Why this forum became dead & dull no new posts from members.It used to be great before but not interesting now.

Well, what do you propose?

Well, we do our part. Login occasionally to check new posts and try to reply them.
And you should do yours. Be the change you want to see.

But it's all about network effect.

Need more enthusiastic members. Also, need more promotion: Ask your friends to join the forum.

Maybe it's because of the increased usage trend of AI chatbots.

Earlier people ask questions in the forum, wait for others to reply and discuss to arrive at a solution.
Now, you can just chat with the bot and get it clarified in seconds.

IMO reddit and discord are more active these days. People want faster answers without putting in the effort to create properly worded posts.

Is digit present on Reddit ?

 

[Desmond]

I don't think so but why should we be on reddit? What would that accomplish?

 

[Desmond]

Perhaps we should revive CTC?

Is it possible to get an entry back in the main page of digit.in? I feel it would partially help. Having a working mobile application is another requisite. A webwrapper with notification feature is all that is needed.

I don't know if Xenforo forums have PWA support. I think it might come as part of a plugin.

I just access the website on the mobile browser.

Everything else I think only Digit staff can do.

I run a forum myself. There is change in behavior of online generation now. A lot of old forums have shut down and many have much smaller engagement now.
Only few big one like SkyscrapperCity and Team-BHP remain popular now.
One reason is much shorter attention span of the youth. Most want to get info in short time and like to consume info from Shorts, Reels, etc.​

 

[Desmond]

Yeah, that's kind of the trend going on. I guess only petrolheads are the ones who are not interested in social media lol.

We need a promotion campaign but it's going to be an uphill battle to gain more members.

Note: That I have banned gmail signups to fight spam. I might re-enable it from time to time but most of the members we get are spammers. If you have any friends who would like to join the forum, send me a PM and I will allow gmail signups for the duration.

I too use Xenforo and enabled Captcha and tries few other things but it messed with genuine registrations too somehow so disabled it. Now our admins/mods do manual review and approval. For every 1 genuine request we get 8-10 bot requests.
We do have few tech enthusiast, will check with them if they are interested to become member here.​
