Do you still post at that other board that was all about two young British guys living together and bickering like an old couple online? |

Actually, I just went there yesterday. First time I have been there in months...maybe a year even. I may try to convince them to shut down the zombie board and jump ship.

Every zombie board I have been on believes that their forum is fine. That they will get new members to come in someday if they just keep hope alive. One board I was trying to convince to give up and come here actually shut down...then they had links that lead me to the brand new forum that the admin. created that is suppose to solve everything!! Of course, he stuck all the previous forum post in to an archive section and now the forum looks even weaker because it's basically new with little activity and about 10 people on it where 5 post regularly.

That's not the forum mentioned in the opening post, is it? Other than that thread link you sent me, I haven't been around that board in forever so I don't know.

I think I am, but a perverted zombie board where everyone want to talk about fapping or not fapping. "I'm a fapper" he says. "I'm fap free" the other says. "fap. fap. fap. fap" one more said. "paf paf paf" said the retarded one |

We will need a lot more sessions. Take these drugs and come back tomorrow. To ease your mind, I don't think this is a zombie board. I think it's actually in better shape than most realize. If you look at the members page and look at the activity dates, you have about 20 posters active here in the last 2 days. That's discounting the troll accounts. Going back 2 weeks, you add another 5-7. So, within the last 2 weeks, 25 posters have come here. The problem is some are not posting. So, it's not that we don't have the members active, it's that there is a lack of interest in what is going on. That is why I see it necessary to do the reorganization you are talking about. I wish more people would discuss what the problem is in the topic you have set up. This forum is okay right now even if activity seems low. The good news is, the interest is there.

This. One thing that's been nagging at me is that it feels like most people here are just apathetic about what happens to 6SW from here on out. ![]() Edit: I made a very rare typo for me using "hear" instead of "here". About time for me to get some sleep here soon. Edit 2: It also makes me feel like I'm too interested in what happens with 6SW.

Yo. Actually, I think I'd consider myself more indifferent than apathetic. At the moment, I don't care much about the wrestling sections of the board, but still like posting in the off-topic sections and maybe post mindlessly in the games/list/spamish threads if I'm bored and passing time. If I can still keep doing all that, I'm cool. I do care about the activity of this board though and would like for us to be as active as possible. The main problems I have though is that I don't often know what kind of topics to start to see if they can get any interest and I'm horrible at trying to do the opening posts too. I'd be like "Hey, you guys like to talk about this?" "Some shit happened. Discus!", etc. Another problem is that I'd like to, and have tried to, invite the few people I know, but wrestling is a hard sell. Most either don't care for it or have completely lost interest, like me. Of course it's also hard to sell wrestling enthusiastically when I barely care about it myself. So, I wouldn't be opposed to a rebranding, but this is just me. I'm sure there are plenty others who don't feel the same. So yeah, just some of my thoughts on the matter. |

There is always the option of just renaming the forum to 6 Star Forums or something along those lines. We have a wrestling section like always, but it might be easier in this wrestling down time to get people to come to a forum that doesn't make them think it's just about wrestling. |

We already talked about that idea a little bit in that other folder, the 6 Star Entertainment part of the thread, but Cybrus seems very much intent on always keeping this a wrestling focused message board for whatever reason. I fully agree with the idea of backing off the wrestling a lot. That would leave us without a "gimmick" but I don't think the board necessarily needs a gimmick. It certainly doesn't need one to keep going since people discuss non-wrestling stuff a lot too and it's not like wrestling would no longer have any attention. And seeing that the new member sign up rate is pretty much non-existant, I doubt it could do much to hurt that either. ![]() Basically, what does 6SW have to lose?

Sharpshooter was already a wasteland of spam by the time it became Entertainment Crawl. It had been in a bad situation and then mismanaged until there wasn't much of any life left. If anything, what happened to Sharpshooter should be a good warning of the dangers of not doing something before it's too late when a board has seen better days.
No way... I would feel too much like we'd be under threat of being flooded with a homoerotic British pair and their bickering.

![]() Not to worry, they seem very satisfied with staying in their own little community of 5 or 6 people and doing nothing but posting what basically is their own personal blog as forum posts. That place is dead. To me, worse than when Sharpshooter finally died. If only they had the balls to realize it. Zombies think that they need to give it up already.

What sucks is that most the people there could be awesome additions to 6SW if the chose to come over, too. I think WX is also a perfect example of what not to do with a forum on the down slide in that a makeover alone won't solve the activity problems. They peaked when they became WrestlingMania again back around 2005 but for whatever reason that came to an end and they just went back to the same style that had brought them little success before. |

A few of them are members of 6 Star. They just stopped coming here mostly. Every forum I am a member of that is losing members and activity all seem to think that it's going to be Okay. The suggestion of abandoning their forum and shifting membership here (to a more active forum) just seem ludicrous to them. I can understand the person that created the forum not wanting to see their place fail and die, but there has to come a point when you realize you are fighting a losing battle. Also, I've never understood people being so loyal to a forum that they refuse to post anywhere else. You can be members of 2 or more places. |

I've pretty much always had this mentality and, until the last few months, I've almost always posted at multiple forums at one time.It's almost as if people feel they'd be betraying somebody by participating in a more active forum at the same time. As if they're afraid of accidentally putting in more energy in the other place than their "home" forum and as if it'd be some betrayal of friendship or something. It's made worse when their "home" board is dying because then they probably think they'd be abandoning it and really betraying somebody's friendship or whatever. It's just a message board. You go where there are interesting discussions and conversations, or where you think there could be at least. If it's half a dozen people talking to themselves, what is the point? That's when you open a blog since it'd obviously fit better. |

My join date here is 2006. That's when I looked for a new from because WX was dying then. -O- told me about this place. That was 6 years ago. And, I give them credit, they are still there. But, I'm not sure what stops them from coming here or coming back here. |

I just gave the place a look over and I have one question that maybe you might know the answer to: When and why did Heady give up his position as administrator?! That's just really shocking to me. I've known the guy as an admin since about New Year's 2003, and before that I barely knew anything about him at all so it might as well be the entire time I've known about him. I can't even fathom him being a "regular" member. |
