I really hate how dead this forum is.
Just because Creed is being inactive doesn't mean these forums have to be. I think we have quite a nice community here. But sometimes there are multiple days that go by without any posts. I think we should think of something to do to promote the site some more. It's like 2008 in here.

Re: I really hate how dead this forum is.
The mods and admins aren't active. I send Steve PMs and he doesn't respond. There has been no update as far as the site updates go. So we can forget about a new site design to appeal to more people. It feels like the people in charge have given up on this site also. Without strict leadership we get shitty trolls like TA.
Also, how would we promote the site? This site only appeals to fans of the most hated band in recent memory. People on ABB have no reason to come here, their site is superior to our own in terms of design. Some older users here sometimes dont post in the band boards or just lurk. Quite frankly, theres not much to talk about when were not complaining lol. For so long, during the break up, we talked about everything related to Creed. Now that they are reunited, we just have to wait for them to give us something to talk about. And the worst thing is, all though they have reunited, they surely arent dedicated to only the one band. With them all planning on releasing solo albums this year and the next. Their will be stuff to talk about, it just wont always be Creed related. just some thoughts. |
Re: I really hate how dead this forum is.
I agree. I'm not sure what we could so. Mabey promote it on boards for bands similar to Creed.
We need a new site design, we need to ban TA. And we need to cheer up lol. With DK gone I feel like we really have to try and keep the community together. There are alot of creed related things we can talk about. Even the sections of bands that are currently active go for the most part unused. I think we should just start anew and get rid of all current topics, get a new design and ban some of the members that do very little but contribute to empty space and empty posting. If the sight doesn't change soon I think me, you and some of the other members should just get together and start a new Creed fansite. |
Re: I really hate how dead this forum is.
Also, I mean no disrespect to Steve or Teri. Just stating my opinion. I'm on my Ipod so I can't edit my previous post to put this in.

I'm open to the idea of us starting anew here or somewhere else. But we must put a lot of effort into keeping it active and fresh. |
Re: I really hate how dead this forum is.
Hey guys.. I was thinking about starting a new creed site up, you guys have great points.. This place is dead. It sucks. There is like 10 active users..
|
Re: I really hate how dead this forum is.
What the hell kind of activity can you expect when the band is not doing anything? There's nothing new to discuss and how many of the same boring threads can you have? "What's your favorite album?" "What's your favorite song?" "What does this song mean?"
"Why aren't there more new posts?" lol |
Re: I really hate how dead this forum is.
We could have a forum that's not restricted to only Creed/AB/SS. It could be a multi-subject forum. With various boards offering different discussion.

I wish Jarred didn't hate us, lol. He'd be down. I can mod the site and i have a friend who can design it. But i wouldn't be able to pay for the domain name as I'm just 17. I meant site in the posted you quoted BTW. My ipod changed it. |
Re: I really hate how dead this forum is.
Your 17.. Ha.. Wow.. I'm sure Jared doesn't hate you guys.. I joined ABB and
It's nice, I've got the same name on there, what's it gonna hurt to join.. I mean really? And they don't hate creed on there, there are a select bunch that don't care for creed as much as AB. And you can start a forum for free.. Maintaining it is the hard part Quote:

Yeah, I'm just going to make a proboards forum for the forum. But i want a website for Creed fans that is updated often. ABB and TABN are all Alter Bridge only sites. Not forums but sites. I think that we need a huge Creed fansite like what they have over there since Steve is unable to Update and moderate over here more. |
Re: I really hate how dead this forum is.
This site needs an overhaul, I prefer coming here but it's a shame there aren't many people here.
|
Re: I really hate how dead this forum is.
It's simple, there's really nothing more to discuss on a relatively inactive band. They aren't on tour, they aren't writing a new album, there's no new music to discuss, they aren't out making headlines by doing stupid things. I've been a part of the original Creednet or some form of Creed discussion since 2000 and there really isn't anything left to discuss. Maybe it's time to move on.

Re: I really hate how dead this forum is.
I want to make it clear I don't hate anyone here... this is just a message board after all ;) I just find it gets out of hand sometimes, taking jabs at the band members or their families/friends. I understand every forum has opinions of all kinds & I've dealt with that for quite some time over on TABN, I just find it better when everything is civil (for the most part) - arguing over tiny things is pointless really.
On the subject of a new Creed fansite... I'm not really sure I'm up for it right now. I've been through the mill with TABN so far lol you have no idea how much time & effort it takes managing a website and putting up different personalities. Thankfully we have a great Mod staff over there though. Imo. I think we all should wait it out for a bit & see what Steve has in store for CreedFeed, I would be willing to still pitch in with graphics & what not. Right now though news is slow & everything is focused on AB and Scott... so like it's been said there isn't much we can discuss at the moment. |
Re: I really hate how dead this forum is.
Still, even the Scott and AB forums here aren't very active. I will say that I am REALLLLY excited for Scott's new solo album. The songs he's played live and the demos he showed on the live chat he did sound amazing. His voice sounds like it kicks ass on them aswell.

Re: I really hate how dead this forum is.
Well, no matter how dead it becomes, I'll probably stay with it until something better comes along or it sinks like the titanic.

Re: I really hate how dead this forum is.
I don't come over here that often because I'm busy helping out in the two forums I am a staff member in. Some days, both sites are quiet, some days those sites are full of trolls and asshats and full of posts that I either have to report or moderate.
In fact, there is a thread that has gone south in the past and is going south again in the larger forum I'm a junior staff member on... I'm not a moderator there but part of my job there is helping the moderators by reporting nasty comments, posting a reminder of the rules, etc... I'm busy keeping an eye on it as I type this and making sure the non staff members are behaving themselves... If one of them starts going nuts again, I'll have to contact the admins/mods again. Joy. *HEAD DESK* After seeing what my friend 1111 did to get her site set up, I know it is a LOT of work. First of all, she had to figure out what she wanted in the site itself... Like which forums and subforums she wanted, then she had to find a name for it, see if the domain she wanted was free, and then purchase the software... And that's all before it was up and running!!! I'm only a Super Moderator on 1111's site (USS) and there are days when I want to rip my hair out because the software goes nuts, there is a power outage at the server, or things just go completely wonky over there. And that's only the minor things that can happen... You have to program the site to ban the spammers, watch for the trolls/asshats constantly and keep up with general site maintenance on a daily basis... Plus keep an eye out for anything that could make the site crash without warning. And that's only the tip of the proverbial iceberg... Some days, one doesn't even see the administrators/moderators at the site I'm a junior staff member in but they are there, watching things in Stealth mode, which means they are invisible to everyone except for the other admins/moderators. Just because we don't see Steve and the other mods doesn't mean they are not around, making sure everything is okay.... I go in stealth mode in 1111's forum myself, just in case I'm the only mod around and there is a known troll around... Sometimes popping out of nowhere is the best way to keep a troll in line, it kinda makes them paranoid that a moderator is watching them even though they may not be visible to the troll... ;) If Steve wants some help designing and setting up the new forum look when he gets around to it, I am willing to pitch in and use my experience to help out if he wants me to. As for TA, that's really up to Steve and our other mods if they wish to ban her permanently. I know she's left me alone for the most part since her three day ban a while ago but I don't know if she's harassing others or not... I'm still relatively new to the board here and don't know a lot of you very well yet. As for other Creed related sites, I can add that sometimes PBF is active, other times, it's pretty quiet... It all depends on who is in there and posting I guess. Frankie does her best to keep things hopping over there and so do a lot of the other members. :) Just my $0.02. |
Re: I really hate how dead this forum is.
I really don't get why some people on here want to ban TA, she's not doing anything wrong anymore.. and she says nice things.. If you don't like it... Then just ignore it. That's life.

I personally don't think it's a real person. Whenever I see TA was the last person to respond to a thread, I tend to stay clear of that thread. Nonsensical ramblings really have no purpose. It kills threads. |
Re: I really hate how dead this forum is.
Quote:
There is the ignore function over here and it does work. One won't get PMs from anyone on their ignore list. ;) I'm trying to remain neutral on the subject of TA... Let's just say my moderator and junior staff member training are the only thing keeping me neutral right now. :p |
Re: I really hate how dead this forum is.
I really enjoy this site even though it is badly outdated. I rarely post here but I read nearly everyday and the regular members here seem like good and sensible posters. Maybe we will hear news from Steve soon regarding the site.
Also, I am regular member on TABN and while it is designed better and more active than this site, the majority of people are pricks there unlike here. I can attest that DK has his hands full over there. |

Re: I really hate how dead this forum is.
If I could add my own .02 here, please allow me.
I've been a member of CreedFeed for as long as I can remember. 2002 maybe? In that time, I've raised two children, bought a house in another state, moved to that state, got a new job and have had much less time to spend online. I know that Steve has bought his first house and has really got his hands full there, so he doesn't have nearly as much time as he once had to keep the sight updated. Dogstar has gone through some life-changing experiences recently as well. I'm glad CreedFeed has managed to stay in place as long as it has. We've had ups and downs and last the year was pretty exciting for us all with the reunion. I mean absolutely no disrespect to any of you, but if you feel that this place isn't as exciting for you as it once was, we're not going to grab your leg and cry to make you stay. Everyone is free to do what they want. It is my opinion that everyone comes into your life for a reason. I believe that Creed brought me to a great group of friends who came into my life for a reason and I've managed to keep in touch with them. Many of them no longer post here but we still stay in touch. So if you don't like it here, feel free to try things out someplace else. You won't be hurting anyones' feelings. But as long as Steve keeps the site up, I'll continue to come here and post. It may not be nearly as often as when I was younger (I'm 43) but it's still one of my homes on the net. |
Re: I really hate how dead this forum is.
I'm not going anywhere, I've been here for almost ten years.. sure I've had different usernames but I always felt at home here. Sure things are slowed down and we can't dwindle in the past... we just need something big to happen and I think this site would take off again.

For those who don't know: Purchasing a home and getting it set up the way you want it takes time, I know that because my husband and I own our home also. It also requires upkeep and if one has an older house like we do, that can take up a LOT of time. Quote:
I am not going anywhere either. I'm not over here as much as I would like to be but dang it, I like this site and plan on hanging out here as long as Steve and the rest of the mods allow me to be around. Every site has busy times and slower times. One site I'm a staff member on can have over 1000 posts in less than 24 hours (keep in mind that there are over 25,000 members there with about 2000 members who post in there daily). Yet there are days that there are less than 200 posts in 24 hours over there. The site I'm the Christian moderator on (USS, my friend 1111's site) is somewhat active although I have seen days on it that no one posted anything for something like 6 hours. No joke. But that's a tiny, almost brand new site, with less than 200 members in it... And even that site has its busy days, especially if we have a controversial thread running wild. That's when the fun begins for us staff members... :rolleyes: (I'm sure that any moderator/administrator/site owner can understand that!!!) Personally I don't care how busy a site is most of the time. It's the people who are a part of the site and that make it great that keeps me coming back. And even though I don't know a lot of you here very well, y'all seem to be a great bunch of people. (I do know some of you from PBF, that's a bonus in my opinion too...) So I guess that means I like it here and will probably stick around. :p Oh, the latest version of vBulletin is 4.0.8 FYI... That's the version of vB that USS is on and I like it. :) |

What Teri said, especially about the friends part :)
This was my first home on the net as far as forums, but yeah, life does happen and it takes away sometimes from the time I can spend online. I check in here when I can, as I still love AB and Creed, and I check my e-mail for reported posts/spam and such. As Teri said, as long as this board stays open, I'll be here every now and again. |
