I think posting packages are great and gives a little extra dip in activity on a forum.

 

Do you order posting packages?

I don't really like posting packages, but I do appreciate the work done in them. In other words, the people doing the work do a good job, but the problem is it's impossible to get them enough to make it seem like the posters are real members. As I said before, I need daily work (as much as possible) for at least two years. That would be the ideal situation. Does anyone agree or not?

Because they're not around all the time. They're not around enough. But I understand that's just the reality of the real world. It's tough to get people to do posting packages and you can't expect them to do miracles.

Well lets get u trained on Accepting them correctly lol u werent on so i had to accept them.

These are great, but the main problem is the same people are in different forums and you don't get new users by requesting packages in different forums.

Absolutely. However, I am more inclined towards daily exchange but I must be careful with who. Some people, despite me telling them I will do quality posts, come on my forum, write a simple sentence in several threads and that's it. Or even post link to the music they are listening to. Once, I had a thread about something and he simple said: Oh, that's cool.

Like, BRUH.

 

Packages are safer for quality posts while exchange is good for daily activity but you can't expect good quality posts.

I have been known to in the past use post packages for activity but will admit, I don't use them as much as I used to anymore.

I completely agree with you. There are a lot of issues with packages and exchanges but when we are running forums and we do not have organic activities, we might end up relying on them.

Since I am not a forum owner, I do not know much about this but I do agree that it will boost engagement in a forum

Ah, the classic debate about posting packages. It's like a good cup of coffee—some folks get a kick out of it, while others think it's just soupy nonsense!

 

Now, for the package enthusiasts, they view them as a necessary evil, a way to jazz up the forum while they wait for the real-life folks to stroll in. But as you all have pointed out, it's a bit like throwing confetti at a party where no one showed up—looks great if you're into plastic bits, but where's the actual fun?

 

On the other hand, we’ve got the exchange lovers, bravely navigating the treacherous waters of "Will this person really engage or just drop a link to the latest tunes?" It’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack, or maybe just a decent conversation in a sea of “That’s cool.”

 

And Shuva, bless your heart, whether you're an owner or not, just knowing a thing or two about forums means you're already contributing to the conversation, my friend! Keep those thoughts coming!

 

So, what's your take? Do you think there's a magic number when it comes to finding that sweet spot between packages and organic interaction, or are we just grasping at straws here?
