Spasticity 2.0

[Adam]

tbh I think the reason is the lack of drama and no likelihood of any arising soon unless pea start something lol

the problem isn't that there arent enough cool people to post there (there are), but that maybe it actually NEEDS one or two of the more boring ones who are also more likely to have disagreements

but then the problem becomes that those disagreemets go on for too long if they don't know how to let it go once the fun's gone

I'm going away for a few days and probably wont be online (except facebook updates from phone), but when I get back I'll make sure to try and start some interesting threads. and if that doesnt work then just spam

I'll give it another month. If it still lacks activity, I'll back it up and close it down. The host will remain however, I use it to store my own files too.

 It would really be a shame to shut it down, I hope you don't.

Most sites resulting from drama elsewhere tend not to last. Remember OTS?

Yes, I was there fore a few months. That's where I first met Wandrew IIRC.

Because it lacks the luuuuuurvvveee?

TBH, I'm not sure. But most of the time when site X is born, stating that they are like site Y but without the <insert what you don't like about site Y> almost guarantees oblivion.

True

although zomg did work for a while. not brilliantly, but it did work.

[odeon]

Zomg had more going for it, I think. And I'm not saying site X must fail, but it helps to have your own purpose instead of copying someone else's.

Yeah I think spasticity is best as a younger-orientated (young in mind I mean, I'm not gonna exclude the cool older people from that ) version of intensity, without the bullshit

the problem isn't that there arent enough cool people to post there (there are), but that maybe it actually NEEDS one or two of the more boring ones who are also more likely to have disagreements

So you got Scrap (40 IIRC) who is combative, not exactly young and willing to throw old fuckers under the bus (as in "I'm older but cool anyway") to join via sucking up to the younger = cooler mindset and shit looks like it may not last @ Spasticity anyway? How could you fuck it up with a winning formula like that?

Pretty much nailed it.

No one panders to anyone on there, there's just none of that haughty i2 callout wank that you see here. How is that young-orientated?

S2 to me is aimed for everyone, but even though it's an aspie-orientated forum it's not about whinging about their problems. There's no AS-related forums to be seen, everything's aimed towards general discussion and having a few laughs. Drama can happen but it's not centred around it. It's more like ZOMG with elements of i2, it doesn't try to blatantly copy any place except in order to make various members be familiar with it. Frankly I'm surprised it lasted this long.

I had not seen any of that haughty callout wank here. Perhaps i am not looking to see such things in the first place.

Shleed it is early days yet. The initial recruitment drive was a bit off-putting. We had both Adam and Scrap telling all it was orientated for cool aspies and for young or young at heart aspies, or whatever the fuck they were trying to promote, and i think you said some other anti-i2 bullshit. I quoted the lot of you on this thread somewhere if i could be arsed looking for it, which I am not.

Problem with promoting it is, if it doesn't draw people there based on such promotion, then you may be right in saying" it is not like that", after the fact, but the people turned off in going in the first place are not gonna find out either way, as they never joined.

As I say early days perhaps promoting it about the other forums like Superboyians place and such will draw a steady trickle over and boost the numbers and activity over time. So long as the promoting doesn't put people off who may otherwise wanna come over

"haughty i2 callout wank"?

Give it time.
