During your time on the forum, you probably noticed that you enjoy it more/less at certain intervals (ex you enjoyed using the forum more when you had 600 posts, compared to now)

So, I’ll go over the 3 most common ways people enjoy the forum, and their outcomes.



1. The “bad” outcome

1766516548848


This is how the average user enjoys the forum. At first, he doesn’t really understand how things work, so he doesn’t really get any dopamine from the site (Area 0-2)
Shortly after, he realises what this place has to offer, and is overwhelmed with dopamine (Area 2-3).; But of course, all good things come to an end, and he slowly starts to get bored of the forum, until he deletes/leaves the space.
Pretty tragic ending, but ultimately, the world keeps spinning, new users will join and older users will be forgotten
I’ll try to give out a user as an example for each outcome, but I don’t think that’s needed here as you probably know someone already who decided to leave the site.



2. The Good Outcome

1766517164683


Similar to the first graph, in the beginning you have no clue how the forum works (0-2), so you don’t enjoy it much. The main difference between this graph and the previous one, is that your enjoyment doesn’t fully plummet (Area 10-14+). You start viewing this place as a replacement for tiktok, twitter etc. so you don’t have a reason to leave.
Of course, you don’t enjoy it as much as you did X amount of time ago, but you still have fun using it.
A good example would be @Gengar, who’s been on the forum for more than 7 years, yet he still has fun here, maybe not as much as he had a few years ago, but he hasn’t gotten fully burned out.



3. The “True” Outcome

1766517674884


again, similar to the first 2 graphs, you have no clue what you’re doing in the beginning, but
The main difference is that, you figure out how some stuff works, but you’re not fully hooked to the forum, so you just forget about it. The site has around 110k members, but most of them suffered this fate. You probably know a grey who got a few hundred posts, and then just forgot about the forum completely.



While I can’t dictate your outcome on the forum, I can give you a tip to avoid the first outcome, and that would be to simply post less. Most new users think that higher post count=better user, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Try to post only when you have something to say, or you really want to do so :Comfy:

I agree. Having a place where you can say what’s on your mind without being judged is really nice. I see this forum as a gold mine, as you can both improve & chill with like minded people.

Ngl you are right people move on the people who are quite big on this forum will be forgotten but when I see old org accounts it’s sad you can last see when they are online some i seen were last online four years ago it does make me feel quite sad tho even tho the cycle will continue some users will become quite big but eventually become inactive and new ones will replace them

This isn’t a cycle that happens only on the forum, this is what life consists of. People die, while new people are born, a tree may fall but others will grow.

I'm a lurker in general and I've been lurking for a while before creating my profile but there were times where I had forgotten about org completely. To me it's the most enjoyable when I'm looksminned after a surgery or preparing for one, or otherwise on a low tide in life. When everything is going well, there's not really much space in my life for online communities in general

Tbh, it depends on how you want to see things. Some people envision this place as an online mental asylum, while others see it as a nice community where you can improve/learn new things.

Yeah. Thinking about it more, I'll probably be back if something like technological advancement or research creates new looksmaxes. But maybe tiktok could be the better alternative to getting alerted. No one keeps a looksmaxing newsletter or blog or whatever, that is consistent (this forum should do that tbh if they monetize with ads, it would be good). I'd check the titles daily Ig

Similar to the first graph, in the beginning you have no clue how the forum works (0-2), so you don’t enjoy it much. The main difference between this graph and the previous one, is that your enjoyment doesn’t fully plummet (Area 10-14+). You start viewing this place as a replacement for tiktok, twitter etc. so you don’t have a reason to leave.
Of course, you don’t enjoy it as much as you did X amount of time ago, but you still have fun using it.
A good example would be @Gengar, who’s been on the forum for more than 7 years, yet he still has fun here, maybe not as much as he had a few years ago, but he hasn’t gotten fully burned out.



3. The “True” Outcome

View attachment 4455400


again, similar to the first 2 graphs, you have no clue what you’re doing in the beginning, but
The main difference is that, you figure out how some stuff works, but you’re not fully hooked to the forum, so you just forget about it. The site has around 110k members, but most of them suffered this fate. You probably know a grey who got a few hundred posts, and then just forgot about the forum completely.



While I can’t dictate your outcome on the forum, I can give you a tip to avoid the first outcome, and that would be to simply post less. Most new users think that higher post count=better user, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Try to post only when you have something to say, or you really want to do so :Comfy:
