No one is here?

furious_gamer · 07-10-2009, 02:11 AM

I am back here after few months to see this forum has just few active members? Man, this is not what i saw few years back. TDF is the most irresistible place for everyone and it included in my daily activity w/o my knowledge

.

OK guys, whatever the reason is, we need all back (at least a few).

So whether this gonna happen or i just leave this forum after seeing no active users in it. That's pathetic to even think....

**vamsi_krishna** · 07-10-2009, 02:21 AM

Yay... The forum was a blast when i was a newbie here. But that server down in January had a great impact on TDF.

furious_gamer · 07-10-2009, 02:33 AM

^^ Absolutely.Even i too was offline for around a month or two due to the bad server downtime. BTW Glad that i atleast saw a few like you.
BTW Where is others? Any idea about desiibond? .He is active in TE and even in TechieDesi..!

**vamsi_krishna** · 07-10-2009, 02:40 AM

desiibond is the most active user in TDF. many other old gold users like imav, pathik, infra red dude, ethan, kalpik, indyan, din, metal head gautham, bassam, ico are just visting the forum.. it is almost like they left the forum.

furious_gamer · 07-10-2009, 02:45 AM

^^ That's really bad

.So , its better to just visit than post here? eh? Lets see what damngoodman is gonna say...

thewisecrab · 07-10-2009, 08:59 AM

lol . .we discuss this almost every other month

But yeah, when I joined in 2006, there were many active members (Cyrus_the_virus, Praka123, iMav, T159, QuizMaster, QwertyManiac, aditya.shevade, adi123 and many more)

Who knows? They may have moved on . .

I guess it's up to us to fill the void (heck . .FilledVoid too was a regular, now he just visits the OSS section

)

Lol...ya, I second that.

But I say, lets move on, nostalgia was never a very big help for anything "NEW"...

TheHumanBot · 07-10-2009, 11:33 AM

we should move on with time

Faun · 07-10-2009, 11:58 AM

Why don't you join some real forums like bharat-rakshak (no kids allowed) etc. I am a lurker there.

max_demon · 07-10-2009, 12:02 PM

max demon anyone?

din · 07-10-2009, 01:01 PM

Sorry, got too busy (I hate to say that

) last few months. First it was the IT course meant for the students and preparation for that. Now a lot of trips and some renovation work is going on at my village house.

May take a couple of weeks and I will be back in the forum

Thanks for sharing. I don't mind joining forums where I can speak my heart out. I hope this is one such place?

toofan · 07-10-2009, 02:01 PM

One reason for this is the IRC.

people on those forums talks as if they know everything .IMO they should be given control to weapon s.God knows , what they might do to the world with those weapons lol

there is one more Pak forum against bharat rakshak

furious_gamer · 07-10-2009, 02:31 PM

That's right. We have to move on.

rosemolr · 07-10-2009, 03:01 PM

this forum really S%^$#@# because of its damn rules..i Really hate these kind of rules..and as a result..only moderator and admin are the active users infact the only active users...My Heart Felt condolence to tdF..I had found a couple of another forums..which will have updates in every 2 minutes..and new threads in every 5 minutes..

furious_gamer · 07-10-2009, 03:13 PM

^^Thats the truth. No one can talk against that

. I agree with you dude.

As for as i know this the only forum with kind & friends , Dude i dont want to mention the forum name in that forum if u say "Ha ha ha" they will give infraction , the moderators humiliate new members

& Children s will give u hardware trouble shooting very nicely

This forum is free from all those problems only problem is Double posting error & some minor errors , i daily visit this forum !

I don't really thin the rules are any kind of deterrent to the growth of this forum. At the end of the day the popularity of a forum is pretty dependent on the quality of the threads posted by the folks using it.

The more quality information , the more interested folks you will find on the board.

din · 07-10-2009, 04:39 PM

Very happy to see some of the old members again (ex : FilledVoid). At least they are here, may be not very active.

Please state the rules you like and which other forum has better rules. The rules which you like.

In fact, most admins hardly visit the forum. Raaabo and Anorion are the only ones Ive seen to be regular in the forum. cyberjunkie also pops in sometimes and Raaabo has not been here for sometime. Many mods are not here, only some are active users.

I agree about lack of activity here. One other forum had active 228 members and some 400 guests while this one usually active 20 members or less and 150 guests. But instead of complaining, why don't you post regularly here?

Is it necessary for everybody to move on? Can't people stay back and help out the newer members? I really appreciate all oldies who are still here.

I know one forum which you hate for sure. But not sure if this one is that forum. Well, I also went to another forum and well I was given warning for posting some 10 smileys in a post. At least TDF doesn't have such rules. We can post as many smileys in one post happily.

:-P

Also, they don't even allow a change in username. That's not good either.

Yes, well TDF, if admins are regular and make some changes suggested in forum improvement suggestions thread, can be very good with many active members. ThinkFree will be the first to return maybe.

Anyone know why ichi was miserabled??? (I know his current status guys :-P)

furious_gamer · 07-10-2009, 07:59 PM

OMG!! Some old members returned here atleast to argue one who is against TDF...

I think i got the result by opening this thread....

**MetalheadGautham** · 07-10-2009, 08:30 PM

Look, I love this forum. But just not enough time to post stuff except on weekends.

I've already PMed a few mods and Admins (2 nos) for this...

None of the Admins cared to reply (and they say why open new threads to ask such question, while a PM would have worked)

One MOD replied he does not know the reason (at least he replied!!!)

Even ichi doesn't know why he is miserabled...

And guys complaining about quality content...do u think a forum generates content on its own.
Its all done by "US" (in this US u r counted too)...
Now, go contribute and make this a quality forum

%$&@ u all escapists

Thanks for the info. There is no communication between the admins and us, except for the odd hello and hi here and there.

i don't think the admins give a sh1t no matter what happens to this forum they are busy with their own work and the forum will move on even if no one comes here

its only up to us to decide whether to stay here or to move on and i think the later will be better.

These same people are well over the age of 40s. There are retired IAS officers, surgeons and army officers too. Then there are independent journalists and defense analysts too. Its good to learn about core India and its problems. Then there are specialists from Russia, US, France, SL, Israel and China. Its good to learn about new technologies and happenings. All in all a win win situation !

Read their posts and apply some gyan. Take the facts on the table and then make your conclusions. The more the gyan the more the enlightenment and less the maya.

That Pak forum is balderdash...lol.
