I think one big thing that will help is- welcome the newbies. I try to scroll through all the new posts and I look specifically for threads that have 0-5 responses. Then I see if there is anything I can contribute to the thread, or especially if it's an introduction I welcome the new person. I think a lot of people check out this website and then when they get no responses to their first post they never come back. I think we can revive 3FC! :)

I'm new here, so hopefully it's not as dead as you say!!

I'm a bit sad that forums are on the decline. I've never been comfortable with social media.
I agree with a lot of the reasons mentioned in previous posts, as to why forums seem to be dwindling in population. Interesting to read about people being drawn away to forums that just focus on their way eating/exercising. I also think the cross-pollination of ideas (love that phrase) is important and helpful. Anyway, I'm new, but I hope I can be a part of keeping things going. Funny that forums are now seen as "old fashioned", we felt so young and cutting edge just a few years ago. Or it only seems like it was a few years ago. |
Ironically I began here in Nov 2012 myself!
Back to RE*Lose some gained back #s. I agree it does seem quiet here. Idk if most the members were UK or Usa. I'm USA and cost of food is way too much. Maybe there are less tryingto lose? I'm clueless. I think Facebook would take most people off the bbs. I've seen people even say they prefer one login for everything. I don't use FB. For many reasons it never appealed 4me. My soc media is fairly limited. I do use you tube. Otherwise I love these old fashioned BBs. It would be nice if people returned to these. Maybe they will. Anything is possible. |
I haven't been on a forum in over 10 years. I remember really liking it and it was busy. I haven't used it in years since it was part of a game site. So, I actually really like the 3 fat chicks format. I'm not really a fan of Facebook groups, some of it seems oversharing (I am private and share when I want and I think using a Facebook account feels a bit exposing) and really miss forums so I hope this place revives!

I was wondering if everyone had moved to a facebook format or something, but I checked the 3fc facebook page and it's even quieter. No question, it's so much quieter here...I'm making an effort to participate where I can, hopefully things will pick up. If I remember correctly there is always a January rush, lol.

I had to laugh, my own start date was January 2004. I guess there is something to that :lol::lol: |
Wisertime, that is incredible. 3FC must be pretty awesome if you still visit here. It's my second tome returning. The 1st was a continuation of my
massive first loss. I am here wit the dreaded rebound wt this time but I think might need to keep 3FC as a staple in my life no matter what my weight issues may be. Fighting it for me is gonna be a lifetime battle. I certainly hope it will become a thriving forum with this new and returning crowd coming for the holiday and NYears seasons. I am happy that we, even handful of people, are here though. :) |

It gets discouraging to post and no one responds...and that is the reason why people go away.

Uh oh Star Anise, it just happened to you!! :devil: Hope you're still around!
I agree that it's probably due to the popularity explosion of FB and other social media. At one point I did post my daily workouts on FB but frankly it just took too much time to "Like" comments and I felt duty-bound to comment. And yeah, when you put your stuff out for the public, you are open to scrutiny. I still love 3FC! LONG time member and I don't stray for more than a few weeks. Have made some great friends here. And obviously I need the support still :devil: |
I'm seeing this post very late...but, that's just because I think a lot of the subforums have died -- I haven't looked down here in General Chatter in a LONG time! But, I think people would have better luck with some of the other subforums. The ones I post in every single day are still fairly active and I talk to people on here daily. The ones I use are under the "100 lb Club" and "Chicks Up for a Challenge" support group forums. I think the latter is even more active than the former, just because it isn't as specific. But, I agree that other parts of the site ("General Chatter" is a perfect example) used to be very active and are now since pretty much abandoned. I'm posting this here for anyone who may come back and see this post or anyone new who feels like they're walking into a ghost town. Come check out the sub-forums and see if you can find anyone! 3FC definitely isn't as populated as it once was, but there's still many of us hanging about. :yes:
