The future of this forum;

1) Would it grow many folds in the near future, if so why?

or

2) would it die pretty soon, if so why?

On a side note, what is the recipe of success for a forum like this;

1) people
2) Contents
3) Luck
4) Management that includes good or bad mods.

ChaiWala

you have got an intersting question my freind...

waisay i think for now, this forum is going down.. but i also look at the positive side..
so i would like it to grow.. and become a valuable source of daily life advices, suggestions, knowledge base for all of the people around the world.

that will take time, but noting is impossible..!

for 2: i think its a mix of all of the four..!! its like car parts.. all parts work together to make the car work..! so.. not just one thing.. all things will bee equally important.

so lets make that happen.

Haristotle

If you receive a reply three days after then even if you try to make it flourish, you may not be able to do that.

ChaiWala

bus dekho.. ab kaisay bharta hai keh PF

First of all "people" make the forum. Never underestimate that. You could have 50k people saying nothing substantial on a forum and it will be popular. Also conflicting views and discussion generate discussions that last longer.

Secondly content. Search engines look for content.

Luck doesnt have much to do with it ..but then again doesnt everything have to do with luck?

Bad management will make you lose people. This is a social outlet for people and users tend to get attached to their social outlets. Mistreatment of users by management will cause rifts.


From the technical perspective a fast and responsive website always tends to keep people browsing.

Need more categories.

Fayax said it all...

comment on "need more categories" .... once people start discussing particular topics, categories come into existence by the time... you know what i mean

^ sounds good to me.

Blonde Baji

good to me too ;smile;

Haristotle

Very good.

Of course "people" construct an engine that pushes the blood of participation to keep the heart of a "forum" throbbing but where do the people come from, let's ponder into the question of attracting people.

Contents are the wings that make an information fly, a valuable information sitting in a closed box will remain there unless the smell of attractive "contents" comes out of the box to reach its logical target audience.

Contents without "context" is dessert with out sugar, the sweetness of the information is found in its relevance, its proximity to the audience.

Conflict provides fuel to a logical debate, it is like heat that cooks the food but over cooking is nothing but destruction. A conflict may help to provide a logical conclusion or it may jeopardize the very reason for the debate.

Management provides a soft handle to handle conflicts, providing low heat for the debate and a sprinkler for the fire.

I see what you are trying to say

But that seems like a circular argument to me... don't you think, you need to first attract people to do that in order to attract others

Haristotle

Love and hate have smell of their own, people who like to be involved in your work are the biggest source of "news" dispensation about your work, its like a torch one will lit up another one. I am sure many guests are visiting this place, but trust me we pass by a cadaver only once.

At least one section of your forum should be enough conspicuous to get a visitor glued to its contents. In many ways a forum works like a stage, a quick reply to a visitor's writing works like chocolate wrapped around chocolate.

I am inspired more by words than by smilies.

AQ

sometimes, feelings are not described in words...
in any case, check your PM, cuz there was a reason I was smiling...

ChaiWala

Salaam dostoun..
it just takes time.. and we will do it..!

AQ

WasSalaam.

Insha Allah CW, we shall do it. Nothing can be achieved over night ... however, haristotle has a point in this thread... in order to achieve something, we need to act upon something...

There is a cause behind pakfuse... a noble one indeed... This isn't a site to achieve a 15 minute fame
