The life and death of a forum
Forums live and forums dies
but what makes a fourm great?. Is it its amount of post or the quaility of post. Is it the way the forum is run or the forum is mis-run. Is it the topic its ranging from. I bet in the former CD they had lots of crazy posters but eventually killed them off and now left with the most respected chinese forum on the net.
I dont know what you are planning on doing with this forum DongFeng but it doesn't seem to work. If you are planning on rivialing China-defense or even supassing it. That will not happen because of the simple fact that it has all the most educated people all in a group. This forum is not that appealing to many people because most people on the internet want a flame war and want to bad mouth every country which they dont come from. Our experience base is small consisting of a few people which served as small time grunts in the armed forces. and many Air chair generals. The more people you get into this forum the bigger the chance to have experienced people drop in.
But the most important thing lacking in this forum is chinese. This surprised me to but if you think about it there is practically no chiense material here compared to chian defense. If anyone actually reads the chinese post they have more information than any of the other english post other people have. There is only one person that actually provides this and its Tphuang.
If this forum can make the first find or is the first to get source of information on english speaking forums more people will be attracted to this forum. If we had better places for these people to post information than maybe we will rivial to china-defense. And the people that can't read chinese can use this .
A piture section will also be needed. spilt into different sections and given a name or small describtion. This will attrach the lazy people looking for pictures. Anyway back to the main topic
This is my account of forum life on this particluar forum.
This forum has the highest amount of moderating ever in the history of forums i have been on. Every serval post their will be a comment from a moderator to calm down or stop the personal attacks. If there are no personal attacks being said dont moderate. People hate this when it happens. Well i can name serval people that hate it. Its annoying.
If a member makes a personal attack or breaks the rules, give them a offical warning and they will pretty much stop it for the rest of the posting from then on. But if you keep on warning them here warning them there its going to cause big problems.
Moderators
How is the moderating choosing process done? Do you pic the most quite people which add the least information to be a moderator or is it how much full screen images they post.
Moderators here should be the most knowledgble peopel on the thread which can actually see BS facts when they are presented. Moderators should have the most knowledge out of any member of the whole forum. The moderator should warm the member and back it up with proof or links to some proof(for the lazier ones)
They dont really moderate but are the choosen ones. It divided in the have's and have not's. You cannot debate a moderator in this forum becauses the simple reason they will warm you every time they are on the losing end of the stick.
Not talking about these moderators
crazyinsane105, sumdud, swimmerXC, T-U-P and tphuang.
No offense other moderators you complain to much
Peer Pressure
Every forum has a certain level of peer pressure. Some of the better forums like CD has a lot of peer pressure. No one says something stupid or childish there becuase they dont want to be looked down as the stupid ones. In ATS() they give out awards to show which people have contributed to the forum the most. Your votered in by the people instead of moderators, so its a fair competetion
If your wrong admit it. Thats a part of life. Everyone thinks they are better than everyone else in the forum. When Popeye gave some first hand experience about a certain topic a member which not be named responded with a psot that went something like this "no way i wont belive that so i'll flood you for 5 pages". I cant remember if this actually happened but i can picture it happening.
Repuation
I asked around forums and no one knows about this forum and some people dont even know about sinodefence.com. Do some advertising. Show the people you have a forum. Make accounts at other forums and spread the news. Its been one year? and you only have about 30active members out of the 500 members which have registered. This forum is not getting enough attention
Still problems
There are still problems here i have addressed on these threads
Posting Rallies
Police state?
Point system.(this one has been resloved with the reputation one but is not widespread usage).
Many of the existing problems like this have been resolved already but we need to get more people coming. The more people that come into this forum the more experienced people that would like to join
End Note
First off i would like to end this saying i have had a good experience i met many nice people on this thread.
This is probaly my last post in this forum because i expect i will be banned soon. Anyway i want to leave this forum feeling like i contributed to its development. If you want (i recommend that people start going to Avation forum not just about planes but everything...
The problems you are having with flame wars and who has the biggest ego and such events is becauses its a small forum. If you want to extend your reputation first make it as big as possible and do a clean up work later. You let many people in look at their character and ban peopel after you decide its ready to clean up after yo get what you want.
Sinodefence is a great chinese military site and lots of people link their information to this site. If only you could show them that you have a great forum.
And Gollevainen good luck handling the forum
Dont forget the key to a well known forum is a good member base(try build up to 1000 members),. Be the first. Good leaders.

Chinawhite:
You can debate with Flogger all you want, try and beat him with a logic stick for days, but please refrain from calling him a moron. Personal insults are not appreciated here and are in violation of our forum Code Of Conduct. Beyond that, I do enjoy debating with you. I hope you stick around!
