    Hey everyone.

    Now i have noticed that everytime i visit the forums and click New Posts 95% is people who advertise their video's.
    As this is a *GAMING* community i almost don't see gaming discussions or even replies on posts.
    Most people on here only advertise, when compared to the Freedom! Forums where it is more active on the general gaming discussion...

    I have noticed that as well, though I do enjoy some of the videos that people post here, and talk about them after watching.

    I don't know whether it's because people don't feel the sense of community on this forum, on the Mortal Online forums there is a constant stream of discussions, feedback, critique and off-topic threads pretty much every day of the week. It might be because the users there share something in common that matters to them on some level, most of them are probably players, fans or at the very least interested in the game.

    But here at MGN, I think people might feel that yeah, we're all gamers, but we have very little in common beyond that unless we love the same type of games. There is a broad spectrum of gamers from different genres, tastes and age groups, which perhaps find little to interact with, though we all fall under the general umbrella of gamers.

    It may be that we just need something in common in our love of gaming that matters enough to all of us. I don't mean like something transient or external to gaming or MGN, but maybe topics like gaming technology, devices, when did you get into gaming, what we love most about games, etc.

    I couldn't have said it any better!

    I agree with that, MGN is still building up and grows with the day but still i kinda feel it is missing the social aspect. Maybe it is because for me it feels most are here only to advertise or the feeling that there is so much more potential that isn't being used. As a Gaming community i think there are some basic aspects that are missing that i hope will come in the near future to make this better.
    I have contacted the head of MGN about this also but haven't had a response yet.

    I think us founding members of this forum must stay active and think of ways to change that. Good point though.

    Agreed on that. But only a handfull is active on the social part. At least 90% only advertise their video's and don't care for anything else...

    So true. We have to make them feel this forum is useful for other things as well.

    I can feel a since of passion for MGN to succeed to bigger levels. I think it will happen we all just half to least take 5 to 10 minutes at least a day to respond or add something to the conversation.

    Agreed on that! I check the forums a couple times a week and am daily on the main Freedom forum. With more people laying the focus on the social aspect we could get the general part more alive. As were all gamers there are alot of topics we could talk about :smiley:
