I'm trying very hard to become an active member here, but for some reason it doesn't feel like it's working. I feel out of place a bit, but I do enjoy being here.

Any advice you guys?
Thanks!

Hey man I can picture your Avatar (which is awesome by the way,) just by seeing your user name- an you know what they say; if Dizzy knows ya, baby you're on top'a 'da world.

But seriously, I don't think there's a big secret as to becoming 'more active,' maybe just find more engaging discussions and learn more about these wonderful members rather than just video game preferences? Also maybe we can have a game together night and you'll become one of the gang for sure!

Yeah unfortunately I don't have a 360, but I'm planning on getting one soon. But I do have some PS3 games I play online.

I'm active but I'm like the thread killer it seems like, every topic i post in, BAM it dies the next day. I guess my posts have too much greatness and people feel like they can't better that xD

The best thing to do is simply to converse with others and contribute to discussions you have insight on. Once you get more comfortable with the forum and it's member base, you'll find that the disucssion comes easier to you. There's always things to discuss in both the gaming and the off-topic sections, so you're bound to find your groove somewhere.

Just keep in mind that posts should always about quality instead of quantity, so don't look at the post count as being the sole indicator of how active you are. As DizzyDial said, becoming social and getting to know others is also good. If you're on Xbox Live or PSN, try connecting with a few people and see how that goes.

Well you are very intimidating :D

But just post things that are informative and interesting and not spam or hate messages. Find more common ground with people in the off-topic section as well as gaming in general. The good occasional joke would be nice too.

I'm all for welcoming new people so welcome to you HelsinkiRocks and Underoath.

As people have said before me, just become more active and make decent friends with people.
I managed to become great friends with Jon (ModRetGamer) as we both live in the U.K and used to chat a lot over Skype back when I was more "Available"

Just befriend people is my advice, also getting to know them through their Youtube channel is another great way of making friends.

Don't worry, you'll get there in the end, if you ever want to chat I am always here through the inbox option ;)

Not much I can say other than that, other than welcome :)

Man i've been here since the start and i only talk to a few people here, think i was a little abrasive to start with, though totally unintentional. who knows.

you'll find your way. Dont be discouraged, we're mainly a friendly bunch.

usually the best way is to treat others as you would like to be treated.

Quality posts, and it'll all come together.

Hell, I'm the most socially retarded person I know.. And I still manage it ;P
VSigma100: If I've learned anything on here it's that Andsy is a crazy bastard. LOL.
