How about encouraging people to join the forum by putting a "join the livefish forum" button on your Facebook page and encourage people to comment, ask questions, upload photos and get to know each other, the forum is all but dead apart from a few of us who still comment and start the occasional thread, even the Mods have all but given up here.

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes & dreams.

Yeah,i get your point m8, I tend to agree, but people are busy, a lot of us are time stressed, and there are a heap of lively alternative fish forums around these days. I love this forum and miss the banter and humour and of course the wealth of knowledge behind this white screen - I could go on - spose its up to us to hang in there and wait for the circle to turn. Cheers :-@

Yeah this isn't the only fish forum I'm a member of, but it's the only one that has had no new activity in ages we have got to do something to keep it alive, like you I really like this forum.
Cheers,

Hi Mooo, and welcome to the forum :-j :P
With facebook button I think livefish or maybe tech support have to do that. More chooks woman you're hopeless, I hope cluckingham palace is big enough for them all ~:> ~:> ~:> and counting, nice to see your son has come home for a visitSometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.

It'd be good if the Livefish website made our forum a bit more noticeable rather than just a small link next to all the shipping info and policies.

@ITGuy Is there anything that can be done to remedy this situation.Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes & dreams.

All we as members of the forum can do is, promote the forum, I'd be surprised if many people knew there even is one
-
Hey there are some younger people here. With a little bit of promotion hopefully we can revive this because I for one love this place.
-
A bit of promotion never hurt anyone,, Feel free to promote all you can

I think it's been like a year since I was on here last. Came along today to see if anyone still gets on here (some moderator I am). My main issue was the change of forum software. I find this much harder to read than the old system was.
Facebook hasn't helped much either (not just here - forums in general). There's people that don't even know how to open anything but Facebook. And these are the sorts of people that tend to want to talk about their hobbies, so they look up Facebook groups.
It's sad, because there was a pretty solid core group here before. Always happy to help the random newcomers. -
I agree, the social media is easier to navigate, but forums don't really die they are there anytime
-
Thanks for coming back tin!
-
Ah.......Social media, good yet bad....imho.
-
Just wondering anyone still on this forum? the only people I really have heard from is animal reply back if so
-
I am still on aswell as me there is Mooo, Bob, Rainbows, Frayk and Heintz.G. TallTree01 and Alasse use to be on all the time but I think he has stopped using the forum.
-
@animal_expert01 Okay dokey, it would be nice to see some new members aswell.
-
-
I think we need to update the way we post photos make it easier?
-
and I think constant posts are important, which is why I am exchanging with animal expert, hazrockdude and the frayk.
keep doing this. activity breeds activity.
and yes pic and vids made easier would be very good. -
I agree!, Activity creates activity
-
forum dying? False!!!
THE FORUM IS BEING REBORN!!! -
Woo! yeah yay!
(Crowd cheers) -
the fish in my tanks are also cheering
-
Woohoo!
-
I agree, activity breeds more, But, Just don't bring up old dead threads please
As for changes, Livefish is a family run business, they aren't millionaires, You need money to do the things you are wanting from your 'free' forum
