irrespective of number of topics, traffic comes from quality of discussion and information.

i had run this experiment multiple times, during peace times when ever i temp banned pathological doomers en masse, quality of discussion improved and traffic comes. when temp ban expires, pathological doomers do their ususal rr, traffic goes down.

doomers don't need a lot of info to trigger and spread their doom and gloom , but folks who want to learn will need a quality info to convince them to spend time here.

Or better Create Cribbing thread and people can nominate posts for the cribbing thread. We can also nominate cribber of the week depending upon no of posts. I myself shall win few though

Today as education has improved & more surplus professionals available, Fresher to CEO are expendable.
But communication & presentation skills matter everywhere.
I'm a low IQ average guy who does time pass watching documentaries & on various types of tech forums related to my IT job, aviation, military, heavy machines, etc rather than gossiping, watching cricket, netflix, politics, etc. I use emojis for just some humor (website maker can disable them anytime), otherwise lots of different things bothers different types of people. Personal comments & slangs bothers me a lot. On certain forums i'm just an observer bcoz they don't like Indians or use too much slangs, get personal, out of topic, etc.
A moderator's personality is like school-class-monitor, event organiser, SME, TL where discipline, communication & presentation skills matter a lot.
Hence a forum like website's popularity depends on how members behave.

As @ezsasa says content, nature of posts and quality of discussion matters. Really frankly for me DFB is warms up after one of the @Ayan Barat @Binayak95 @Chinmoy @Charlie @Azaad @COLDHEARTED AVIATOR @rkhanna @ezsasa @Arihant Roy @dfi_pk many others from Special forces thread post some Technical /Statistical/Tactical insight.

Use AI but refine it with your thoughts and post here o DFBIans

By the way I am lowest among low and posses no skill - just post random musing, grumbling and sometimes from memory what I read somewhere.

[johny_baba]

You can place it anywhere but make it public. Coerece, Force @johny_baba to make regular posts there Introduce Google Bots for that subsection only - and then pray for Gen Z to pick up the crumbs

ara bhai...

i will try but i'm getting busy in my lief here, also my teligram is down since that day i mentioned that i shall share my contents to yogya paatra someday, kisi manhoos ki najar lagg gyi what happened was I was sharing some of those contents to a fren there aur yeh saalaa aasteen ka saanp muje report maar diya that i'm spamming...and teligram put me on a week's cooldown period and logged me out of my devices...i did put a 2FA password but well...i forgot it and as i never put any recovery mail there teligram is only giving me two options - either remember the password any way possible or reset it, and reseting would mean loss of years of contents, which is unacceptable to me...

so i'm trying to brute force my password every some hours, erasing out unsuccessful ones on this sheet of paper here, i still have good 1 year of period to recover it, after that, it'll be over for me

so i'll try to contribute about stuff i can, but unless i recover my teligram password, it'll be limited

 

[Suga]

my sincere prayers to Ishwar that if it's destined to happen anyway THEN PLEASE MAKE IT STRIKE ON KANGLULAND

Make whole crater out of it.

Mate I am no electromechanics expert - just have varying interest sometimes. I was just intrigued and encouraged by your really technically erudite postings - it just encouraged me to read bit things out of my comfort zone. But I do recommend again you to take moderator or curator role for Defense Tech - especially all things Electro Mechanical and Design. Given the Nature of this discussion that you posted in last(highlighted by me) - I suggest you take up this role along with @Bhartiya Sainik who will balance your Doodling skills with his 3D editing skills - while you can moderate his smileys and make his huge content to crisper text. Seriously Together you can produce front page worthy articles and shall be force to reckon with just like Jatin - Lalit Duo

There are specialized forums already available for the stuff which you are requesting to add here. Our novelty is the Defense discussion, and we want to keep it to that only.

​

Anyways, if you really wanna increase member count on this forum then this "WhatsApp pe Jai Mata Di likhein aur teen dosto ko bheje" thing's not gonna work in the long run.

The best option in my opinion is creating a Twitter account of DFB and you all Admins and Mods deciding among them who's "moderate" enough to have access to that handle. And by tolerant I mean someone in between writing "Joy Hind" on every post and "Bloody Generol".

We have had this discussion before. Things have changed drastically in last 2 decades. Back during 2010-15 era people used to search for forums like us and sign up and continue discussions. But now People don't like to sign up anywhere. Their attention span has decreased and get distracted easily.

Twitter has become one place for all things, and most don't bother to join anything else.

We have to now force people to join us and even then, they don't really patriciate and forget after registering. I got few to join but they rarely logs in.​

Hmmm, good point

You can also try offering ₹2,100 to one unmarried girl above 18 in family if someone makes an account and keeps their presence here.
@haldilal can easily fund us

 

[Corvus Splendens]

We have more guests online than members right now.

Few people I did persuade to join old DFI went back to twitter fast because they are only interested in news from "official" handles. Some like sticking to reddit because "more pictures" there.

Not really, see Team-bhp - it has section discussing computers, diY, ships, planes and what not - not related to cars. And even for defence - photo section is must. Not pulling legs or criticizing - genuinely want people to join organically. Twitter has its limitations otherwise why discord platforms getting popular.

By the way just random musing here - Why not try using Mid journey to create videos posts summary of Defense threads on youtube/twitter - and link to get redirected here. For eg on Kaveri, Artillery or what Arihant , Ayaan etc on DFI post. Should be interesting experiment.

@crazywithmath @Jackprince

Any other bengalis here?

I have to vent to someone who might understand.


I sometimes seeth in my mind when I think about the land lost to kongladesh.
East bengal I would say is actual bengal described in poem and stories of bengal literature, marshland, wetlands, mangroves you name it.

It's a beautiful country lost to swamp goblins and further it continues to torture its hindu heritage.

I ain't even bengali btw but seeing these aesthetics makes me seeth endlessly. I wish the end of civilization just so that we can cull kanglus out of bangladesh.
Rant over.

Tbh, you can find similar aesthetics on this side too. Outsiders do not hear of them much often because the state tourism Ministry is dysfunctional. From the snow covered peaks of the Himalayas to the mangroves, from the beaches down south to the lush green forests of the Dooars, from the beautiful freshwater lakes of Cooch Behar to the serenity of Tagore's Shantiniketan, from the ruins of Karnasubarna (capital of the Gaudas and later, the Palas) and the Gangaridais to the temples of the Mallas of Bishnupur - this state should have been the tourism capital of India; too bad not to be....

As far as kanglus are concerned, of course they have more of it because they got the bigger chunk. And Bangla literature (mostly) features the rivers and landscape of WB only - because this side was the centre of the 18th/19th century Indian renaissance and kanglu Ms barely produced any poet/novelist of note.

Personally, I do not consider kanglus true Bangalis. They chose to break away from our traditions and the heavily islamized dialects they speak are anything but Bangla.

payi lagu dada

lol what survey r u exactly doing tho?

 

[Suryavanshi]

payi laagu dada

Kush raho babu

i am 20

I guessed so.

Now I'll explain why I asked.

You see I have been noticing a pattern in username.
Younglings in your age bracket are using terms like operator very frequently. This is a marker that you are likely young.
The term operator is glamorized very recently and older generation aren't very familiar with it, at least not enough to use it in their username.

I guess this is due to the growing influence of FPS games like rainbow six and wider coverage of Special force documentary and youtube channel.

Wasn't it also the case that the lower reaches of Bangladesh were uninhabitable swamps / mangrove forests which were literally drained during the Mughal period & later turning it into cultivable lands with them inviting folks from surrounding areas to share the aborigines there , all of whom were converted & formed part of the lower classes viz peasants , artisans etc ?

Btw this ghoti vs bangal debate is also an old one with both sides claiming they inhabited the better part.

I'm assuming you're a ghoti.

It's a necessary skill as you grow older, this also has a added benefit that it helps you in understanding women.
One or two nasty encounters with women will force you to think certain way.

See next time you observe a person's behavior do try to hypothise as to why he holds certain opinion or ideals. What was his life like what must he have went through to shape him into the way he/she is.
