Board questions....

Funbrunette · 11-05-2002, 02:53 PM

Ok, got a few questions for you guys...

1. What makes you join a board?

2. Why do you stick around a certain board instead of another?

3. Do the prizes/shirts and people make a difference?

4. What's the ONE thing that would make you "ban" a board?

The reason I'm asking is there seems to be so many new boards...I think it's great...I myself consider myself a bit of a board whore...lol I've met some amazing people on some of these boards!

StuartD · 11-05-2002, 03:04 PM

I join boards that I think are fun.... with not too much bickering.
hense... I tend to lurk a bit at first... see what the atmosphere is like first.

I post on boards that are nothing but fun, boards that are nothing but business. One big one that seems to be nothing but gossip (at least these days).

Also, some I find have lots of company owners and sales people, some have stay at home people doing their own thing to make some $$... avs sites, tgps and the likes.

They're all so different...

For me, I try to get on one of each. One fun one, one serious... and I like to talk to the people who work for themselves as much as the people who have team of 20 or so.

There are a ton of boards though... so I try to find the best one for each category that I think suits me the best, and I stick around there.

But hey... that's just me

Hehehe! You may be disapointed here!

baddog · 11-05-2002, 04:10 PM

1. who referred me to the board, and the ongoing discussions when I first browse it.

2. the people, the attitudes and the discussions after I join.

3. prizes/shirts - no // the people - definitely

4. asshole mods

Magnus3x · 11-05-2002, 04:19 PM

I hit some boards to actually learn something or see what's going in the Biz. I hit a couple of "fun" boards where there are great people but it's all fluff topics and points of view.

I wont go to boards that have daily pissing and flame matches. The merch does'nt mean that much to me as you can tell by the amount of posts I usually have. It floors me that people work in this biz full time so they say.. and can have 800 posts in 2 weeks..LOL

I never really posted on boards too much until we launched SitePass. Then Stan turned me on to this board and said that Evil Chris had just launched it, and I've been here ever since. I think its just because its a fun board to hang out on.

sherie · 11-05-2002, 04:31 PM

I join them cause I am stalking StuartD and baddog!

Seriously, I get different things out of all of the ones that I join. Granted the people make me coming back for more.

Prizes shmizes, I never win anything and always forget to try and win LOL

I am here cause of the shirt LOL j/k

I am here cause Chris loves SpongeBob

Evil Chris · 11-05-2002, 04:41 PM

Don't you mean "cheese" Bob?

twinkley · 11-05-2002, 04:46 PM

Hey FunB!

1) the people on the board. If there is a lot of pissing, or "apparent" hatred/clickiness on a board, I wont go there. The people have to be friendly, and open.

2) see #1

3) nope, they are just a bonus. If I dont like a board, im not gonna post for a tshirt, a hat or money

4) bad attitudes - i hate depressing, mean people

twinkley · 11-05-2002, 04:47 PM

SpongeBob is NOT cheese!!!

Cracker Barrel is cheese, spongebob is sponge!

1. What makes you join a board?
The people, the general attitude, the activity levels and the topics

2. Why do you stick around a certain board instead of another?
The people, the general attitude, the activity levels and the topics

3. Do the prizes/shirts and people make a difference?
Yeap, makes it more fun and keep me coming back

4. What's the ONE thing that would make you "ban" a board?
General Unfriendliness, worthless pissing matches, "blasting without thinking", degradation/hate posts.

CumSensei · 11-05-2002, 11:15 PM

When you ask something.

1. If it is nice people there. if the site looks good in many ways

2. its different because on a few boards you can ask about that thing and on another board you can ask about something else. for example 1 board nows everything about the sponsor i wanted to join.

3. its always fun to get things.

4. Downtime. Bad people, Unprofesional , And much more...
im a little tired now so you will understand maybe half of everything i said now! Goodnight everyone!

And Many Kisses From Sweden!

LadySharlot · 11-06-2002, 07:03 PM

Good question.

I visit many boards, and cosider myself somewhat of a Board Whore also...when I have time. (I get too anxious if I leave them for long though. LOL) However, I definitely have the boards that I like and don't.

For me, the biggest factor is the people. I just can't stand to be on a board where everyone claims they're 6'7" tall and bulletproof. Nope--I want honesty and realism. I want to know who YOU are, not what personna that you wish to create. I know that that GFY board has some good stuff on it from time to time, but I just can't wade through all of that crap trying to find the diamonds.

Promotions are good for gaining people, and since I don't have my t-shirt yet, I SHOULD state that they're excellent promo tools. However, it's been my experience that if people like the boards, they'll stay. (Please don't dis-continue the t-shirts before I get my jersey though!!

) HOWEVER, they ARE great for general advertisements.

I'll wear my X-biz t-shirt to a show sometimes, and branding is ALWAYS good.

There are a few reasons why I don't visit a few boards more often though. Some of them are because I don't like the attitudes. Again, I prefer honest people, not trash talking and "hey--Fuck you"s. And, as much as I hate to say it, I typically avoid boards that are Too busy. Because there ARE a lot of boards out there, I try to visit as many as I can. If it's too busy that I can't keep up by visiting once a day, I typically don't go there as much as I wish to.

BUT--that's just my overworked and underpaid position! LOL

Huggs!!!

Let me say that I come back to this board because it has a friendly, non-threatening atmosphere.

On some of those boards, any time you post you are setting yourself up to be ripped.

Some of them are so cliquish that you feel as if they just don't want "outsiders".

The thing I find most bothersome is a board where when a male has a disagreement with a female, even an innocuous one, and then all the knights in shining armor come to her rescue and slam the guy whether he is in the wrong or not.

I suppose there is a place for all those types of boards and they are popular, but it is nice to have a place to post and get a break from them.

Shirts are great, but it is annoying when people post arbitrary nonsense just to increase their number of posts.

1. Cause someone recommended me to post on it or cause i know who runs that board (which is ur case buddies)

2. Open-minded ppl, mixed cultures, no spammers, nice attitude... and nice girls!!!

Lots of nice girls here btw...

3. PPL DO make a difference... prizes, well i'm cool with that too!

4. Dunno yet....

poppy · 11-07-2002, 12:54 PM

Hello Funbrunette and hello Xnations.

1. I joined Xnations because I know EvilChris. He is a well-respected person in the industry and a nice guy.

2. I feel comfortable on this board because the vibe is easy going.

3. Prizes do not make a difference.

4. Bad vibe and too much pissing.

Later skaters...

LaurieX · 11-08-2002, 02:15 AM

You're just saying that because you can't do as much with cheese whiz as I can!

Do I get a shirt now?

princess · 11-08-2002, 03:33 AM

Are you kidding? I'm just here cause Evil Chris is just too sexy *giggle*

I like boards that are fun, friendly.. and where you don't have to walk on egg shells. I think I try to look for places that work well with my personality. Although I've been around the block a time or two and visit a huge list of them from time to time. Never know what you might pick up on.

The prizes don't factor into why I'd visit a place. I can honestly say I've not gotten one TShirt or anything for that matter from posting on boards.

twinkley · 11-08-2002, 10:52 AM

I'm here because Evil Chris lets me SPAM Pillow Talk for free here hehehehe

Oh yeah,

And, cause if I miss morethan a day, he starts harrassing me on ICQ to come post!!

heheheehehhe

Just Kidding, I Love This Board!!

LadySharlot · 11-08-2002, 04:35 PM

OMG--If Princess hesn't gotten a t-shrit from a board, then we REALLY outta smack Helmy in the back of the head!!! Hahahhahaha

Yeah--I came here from the beginning 'cause EvilChris asked (then bugged) me to. Hahaha--I stay 'cause I like it, and because all the guys here are Hotties!! LOL

Huggs!
