold" it instead

    For me it's due to a lack of going on the internet nowadays. And when I do, there's nobody around on this forum .

    you like Lord of the Rings too?
    If you can keep your head when all about you
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too;
