manuleka 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2011 i agree... it's like Xisto is provide a great service but members activeness is quite low... it takes a while to get a response to a post and there's also quite a few spams/spammers lurking around the forum which is quite annoying.

Xisto has always been the forum for brains with a few exceptions(like me ) run by the brains like microscopic earthling and managed by awesome members like xbox & yordan... Now that the brains have gotten busy, it is difficult for mediocre brains like me to reply to existing topics and open new topics.A technique I used to implement while teaching small children was based on the penalty system. It is basically a simple system where the group of people is fixed and moves in rotation. So let's say 5 people decide to register for this week's topic. Member 1 is to open the topic for the week, 2,3,4,5 have to respond either on day 2 or according to their "roll number".. 2 on day 2, 3 on day 3 and so on.. But if you fail to reply by your roll number day, you get a penalty and will have to open a topic. And like I said, it moves in a circle.. So obviously Member 2 would open a fresh topic the next week. And no spamming to complete your turn Any topic and no limit of replies. I am pretty sure I would get plenty of penalties if starscream enters the group What do you guys think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mahesh2k 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2011 lol @velma. I don't know if there is any other way better than posting. If others here post new good topics or comment on existing ones. Then surely forums will be active again. Other than that i have no ideas for making forums active. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What are we supposed to post about? xDTo make this forum alive I mean, (:Posts need to have life in them! probably put more excitement icons on posts? hehe just kidding, but yes it's important that we be more realistic and up to date with our topics (if we aren't requesting help on issues) and bring out lots of new gadget topics - which to a lot of us (i think) is quite exciting and also be open with whatever you read on or come across and share... you never know how many would be excited to read through your shares hehe Edited October 5, 2011 by manuleka (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
