So.. I know I'm a new member, but I've been around a couple of weeks now and I'm really just curious as to how active the forums usually are. There hasn't been much in the way of posts lately, is this just a lull or do people just prefer to communicate via teamspeak/in-game?

Please note, I'm not bad-mouthing the fleet or anything. There's nothing wrong with low volume forum posts. Like i said, I'm just curious!

I hope no one is offended by this. *Paces nervously before hitting post*

Pfft, never hurts to ask questions!

Honestly there is a bit of a lull at the moment, as this is exam season and end of fiscal for many companies, so a lot of folks are just simply too busy. June will see it pick up I'd imagine.

However, there is teamspeak, which generally has a few people on regardless of the hour, but peaks at UK time. There is also in-game chat, where often you have to poke people with a stick and suddenly everyone is talking.

Never fear to ask

I'd say only half of the members check the forums (If even). Usually the people who want to do something in the fleet really check the forums, those who don't you'll see float around in-game that's about it. Also TS is another way to tell who is really active in the fleet when they are willing to talk to other members of the fleet.

I always post on the forums when I have something to say, if you have something to share or add, then I'd suggest doing so!

I'm like Three. I check the forums regularly during the workday, but once I get home from work... only once or twice.

Typically, I'll comment on things if I have something to add. Or start a new topic if I have good information to share. Lately, I haven't been in STO much, due to playing SWTOR still.

And if I post stuff about SWTOR, Mugato blows a blood vessel.... :p

Same with me. I just check it out whenver I can and comment on anything of importance. But same with Sylinn, I get caught up playing SWTOR

Endeavour · Posted Sat 19 May, 2012 10:23 AM

Same as most of the above, I only post when I have something to say, which ain't very often. And I'm playing TOR as well. :p

There usually is a lag of activity around this time of year. Should pick back up in about August time.

I'm always watching these forums, I've got my eye on you Ensign! o.O

There's also some area's you wouldn't be able to see because of clearance levels (cue: Cayman's line) but it's not as if all the action goes on there either, there's quite a few ways for us to communicate with each other so it gets spread out a bit, we're deceptively active .
