So... I remember registering at this place. I thought I'd made some posts, but apparently after being signed up for over 1000 days I guess I haven't even made so much as a verbal comment to any of the topics. Thing is, I vaguely remember coming here after looking in the affiliates section of Anime-US (when it was still running.) The one thing I was interested in was the item shops at various Acmlm boards. Most had the same things. Vizzed, however, had completely original content. It appealed to me, because at that time I was creating my own animated weapons for the items shops at the couple boards I was a part of (though they never got the chance to be implemented). So I signed up here. I don't know why I haven't made any posts. Truth be told, it sort of boggles me. Bu, this is one of the only Acmlm boards I know that is still going strong. Most other places, included Acmlm's own board, have either dwindled or died completely. I guess being skilled and coding on your own helps out a lot, right Davideo?

I've been residing at Xeogaming.org this whole time. We've dropped in activity considerably a couple years ago and now only about 10 or so remain active. And I can't help but think that I may have had a role in it, but I'll get more into that later. A few of you maaaay have seen me the past. Very active at Anime-US, if you've been there. I've thought about this place quite a few times over the past couple years and I remember it having a small, but strong community. Then I get a email last month saying Vizzed was improved. And my has it ever, the ROM's being the most noticeable. Then the number of members here is quite astounding. But like any other board, I'm sure less than a quarter actually stay to become at least somewhat active. But, since I've technically been a member here for almost 3 years I figured I should pay the community back with a lot of activity. And indeed I will. I've got plenty of topics to discuss, videos and pics to show and ideas to share. So with that, who wants to give me a welcoming Vizzed hug!

My password was saved. But it wouldn't matter since I usually use a universal password. And you bet I'll stay.

That's awesome. I've been here so long that with only 2 posts I've jumped to level 3. (RPG theme)

Thank you both. Yes indeed you do. But 1000 days ago you didn't. I suppose Davideo created those requirements when Vizzed had accumulated so many members to prevent people from making crazy, hard to read layouts, much like what was experience at Acmlm's board a long time ago when I first joined that. I could also be a way to get people to learn how to create decent layouts. I feel unique in that I'm the only member of this board with a layout that isn't supposed to have one. Speaking of that. I don't suppose I might be able to change my sig? It's a old one, although good, and I have a better sig I'd like to replace it with. Is it possible for one of the admins to grant me that request? It's the only thing I want to change.

Thank you for the welcome. DH. I've been making whatever posts I can. I need to start making my own threads, though. I have things I'd like to show you guys.

Glad to see you've come over here. Hope you enjoy your stay.

I check xeogaming every once in a while but it's been a long time since I've posted anything there.

And I have never been to anime-us or whatever it was you mentioned earlier

I'm a little late to this but welcome to the board. If it weren't for my knowledge of PHP and other skills, this board would've been dead a long time ago. You've been a very helpful member and a great poster so it's definitely awesome to have you here.

It's also pretty cool that you only live about 50 or so miles away from where I live.

I also appreciate you pointing out the items in the item shop, those of course were all created by me and exclusive to Vizzed Board and I definitely think that is another thing that helps seperate and make Vizzed Board unique compared to a lot of other acmlm boards (of course the many other features help as well).

Yeah, I've noticed a lot of differences with Viz. Tuvai's RPGRevelation was the last board I was a part of that that had a ton of things different than the other. It was about 4 years ago, or so. That board is no longer around, though, at least to my knowledge. I'm seeing a change that I haven't seen in a very long time. The fact that Viz is doing so well is because David keeps maintaining the site- adding things and fixing problems (sometimes 12-hour long problems).

I've realized quite a while back that running a board is an lot like managing a good company that sells a product. Everything starts small. Like Microsoft Corp. Gates (with his partner) developed the Windows OS and began his small business. A lot of people used that OS. Over the years as technology became more advance Mr. Bill improved Windows to keep up, and added more products to the Windows line. Today, we see not only Windows OS, but hundreds of products and services created by Miocrosft. Could the corp. run with just selling Windows OSs to everbody? Yes. Would it be doing as well as it is today with all the other stuff? Most likely not. It's the "other stuff" that made Microsoft the way it is now. And it's the "other stuff" that has Vizzed Board doing so well today. Many other Acmlm boards are dead because of just being plain. You can't have a plain board anymore, not when so many people have one. You gotta add things to your site over time to keeep members coming and staying. If you picture a message board as a company you can definitely see the similarities, and you get an idea of what you need to do to keep one going strong.

That's the best way I've seen it put. I definitely agree, eventually people get sick of a site that doesn't get updated and since so many sites are constantly going up, it means another portion of sites are going down and to avoid that, a site has to keep up with other sites by offering more and more, even if it isn't the same as the other sites, as long as a site has new things to offer, it brings more members and gives something fresh to current members.

It's a tough market having a website on the internet. A site can be huge day and and the next, it's old news and a ghost town. MySpace was big, still is, but not nearly as big as it was due to Facebook taking away it's popularity. Now the same could happen to Facebook because of Twitter if Facebook doesn't keep evolving. Likewise, sorta what you said, if Bill Gates was just like "Windows 95 is the last windows os we need and this is good enough to last us forever", than Microsoft wouldn't be anything near what it is now.

A site is never complete, and I don't ever plan on finishing vizzed board since I plan to always add stuff to allow it to evolve and grow bigger.

Very good observations though and very thought provoking. This also helps me justify adding the Game Room to the board (the site was actually near death before I added it and that really helped revive it).
