Hive's Member Populace

[Rispetto]

As of July 4th, 2011, The Hive Workshop has exactly 48,045 members.
What the hell?
Why is it so dead here? >_>

 

[Direfury]

Yes because multiple thousands of people equals dead community.

 

[Skycraft]

There seems to be many people active everyday, I have no idea what your talking about.

 

[Deleted member 177737]

When I'm on in the day (Eastern Canada Time) theirs nobody posting =/

 

[Direfury]

Yeah? Well when I'm on during the day (Western Canada Time) everyone is posting.

 

[Galagoz]

I've used hive since the beginning.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

People come and go.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Apparently there were almost 100,000 players so far, but after some update Ralle reduced that to less than half of them to filter out stuff I guess, but I do admit the community is quite active and many new members join daily, so I doubt it's dead.

 

[Magtheridon96]

There's a new member every 2-4 minutes
It's definitely not dead

 

[Rispetto]

The SC2 forums are completely dead.
And WC3 is dead in general, lmao.
Other than DotA, of course.

 

[-W3SK3R-]

There are active members 150-200 and guests to 800 that's nothing to compare with the 50.000 users.

 

[mckill2009]

it's not dead, it's just diminishing coz of new games but if bloody blizzard updates WC3 yearly, I believe more than a 1000 will post everyday...

You ever visit our Spells section or the World Editor Help Zone?

Hard to moderate because of a huge volume of activity there.

I see new posters all the time.

If you call one-time visitors 'members', sure THW is full of such.

 

[Bribe]

Trust me, if you were regularly visiting the WarCraft III Modding
sections (World Editor Help Zone/Triggers & Scripts/Spells) you
wouldn't have the impression that anything is on a decline.

 

[Magtheridon96]

One-time members eventually come back you know.
I was a one-time member myself back in 2008
I came back on August 6, 2010 to download models, icons, etc...
But on January 21, 2011, I started posting, uploading spells and systems, and getting involved with the community.

I know we shouldn't count "one-time" members.
Anyway, a new "involved" member with potential joins every 2-3 days (I always encounter them in the WEHZ)

 

[mckill2009]

wow mags, I was a member on 2009 but seems like you and I came back on the same month?, lol!...

 

[Bribe]

I came here for help building my WarChasers 2 map and I
guess I got carried away.

Apparently, you got too carried away

same here, though it was for that godawful campaign I was working on

 

[TheKurt009]

I've seen members since 2006 who have 0 posts, but their "Last Visited" date is today

lol
i think some people are quite emo.

 

[Linaze]

I think many register only to upload their awful maps.

 

[Bribe]

I think many register only to upload their awful maps.

Yeah, here we are.

 

[Magtheridon96]

I think many register only to upload their awful maps.

That hurts D:

 

[Linaze]

Yeah, here we are.

"only to upload"
"only"
My post had nothing to do with people who come here asking for help on how to best improve their map(s). I was referring to people who register here, upload their awful map and then leaves never to return.

 

[Bribe]

Well, the recommendation did come after I got tired of
EpicWar (either that or their server was down at the time).

And the map was pretty terrible

If I maintained it now, well, it would be better I hope

 

[Magtheridon96]

And the map was pretty terrible

I played it a few months ago (I was browsing and I found that I had already downloaded a Warchasers II). When I saw the name "Bribe" practically everywhere , I knew that it was what you were reffering to in this thread.
It's really bugged btw >.<
My brothers kept going perma-invulnerable and farming all the creeps

 

[Ignitedstar]

And there's people like me. Make an account. Leave for seven years. Come back going, "Hey, I remember this place," and then, "Wait. I made an account here? LOL" x3

I will... submit something within the year. I hope...

 

[Linaze]

You're that RP guy from WC3C, welcome (back).

 

[Ignitedstar]

I've been at Wc3c.net as it dies slowly, but I'll admit that I forgot about the Hive when I found that wc3sear.ch was put down and I was e-mailed the website's new address (then erased it thinking I wouldn't forget). Yes, all a loooong time ago.

The SC2 forums are completely dead.

THW never really had a chance with SC2. Not with all the other sites out there.

 

[Asomath]

Yeah... I've been feeling a lack of creativity bursting from te hive...

And I thought it was going to be able to handle SCII :/

Perma invulnerable? How's that?

Yeah I know it bugs, I built that when I was almost brand new to wc3 modding.

I think I will revive that map with my new skills

 

[mckill2009]

I think I will revive that map with my new skills

I'd like to see a map made by you ...

 

[Bugz]

i dont think that Hive is " dead ", but if there is 50k members, then its kind off dead :/

 

[Linaze]

50 thousand members equals "kind of dead"? What have you been smoking, Sir? Now, active members are 8500 or something like that, but even if that number was for example 200, I still wouldn't call this site kind of dead.

 

[Bugz]

If there is around 50 thousand members, and there are Online Users: 1,189, its a pretty bad statistic :/, but there is still alot going around..

 

[Linaze]

A large part of them 50k registered years ago and haven't made a single post, and I doubt they're even aware they have an account here.

Edit: There are something like 16,5k accounts here without a single post.

 

[Bugz]

isnt that also bad?

 

[Saif]

I came to hive around 2009 and quit at the end of the year considering I was a kid and I moved on with my life that became complicated but now That it is not anymore I came back to hive hoping to make a game we will enjoy, I will try my best to be an active member xD

AND HIVE WILL NEVER DIE xD

 

[Bugz]

i agree hive wont die :/ wont happend

[Miss_Foxy]

I used to be active in another forum and always believed I'll never be active in Hive because I always thought it was a forum too 'advanced' and 'high-class' for me, but ever since I became a member at 2008, I came back to the Hive at around 2010 and never stopped ever since.

 

[Saif]

yes everything has an end but there will be persons who will continue what we have started And that will start a new beginning xD

 

[mckill2009]

hive will never die if people will continue to support this awesome site...

 

[Bugz]

and they will.

 

[Bribe]

I have no exit plan here.
