Require a forum account to view threads/posts. Any chance that we could try invite only for a few weeks/months?
 
What are you talking about? Are you talking about locking this entire forum off and making it invite only? I'm sorry but no, then traffic would be dead.

No not really, we just wouldn't have any leeches. Activity would stay the same and the members that do join would be hand picked by people that are already members here. Therefore quality could only go up.
 
No, activity will go down because no fresh members will join. They'll just go to a different forum.
 
I agree with needing a forum account to see the posts. I was actually reading this being logged out, I didn't notice it until I clicked "Post Reply".
But I don't agree with the invite-only, what if many HQ members are going to join the forum but they don't know anyone that is inside the forum that could invite them? They won't be able to join then.

I was only bringing the invite only portion up as an idea. The main suggestion is needing a forum account to view threads.
 
Nothing to leech of this forum. It's not like I see people posting dumps or anything. Forum is dead, making it invite only will just make it more dead.
 
What are we doing, becoming elitists? Invite only is a terrible idea.
 
Actually, making it invite only will make it seem more exclusive. So that will mean more people will join. Well, that's how I think when a site is invite only.

Thank you.

Look, I've been a webmaster for 2 years, slightly longer than RG has been around (so I'm assuming TE's experience.) But I don't really care about that. What I'm saying is, in 2 years I've seen websites crash and burn a lot.

RG is just staying above the "dead" line. It's almost outgrown itself and died out. Unless we're calling it quits, do not make it invite only. What we need is fresh members, and they aren't wasted space. Tbh, anyone who thinks fresh members are wasted space is an idiot. Fresh members are the life of the forum.

Invite only is a TERRIBLE idea, let's get a shoutbox instead. And, needing an account to view threads is stupid IMO too. Let guests preview content, then have the forum speak for itself.
 
We're getting new members daily, no need to make it invite only. It is a bad idea, just leave the forum how it is. I'm sure advertising will be happening soon.
 
I think it's a good idea, we could give it a shot.. just take a look at how hacking.rs was?
They were booming because of the secrecy. Kind of had a 'pentagon' effect about it.
Also, may I point out at the people online plugin. Constantly I see like... 20 members online and what... 200 guests or some shit?
This is what gets my vote ^^.
 
We should just make the dumps section elite+ and guests can't view threads. I don't support invite only

That's exactly what I was thinking. If people can't get something on their own, it automatically becomes more desirable. We just have to figure out a way to keep people from inviting faggots. How 'bout if you invite somebody and they get banned within a certain amount of time you get banned for inviting a faggot?
