Re: Improving the Forum

At this moment Forum view says:

Currently Active Users
There are currently 215 users online. 1 members and 214 guests

And when I sum up the number of viewers in each section it makes: 54

By the way for the last several days the number has sharply increased about 4 times compared with the past period.

How do you do the math.???

This sounds and feels like the Armenian elections.

OMG, I can't think of an explanation therefore corruption!





We don't do special math other than what's employed by vbulletin.

If you pay attention to his own language, you'll see the key... He's comparing the sum of the viewers in sections to total users and is confused that they're not the same.

Not all users are looking at a thread in a forum section. Some are registering, some are using the search, some are looking at other users' profiles, some are private messaging, some are staring at the forum index, some are editing their profiles/preferences etc. etc. None of those cases would be counted among the viewers in sections.
It's like comparing the total number of people in a shopping mall with the sum of all the persons in stores. These are not the same thing.

I hope that helps clear up the confusion.

Re: Improving the Forum

Why is the forum so inactive nowadays?

I remember back in 2005 and 2006, there were many more active members, and yes, a lot of them were Turkish. I know a lot of those Turks were banned, but some also left because of the way they were received here. I regret the way I treated them back then. Reading through some older threads, some of us really alienated them.

But I don't understand why we don't get that many new members anymore? Could it be because of the name change? "Armenian Club" was much easier to find through Google than "HyeClub." Maybe it's because of the popularity of social media websites? But then I've come across a forum for Afghans (certainly a smaller diaspora community) and it's more active than our forum was even at its peak.

Re: Improving the Forum

tomservo what did you do that you regret?


Why does this forum log you out automatically all the time.....can't even stay logged in 5 min to make a freaking post.
my only complain, hey maybe we are not welcomed here?

Re: Improving the Forum

As far as improving this forum there is no hope...it should be closed down if you ask me. I only stick around here because its an Armenian forum and because of the NKR thread.

The best thing that can happen is for ZORAVAR, burjuin, Federate, and others here to open an Armenian Defence Forum (ADF)....everyone else's country has one expect us.

That is true. It doesn't encourage careful posts when, if you take any time to read a thread, and then want to write something in reply, you risk being logged out by the time you come to post. It could probably be easily fixed - there might be a setting somewhere to extend the time before members are logged out. (And, yes, I got the usual "You do not have permission to perform this action. Please refresh the page and login before trying again" message when I went to post this!)

And the way the "new posts" function performs is annoying - click on it before you do anything and you get a list of anything new since your last visit, but make a single post and that list of posts made since your last login are lost - all you see listed is the post you just made. And log out and then in again and you see nothing.

Re: Improving the Forum

That logging out never happens to me unless I don't check the "remember me" button. It's probably the Cooke expiring I guess?

Yes, I was begining to think the down was permanent: RIP Hyeclub Forum.

There's always Hye4um.

Both that forum and this one are like abandoned amusement parks nowadays... pretty depressing. I wonder if the name switch from ArmenianClub to HyeClub was one of the reasons for the decline in new members? Or the rise of social media sites like Facebook and Twitter?
