Where are all the admins?

Where are all the admins?
I see Nim sometimes here, but I never see him making any posts?
And is Kotten the only mod?

[seb]

this forums died down a lot to be honest, it seems Mike quit for good, Nim barely shows himself, most of the mods are 100% inactive, for example Malice.. so Kotten is pretty much the only active mod... shame.

i personally blame the quality of the game for the forums short life span.

[MrCostari]

Yeah that's gotta be it.
Although I still play a lot, and I'm far, far away from done

A forum can't live without active mods.

To get the forum rolling again. It need to integrate other zombie games. Keep DI as primary focus. But add a section for L4D. DR, Res and COD Zombies.

Make me mod! One person can't do it alone. If the root admin is nowhere to be found. This board is as good as gone... Sad...

theres not enough active members on this forum to justify new sections of different games in my view.

[MrCostari]

I believe we should add a Dead Island questions section, since I always have to ask them in the General section.
I believe we should also make an offtopic section (GFX, gadgets, Films, etc)
And maybe we should devide the Multiplayer section, into general, PS3, Xbox, and PC.

I will PM Nim about this, maybe he will take a look at this

[Boomstick_BANDIT]

I believe adding new sections would help getting NEW and ACIVE members.

Look at the numbers.

Survivors active in the past 24 hours
3399 Users have visited the forum. 65 members and 3334 guests.

That's alot of lurking. Make the board hidden to members only. Register to view.

I appreciate all of your suggestions!

First of all, as for me not showing myself as much anymore: I DO visit the forum daily to check to see that there aren't any problems, but I'm working on a-lot of other projects at the moment so posting any meaningful threads or posts is usually very hard for me.

I'll address as many of your suggestions as I can:

seb - Why do you think we need more mods besides Kotten? I'm not attacking you by the way, I'm genuinly interested. What do you feel is missing with only 1 mod present? My impression is that Kotten has been managing perfectly fine on his own, since there are barely any spammers or doubleposters around here anymore, there isn't much work anyway. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong! If the need should arise, I'll add some more active mods. You've been on here for ages, so I think you and hunter would be good choices. What do you think?

boomstick - I've thought about expanding the forum to include other zombie related games, but have delayed it for the same reason seb mentioned. I might try it later on this month though, I suppose there's no harm in trying. How many of you guys on here play l4d anyway?

I must admit I've thought about making the boards hidden to members only, but I've concluded that it would be against the spirit of the forum (which provides a-lot of help and troubleshooting for players). I've personally always been annoyed by forums that required registration as-well, and wouldn't want to make the same mistake here. Plus, we could end up with many useless accounts that either spam or don't do anything at all (practically the same as lurkers). I've provided many incentives for signing up (like the item giveaway), and I think that that's the way to go.

Mrcostari - There's already an off-topic section for all of those things GFX probably won't work however since there aren't too many artists on here as far as I've seen.

I think that the fact that the game was released right before big-shot games like Skyrim, Dark Souls and all of those gaming giants, and was also so buggy and frustrating to begin with, has caused many of this forum's potential members to lose interest in the game. Not much we can do about it there.

Keep the suggestions coming however! I love the initiative and creative thinking going on here! Thanks for contacting me Costari!

Hi guys,

I check in here from time to time but do not have time to read through every thread, if it is something major, please send us a PM.

i dont think i ever said we need more mods, i said Kotten was the only active mod, and that is a shame.
