I'll do that

Yeah, I can maybe see that. But I think it was happening long before AI really came into the picture. That could just become the final nail. I use AI from time to time, for complex coding. I know just enough to break things, but have the understanding to work with it. So I would venture to say it has its good and bads. But I also think it has to do with a niche, like [mention=624]Senkusha[/mention] pointed out. As with my new community site, we're really the only community style site out right now. So it's seeing a little attention, but I'm trying to apply the "if you can't beat them, join them" But in my own way. Take Discord, for example. I feel like Discord is a huge disruptor, especially when it comes to gaming. But last night, I integrated Discord with the site so It pulls posts from the forums and shares a nice clip from the post. Just enough to engage them to visit hopefully. Time will tell if it will work. But slowly, the number of users are making their way to discord, and I hope they also stop by the forums, as they can now use discord to make an account.

I'm a longtime forum creator. I've been building forums all the way back since 2002. I wonder if most of us who make forums these days are older. It’s starting to feel like forums are a thing of the past, and the only way they might come back is if something happens to social media and honestly, I just don’t see that happening. Like the people in this post said: people are lazy. Even if you make it easy for them to register, they most likely won’t post. I’ve recently created three new communities: one for my business, one for Red Dead, and one for a game currently in development. Out of the three, the last one is the only one doing halfway decent and I’ve had to pour a ton of money and time into it. Even with all that effort, getting people to post is like pulling teeth. I’ve written solid news articles relentlessly, made tools with software to support the community… Speaking of that, I initially locked access to one of the tools behind registration. When I shared the link on Reddit, people completely lost their minds. However, it was somewhat successful lots of people registered to gain access. But the feedback was so overwhelmingly negative that I had to open it up to everyone. After that, registrations plummeted. I still get a few here and there, but for the most part, people just use the content and leave without saying a word or contributing anything. I think it's just human nature at this point, the mindset of "I want instant access and I don’t want to give anything in return, but I’m definitely entitled to it."

You can always ask me anything. But here Magix, put together a very good guide for new players. https://www.grayzonewarfare.net/threads/lamang-academy-beginners-guide.100/ That should help a lot!

Thanks :). Well, that's the nice thing about it, you can switch back and forth. So what ends up happening is that many people level up doing PvE and then switch over to PvP. The new PvP update is crazy fun! Yeah, you really should and if you end up liking it, you can sub on our forums :P

Honestly, I feel GZW could really set the standard for how a military-style shooter should look and feel just like DICE did with Battlefield 1942. I see nothing but good things ahead. If you like shooters man I would highly recommend pickup a copy

After Red D3ad, I thought I'd make one for the other game I play/love to play when I get the free time. GZW | .NET URL https://www.grayzonewarfare.net Anyone feedback is welcome.

It may help if you get paypal, wires cost money. $25 and or $50 if you're going outside of the us that is.

I ended up having to get it from here as cdkeys keep giving me an error. Maybe because I was trying to buy more then one copy. None the less. Thanks for the feedback guys. I picked up 3 copies of the Ultimate Edition (PC) Now I'll just wait for the sale to end and then do a giveaway :)

Not a bad idea, has anyone got anything off of CDKeys before? This would be good. As I want to wait until the sale is over and then do it.

You know what AI great minds think a like :P But it looks like Steam did away with the ability to hold onto it and give it when ever you wanted. Now you have to give it away as soon as you buy it :(

Anyone one that has not played Red Dead 2 but maybe interested. Steam has it on sale for 80% off right now until the 17th of this month. I say 80% because I would get the Ultimate Edition over the reg but the UE is $19.99 and the Reg is $14.99. Then you can get addicted and then join my forums :) It's a WIN WIN for both of us lol..

It's an interesting topic for sure. I have a business website and forums, and now my hobby forum. On both, I keep my name private. For my business, my name is GN Support (on the forums, that is). My email has my first name, but for my gaming community, like AI said, I just use the domain. Now, there was a little thought behind that move. I want search engines to pick up on my domain as much as possible. I personally don't think it hurts you in any way, but that's just my opinion.

I was just pounding this same question. I'm 50/50 on it. I feel like “build it and they will come,” but also, having staff could help kick things off. As I sat there thinking about it, I realized that for forum owners, we need to give users something they’re not getting from other sources. And that differs from community to community. Until there's a huge movement away from places like Reddit, Facebook, X, and Discord, what's the real incentive? People are extremely lazy nowadays and come with a “what's in it for me” mentality, in my opinion. So, with that logic, for the last week I've been coding/developing a Posse Finder, since my community is based on the game Red Dead. It's unique and offers something specifically targeted to that community. So, we’ll see how it goes. Also, I want to talk to someone about the credit system you guys have here. I have a few ideas on how this could work for my community but in a slightly different way.
