    Ideas for Making the Forums More Active

    in News and Announcements

    Posted

    I think the general idea is that people have gotten older and there has been a lack of upcoming content creators to let's say "replace" the ones that got older and don't have the time to make stuff like they used to.

    Like @erhminer said, I think there's a lack of tutorials for people to get started with making stuff. I like @monster jam fan's track making tutorial but I haven't actually used it yet due to lack of motivation for making stuff.

    And this is just speculation, but maybe one of the things that's holding people back from making things (like mjfan posted above and myself) is that they wouldn't be utilized. There's lots of tracks on the site that were made just to be used for a certain league. If you spend a week's worth time (idk how long it takes to make tracks on average so we'll just say a week) making a track for a league and the league doesn't even happen (I've seen this happen before but I won't name names) or the guy who's running the league doesn't even like the track, you feel like you've wasted a lot of valuable time that you could have used on something else. Same thing if you make your own custom truck for a league and the league doesn't start.

    I think the community here would benefit from a "comeback" league or something. Nothing over the top, but just something to get people back into the game and to get new people interested, and maybe to get people like me who have been here for a bit but haven't really done anything. I would prefer someone who has been here for a while and knows what they're doing to run it, but that's just an idea.

    It's just that most content creators nowadays are busy with irl stuff, and have a long list of projects that they want to get done before starting another one.

    100% agree with this, which is why I think more people should be encouraged to at least try and make their own stuff

    although not everyone is willing to try or it may be a confusing or difficult process for them, which is also understandable

    I guarantee I'm not the only one that stopped posting because I didn't like certain people here. now I haven't actively posted here in maybe a year or two, so I've been out of the loop for a bit. that being said, I think I have a few ideas on why the site isn't as active

    1: lack of leagues and/or fun runs. I think back in 2016-17 there was a few different types of leagues and everyone was willing to try out at least one fun run a week

    2: some people have limited or are no longer interested in monster trucks, which is what this site is for. I wasn't interested in monster trucks for a while, so I didn't come here that much. then my interest grew again and I came back for a bit

    3: some people are simply moving on and aren't looking back. I think I've seen this happen a few times here

    4: some people have moved on to BeamNG

    5: maybe another reason (though probably not) is because of a lack of content creators? I mean we have some really really skilled guys on here but maybe there isn't enough. take a look at the request form for example, there's people making requests a lot most likely because they don't know how to make the stuff themselves. sure there's guides everywhere but maybe they're too confusing for people or they don't want to give in the effort in case they suck at it

    6: the same to what i said at the top, some people left because they didn't like other people or vice versa

    there's probably more or other reasons and maybe the 6 I just listed are terrible reasons, guess we'll see

    Yeah I'll be fixing that problem, I saved everything Edy had on his google drive to my own and I'll get the links updated as soon as possible. Meant to do it sooner but I got backed up with paint work, so all of you looking for logos just bear with me cause they're probably in those files I saved.

    do you still have them?
