Lets get tws like old times

[DhaSickest]

We need to get tws like old times. I think users join, see it's dead, and move on. We are good on getting users to join tws. I wonder how can we ping them to say hello and chat that's where we are missing the trick. If you guys look many websites have regulars that make the new members feel inclusive. I think live chat is a good example because it's been doing quite well. @Jessssss is quite good at welcoming new people into conversations. I tried out as a guest and I can see a big difference compared to the other products 😉. We all need to start welcoming new users but this is up to the regulars of tws. If we are around we can welcome new people. We should also try posting more topics because on community if they don't get a reply they can browse topics.

@idek2020 I posted this just for you buddy since you had asked me about making a topic about our plans :joy:

@DhaSickest
that's a good point. i also think that more should be done to discourage the high volume of spam, sexual & lost-partner topics in the community. it sometimes feels like at least 80% of all new topics fall under those three categories and i think that it's very off-putting to potential new users.

Wow thankssss 😁

@DhaSickest couldn't agree more, sounds like a plan. I'm on board with this 100%

@DhaSickest
there is no old times, it's an illusion.
New users will be saying the same in a year, they make a few friends, have some fun in the topics and when their friends fade away, they'll be sad longing for the old times.
Tws survives based on random people hopping in and out and some sticking around for a while. this isn't facebook.

@Akkii mm maybe I'm just not used to it then. You know what they can also get rid of? Nasty ads I feel like this encourages the nasty behaviors

@Littlelion12 i have been here for almost a month now and according to me it can be the way you want to see it...can be hook up site...can be chatting site...can be a discussion forum..can be a good way to test your talent as i have seen people taking reviews on drawings to music....so it's just about the perspective...i did find few very good people here though..... who don't judge you for anything....just let you be yourself....

I've definitely met some cool people here I get you and I agree theres perspective that affects how things are perceived. I've seen people's art work and interesting discussion topics which are all cool. I do not discredit these things at all. The only problem I have is I go into the site and majority of the posts are trashy. It just automatically cheapens the value of the site for me personally. No hate or anger, it just is.. if that makes sense

@sarah_the_magpie This is a great suggestion. @Global-Moderators

@Nibby_Nibba2001 I am referring to making tws active like it once was, we have @Global-Moderators we can go to when things are out of our control.

I am not sure how tws was in the past because I have only been here since February

Sure, you should explore more rather than you said "Let's make TWS like old-time" xD Like seriously, how come you know about TWS old time but you are a new joiner here? no offence coz i want to debate this

As a wayyyy too old user here, I can say that past TWS wasn’t all good, but it wasn’t all bad either.
Even back 2 years ago when I just joined, users were already complaining they missed the « old tws » 😂
Just goes to show that rather than aim to bring back TWS to what it was like in the past, we’re better off making it so that it’ll be even better in the future.
A lot of people have already suggested some really good ideas on how to improve TWS, but we should really figure out how those ideas can actually be applied to improve the community here.

@TheRisingSun you said it 😁😁

[Littlelion12]

Reddit is a pretty good example of a good social website. This place seems like it wants to go toward the direction reddit is going with the tags (R/) and reputation (karma) and whatnot but tbh it's pretty disorganized. Navigation is really confusing too especially on mobile. When I first joined I never remembered how to get back into forums. Now I learned to go to FAQ so it redirects me back to these pages.

@Littlelion12 nah you can't change a nasty person even if there are no ads... and adware the only source of income these websites have... people are people they never change unfortunately...

True. I guess it more so just adds to the feel for what this site is about (a trashy random hookup site) at least from my perspective

@Akkii well didn't some wise guy say " People will treat you like you treat them" ??(;
