Facebook, Myspace, Twitter...

[_____V_____]

...IM programs - such as MSN, Yahoo and others...

Are most of the HDC members busy in them lately? Facebook and Myspace seem to be the most popular choices.

The traffic to the forums has decreased remarkably in the past couple months, if not longer.

Sometimes a whole 12/24 hour phase goes by, and there's little to no activity in HDC at all - even in the General Forum.

I hope its just a passing phase. Where is everybody?

Im only on facebook but rarely go there.

I know some people who are addicted to facebook, never off the thing. Im happy to post here but couldnt be bothered spending too much time elsewhere.

The HDC facebook group doesnt see much traffic either

I'm on myspace, facebook and Twitter most of the time, if im online. I'll try to make it here more often, but i've noticed that too.

Weather just got nice here, lots of outside work, fixing stuff, planting, getting the house ready for summer... you know, crap.

[ferretchucker]

I have Bebo, Myspace, Facebook and MSN.

I use Bebo maybe once every three months.

Last time I used Myspace was about a year ago,

Since I created my Facebook account I have yet to revisit it.

I will almost never initiate a conversation on MSN. If someone talks to me, 1 out of 4 times I might reply. I just can't be bothered with all those things. I don't want to broadcast my every move to the world wide web. Because (and here's the kicker) there could be anyone in the world. How do I know there isn't a stalker who chose me. Out of the many people with internet access, I'm pretty sure there's more than a few weirdos out there. That, and I just find them boring.


I check HDC at least five times a day if I'm at home. I have no idea why there's been no posting.

To tell you the truth, I still think the board needs some forum revision. There are too many forums. Some need to be merged, some need to take a hike and we could use a few new forums that are sorely missing.

I think I've went into detail about my preferred layout, so I won't bore anyone by repeating it. All in all, it's not going to change and I think that's a shame. I honestly believe simple restructure would drive traffic way up and encourage more good new members.

I've got neither and have been here all the time.

The topics just sucks, that's all.

For a scandinavian guy mostly all the topics seems to revolve around The States. I just can't relate to most of that shit.

Some have jobs to deal with, others have exams - school and college. Life is busy as heck.

I understand all that, but compare March & April of this year to March & April of last year and you ll see what I mean. Members' traffic to HDC has really, really thinned down for some weird reason.

Could be, but the format has been a pretty good attraction for quite some time now. New members are still joining, although not posting as much. I am talking about our own regular members. Plenty are either online sporadically and not posting, or offline for long intervals.

Has HDC becoming boring, all of a sudden? I wonder...

[missmacabre]

I am on Facebook, MSN and Twitter if I am online, it's a pretty important part of school for me. Keep me in contact with everyone, even my professors are on my facebook friends.

That said, it has nothing to do with my lack of forum posts. I make it on here a few times a day to check my PMs and keep up to date with Battle Royale, but rarely have time to say anything else with my homework load. I have 2 English reports to write today (one of them isn't even mine, we traded assignments). Also a 5 page website to build in HTML by Monday at midnight, and another 5 page site with mp3 player, video player etc. in Flash by the 26th. Exams all week on top of that.

I haven't even had time to watch many horror movies, or movies at all lately. Makes it a trillion times harder for me to discuss movies when I don't have time for them. Once this week is over I will be sitting down and watching as many movies as I can so I can get in the swing of things. :)

HDC is HDC..nothing compares to it! :)

[neverending]

I tend to start things and then get bogged down and let them lie fallow. Haven't done much with my Facebook and Myspace in some time- and I refuse to start on Twitter. It will just be another thing I'm supposed to keep up with but don't.

I divide my online time between my radio station, HDC and playing Popmundo- an online music related role playing game. I get here as much as I can!

[fortunato]

I'm on Facebook, but I don't spend much time at all on it. Especially lately.
I've been working like mad lately, among other things.
This is just a bad time for me. I haven't been getting much free time (at the expense of my BR II team).

Popmundo- an online music related role playing game.

What do you do in this game?

[neverending]

What do you do in this game?

You play a character who is trying to become a famous musician. You learn to play instruments, record songs, go on tours, etc. It's a long term thing- you play a bit every day and rise in the charts, etc. It's a pretty nerdy thing for wannabe rock stars- dunno if somebody who really is a cool musician already would find it interesting.

[Elvis_Christ]

I could probably get into that sounds like it could be a laugh. So you can choose the genre/look etc of your character?

Yes, you can chose what kind of music you want to play- punk is one subgenre. And there's an avatar maker so you can create your own avatar, or you can upload a picture if you want.

[Elvis_Christ]

I'll have a look at it sometime. So are you like a #1 superstar hitmaker on it?

...and as for the topic. Sometimes I just can't be bothered posting, sometimes I'm just not in the mood and just lurk around the joint.

[neverending]

No, I'm just starting in my music career...lol...been in the game about 90 days.
