Yaayy, the forum has broken 100 members!
I just wish more people were talking about more stuff, but the only threads that seem to be replied to mostly now are the little game things, and the chain ones that keep on going. There are a few others at least that get updated sometimes.
It just seems the forum started up and had a big burst of people joining and replying and talking about lots of stuff, and then died down and now it's like "I'll just reply to this game thing, just because".
Anyway, I hope people still enjoy coming here and stuff, I kinda hoped it would become a regularly visitted, and active community. Then again, I don't really do much here myself other then give updates on Virus Bloke stuff, and Paul's Gaming.
Oh well, we'll see what happens anyway. Let's hope the forum doesn't completely die.

I doubt it'll die. You've got thousands of fans out there. If it does start dying, I know some preferred methods of advertisement. The main thing about here is people having fun or debating. Maybe we should have a debating board or something. There's lots of things I know I can debate on and I guess it's pretty much what everyone is good at in general... or a thread for polls or something like that. Just a little suggestion.

You need to advertise the board more. I'd have joined sooner, but didn't know about it for like 2 and half weeks cause I missed the video. If new members are joining at this rate, and it's a good rate, but not posting it means they don't see much reason to stick around. One thing that could help is getting a new more attractive skin for the board. I mean no offense, but this is a bad mix of colors. You need more subtle transitions from color to color.

"If you got problems with your computer, post it in here. We'll gladly help you" or something.. ôo

Calm down Paul! Your forum has just begun. I think your expectations where too high. This forum is still very young and it doesn't have that much to offer yet. But it will certainly change, depending on how your advertising goes (I don't mean spaming your forum link on every site you find) . The users also play an important role. I mean, gosh! My forum is three years old and I don't even have that many users ^^ I still wouldn't consider my forum dead. Since every once in a while I get a new user who is glad he found my site. For one thing. How about a 'link us' section? Banner exchanges are always good for advertisement.

I joined the forums on the same day they were active, and there are others who joined like 4 weeks afterwards, but its no big deal because this forum isn't even a month old yet, its the beginning.

I suppose you're right, 100 members already is actually pretty good, I just expected too much. Having almost 3000 subscribers now, I thought this place would be crazy and hard to keep up with, so I should be happy there's less going on than expected, rather than as much as expected. Already takes ages keeping up with youtube comments, let alone forum replies.

It's a bit strange, having 3000 subscribers on youtube telling them all that you have a forum to chat and only 100 have signed up

I assume a most of them didn't see the video, or are inactive subscribers, or just aren't interested in forums. But yeah I did expect more. I'm sure the members will rise though.

I don't think it's going to die, really. If he got that amount of members in this amount of time, then everything is going quite well.

There was quite the spike of users today. It was probably from that 3000 subs video Paul uploaded today.

I see a lot of new members, but the amount of the members is going down...- some people make a registration, activate it, write 1 comment about one topic and never visit it more... In the calendar (where I can see the members birthday date) there are names that I've never seen making a post...

I just found the forum website about a week ago from your youtube channel page, and joined it today. I enjoy all the videos that you make Paul, well the ones that i have seen. But my problem is there is too many videos i want to watch them all but do not have the time, i'm slowly getting through them though
