Universe Roll Call

I've noticed this place is quite dead and isn't growing at all. Just out of curiosity, who is still around? Or plans on coming back? Where is everyone else gone?

Here.

I'm sort of part time at the moment, I'm in my fifth year at secondary school so it is a very busy year for me and I am focusing on getting five Highers this year so that means a hell of a lot of work.

I think there are two parts to the problem. First of all, this "back to school" September/October period was always rough, even on the original WWE U. But typically, the activity would decrease but there would still be activity whenever people did get on. At this point, people are getting on but not posting or doing anything, which is adding to the issue. The deadly fall period coupled with the lack of motivation to do something while here is costing us.

Plus the fact that we didn't have very many active users beforehand.

I'm still around.

I think it's because we're an E-Fed site, and we only have one active fed. It's a 2 part cycle. We don't have many active members, because there is only one active fed, because there aren't many active users and so on.

If we made this ECCW.forumotion.com it would effectively be the same thing as long as we had non-RP boards.

Pretty much my point. This site needs to get new members coming in, more feds going, and more people willing to do a Reals fed, which this site is in dire need of.

And no matter how many people attempt to make this happen it never comes to fruition, it is just one of those things which just doesn't seem like it will ever happen.

Unless more people want to do it. We only have like 4 or 5 users that are interested in Reals feds. And only about 2 of them are kinda active at this point.

I know but we have tried before to get people on here who are more interested in Real feds etc. but its hard and, like I said, sometimes somethings just aren't going to happen.

I'm glad this has died.

The fact that you consider a lack of E-Feds being the reason behind the death pretty much sums it up, and shows the retardedness of some people on here. Its the lack of absolutely everything else that has drove people away.

Well Im still around, and while its a bad idea and I dont know the goings on about how this would work, but wouldn't you consider co-operating with other e-feds that are on the verge of death as well? Like Im apart of another forum pretty much like this and more people tend to show up due to Prediction Contests we have.

Maybe this site should either go around looking for other dead/close-to-death forum places to help get more members, or they can bring in more stuff to make people come here. Or maybe perhaps if this site can merge with another site if things come to worse, that is if this site isn't being paid for. But if it is then I dont think this option will work out well. But these are just ideas of course.

And while I would like to be more active on here, I too have University and life problems to deal with, so you know, life and education before all else I'm afraid.

At one stage I was on the verge of merging four forums together and that;s when they were all quite active. It would have been pretty good but certain owners felt they didn't need to merge when push came to shove (turned out they did) and others were being petty because they didn't like each other and whatnot (typical internet retardedness) . Turns out they all needed each other as none of the WWE Uni splinter forums are doing well at the moment.

Honestly, I agree with this. There's been a lot of stuff that's happened here ever since the site went up. We used to have people posting all the time. Now? There's like eight active people. What's the cause of this? It's people being driven away for one reason or another. Whenever I think about why this site lost so many people (which isn't often, basically just now), I look at this thread

https://theuniverse.forumotion.co.uk/t1725-thoughts-from-cyrus-t-the-unwritten-rule-of-booking-e-feds

Notice anything different? Guys like Cyrus, Hazza, Marik, Mesa, Styles, Casey, and SP were actually posting and contributing. These were the days when these guys actually had interesting RPs and characters. Nowadays, the only people that come by are Casey (whenever he has time) and Marik (who's pretty much stopped) and Marik only comes here to piss everyone off because he knows just how much of a joke this place has become. This site used to be pretty great, but now it's just Terry Schiavo. I'd love it if we could get more people but the fact of the matter is we probably won't. Unless we really try, do any of you guys have friends from other forums or even just friends in real life who enjoy wrestling and/or RPing? It's not a bad idea to network, hell I'm sure certain websites even allow advertising of your own site. If you guys try we might get somewhere. Or this site will die like the original WWE U.

I too am apart of one of these sites where it started with former WWE U people but gained different people as well. And I would suggest either this sit emerge with that or vise versa, but I guess it all depends on if whoever runs this site has to pay to keep it running as the admin on my site has to pay monthly to do that. But either way, I do suggest contacting different forums now more than ever to possiibly get more people to help out much like you mentioned here.


Also hopefully Im not seeming too 'OMG F THIS PLACE, WE NEED MORE MEMBERS!!" but I was wondering if people really felt this way about the place having dead members and actually want people to join up to be more active and stuff, then maybe if some people from here, but not everyone, can sign up to the forum I am also apart of and can voice their opinions in terms of this thread.

WAF Fantasy Wrestling Section

Maybe if some people can show their appreciation to this idea in turn you can either get people from my site onto this place, or maybe you can stick to this website with a new Fantasy Wrestling Section is all else fails here, and I hope it doesn't since this is still a rather nice place to come to.

If I am going overboard with my idea feel free to forget about it, I'm just trying to think of ways to bring more members to any wrestling communities that I am apart of thats all.

Still here. Junior year of High School beating my ass.

And I have all but lost interest in roleplaying, to be honest.

Not that kicking your ass is hard or anything.

Squeezing it is a toughie, but Rubbing it is even harder

Well I'm still here so...yeah.

That's all we need to know.

A start would be getting some of the lost members back; Mitch, Hazza, Polzy, Jake, Mesa .. to name a few.

Yeah but how? Does anyone on here even keep in touch with them? If so fucking message them and try to convince them to come back.
