solshadow 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2009 The influx of new people around the forums? I feel sort of old on here if you catch my drift, seniority I guess its called. (even though I'm fairly new here compared to Leon and the others) Hmm...oh well. Kinda got artist's block (i guess im an artist) past few attempts at signatures havent come out looking nice and then a tried to made another background but that came out terrible.

Wyzrd 12 Report post Posted July 30, 2009 Yes I've noticed the new rush of people. Me and Marked was talking about it the other day. Its a good thing. Glad more people are finding out about the site. :D Truly a great and friendly place to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

solshadow 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2009 Well, would a request work? I want a KH2 themed one including Sora/Roxas, Kairi/Namine, Donald, Goofy, Mickey and Riku. Sure thing, but I literally cant find a Roxas render to save my life. Will make a few different sigs featuring different people. Yeah this site is becoming a lot more famous this day. I'll control all the newbies with my influence as a senior. Heh, I took notice in that one thread where the guy called himself "n00bish". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrimsonInferno 35 Report post Posted July 30, 2009 Yes I've noticed the new rush of people. Me and Marked was talking about it the other day. Its a good thing. Glad more people are finding out about the site. :D Truly a great and friendly place to be. Its the only nice place to go. Every other forum is packed tight with jerks who never, ever want to help you. They only want the forums to themselves so they can chat with their snobby friends. I enjoy this place; nice, calm, simple, neat and actually helpful! :> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marked 197 Report post Posted July 30, 2009 Yes I've noticed the new rush of people. Me and Marked was talking about it the other day. Its a good thing. Glad more people are finding out about the site. :D Truly a great and friendly place to be. I haven't noticed too many more members posting on the forum. I do monitor the site statistics rather heavily, so statistically RMXP Unlimited is doing very very well and setting new records in this "boom". From an external but authoritative source, percentage of global pageviews has increased by 950% in comparison to 3 months ago. Pageviews/user and time on site have also increased by over 200%. As of today, we just reached an average of 3,000 page views per day over a 45 day period(internal source). spoilered...There are a lot of new users on the forum posting, which is a positive sign(always been our weak point(we're not just a forum)). But there is a very common trend here with new users. For example, the 3 members with the following attributes: top the posts per day list, have over 100 posts and joined less than 2 months ago. These members will post a lot and be very active, but soon they will go away, but perhaps come back. If they do come back, it will be only for a short period of time. There are tons of examples of this in the introduction and farewell forum. Aya is a good example too, she came back and posted a lot, topping the top posters in that month, then disappeared. Anyone care to case which 3 members I'm talking about? If you excuse my negativeness, it's pleasing to have the increase in activity, and I may tend to throw a lot of stats around, but I'm not that shallow as to care about them more than anything else. To be honest I really enjoy the small community where the members know each other and so there is a much friendlier atmosphere(even though in recent times communication seems less frequent between myself and other members). As the main person who administrates the place, my goals are, helpfulness(as many support topics answered as possible answered), and friendliness of course. I am satisfied to a degree with these, and I'm glad the staff we have here are here. There hasn't been a new staff member in maybe as long as a year(excluding polraudios promotion). I always ramble when I make posts like this... last thing, RMXP Unlimited has not been used to its full potential. Its completely my own fault. There is a lot I can do with the site and the forum. Things that are unique to us(such as the scripts archive), and rpg maker specific. Unfortunately very little will be done by me until november when I am finished 1st year.

CrimsonInferno 35 Report post Posted July 30, 2009 3 members? ....me? I'm one, right? Well, the only reason I'd go away for a while is to sell my novel when I'm done with it or if I relapsed and get ill again. Those would be the only reasons, and of course, if I died. How would I get time then? lol And I'm not so sure selling a novel would take that long :> And 3,000 page views? I wish my blog got that much O.o I'd be making like 50 bucks a day...if only...

Oh, don't worry, Sol. It shouldn't come back...I had a mega drug shot into my body like eight times...well, I hope I don't get lol I'll die >.< It was just a disease that affects my breathing basically for my nose. See, I had to have a metal plate (no lie) put into my head and a tube in my chest. Cool part is I got to see inside my body at the age of 9...but the bad part is I woke up right before they were going to cut me up. They were holding drills and stuff. Scared the crap out of me cause they promised me a lolly pop >.< The other is LovePhoenix, right? @SolShadow: Ooooh! So pretty! Me want one T.T Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know how much 3,000 pageviews per day could potentially earn in revenue, but I think ads would kind of spoil rmxp unlimited. And besides, I've had ALOT of help, I couldn't morally generate profits from this site. 2 members have purchased subscriptions though. Any money generated will obviously go back to the site. The three members I was talking about are CrimsonInferno, solshadow and rgangsta. LovePhoenix would come into the same category, but I don't see her posts so much around the forum. @solshadow: nice job on the sig :) if you like, there is a category to upload them in the gallery if you want them to get a few more views.

I noticed that too >_> @Crimson: If you want I could try to make you one :D before Leon asked I hadn't taken requests in a while but seems like it came out ok. (I still think it could be better) Just tell me what you want in it.....well I have to finish make the other ones that Leon wanted first @Marked: Ill try my best not to leave the site, I doubt it would be easy to leave anyways. (Checks the site every morning, feels like hes stalking the site sometimes >_<) Oh, I can post them in the gallery? Cool beans, I'll post ones I make that don't have any text that way anyone can use them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LovePhoenix 3 Report post Posted July 30, 2009 I check the site everyday honestly, but I don't post much. The reason is, that I either don't know what to write or I don't see topics to write in. But I really check the site everyday. T.T Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marked 197 Report post Posted July 31, 2009 I wonder why so much people are coming here. It's wonderful nonetheless. I can maybe find the source of this and make them come to my website too...genius. First I have to release my demo. Ouch, that hurts rgangsta. Maybe, coz it's a nice site? Isn't it? I'll tell you all our traffic secrets, except one of them. 1. Make friends -> http://rpgm.org/message.php (thank you, David) 2. Create a website with keywords that will show above other sites(search rmxp and rgss scripts etc. google and see if we come up) 3. Wait 3 years. 4. Don't care about traffic, but the quality of your website, and stick with it Honestly though, I would never start this again. The first 2 are our 2 primary sources of traffic. Google and rpgm.org. We longer have affiliates because they either closed down or didn't direct any traffic back here. I would like to affiliate with other websites though... I'm just too e-anti-social. edit: 5. the loyalty of the staff members Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leon 55 Report post Posted July 31, 2009 Yeah, Marked here spent 3 years on this site, and to be honest, only the last 8 months has had a lot of traffic. Not a bad thing, but a very consuming one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marked 197 Report post Posted July 31, 2009 Sometimes I wonder why I work on rmxp unlimited... traffic hasn't been good, but the quality members makes up for it. The thing is, when I started on my little invisionfree forum, I felt like no one ever gave it a chance. When I think of how things are now, I think it's still the same. Apart from the staff members here who are contributing members(in terms of rpg maker stuff), we get no 'developers'. To explain my point using an example, scripters such as sephirothspawn and woratana who post their scripts at big forums like rmxp.org, rpgrevolution.com etc. Is rmxpunlimited not big enough? You see, if feels like we are looked over. It pisses me off. If I had measured the time I spent working here, I'm sure I'd be depressed. But because of that, I really cannot imagine shutting it down. And to be honest, I am worried about the day that will happen. Before this place gets shut down, I'll make damn sure we are not looked over anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You see, if feels like we are looked over. It pisses me off. I think it's because rmxp.org and rpgrevolution are pretty big and full of people. So if someone wants to post their resources, they are probably going to post it where they are going to get people trying it and giving them feedback. However, unfortunately this place is not really full of many people like those sites. Also, there are lots of professionals there and experts who pretty much know lots of things.

j4kl1ng3r 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2009 I like this site alot more than the larger ones because it's simple and to the point. The more resources you guys get, the more users you will get. Now is the perfect time to just start ramping up the amount of scripts and things you get on here, because then all of the influx of new people (such as myself) will have more reasons to stay. I agree with Marked, about the quality thing. Quality content attracts quality users. This site is on the right path in that respect. I am going to stick around for sure, at least.
