I wish this forum was a bit more active
 

Should we do something to increase the activity of this forum?

I'm saying this because ABB.net is a pretty bad site to go on now, mostly because of the members and their opinions of Creed... but they have a pretty active Creed section (mostly because it's off-topic crap).

So do you think we could do anything?

Re: I wish this forum was a bit more active
 

I agree 110% although I still love most of the people over at ABB.net, it just gets ridiculous sometimes.

Re: I wish this forum was a bit more active
 

I think Steve is trying to get this board active via the two contests he has run recently...but ya its kinda dead over here...

Re: I wish this forum was a bit more active
 

abb.net sucks. if you say anything true but unflattering about the band the mods will come down on you like an anvil... they all blindly worship the band like its their job or something... i love alter bridge/creed but if there is something i dont like about them at some point i feel like i should be allowed to say what i want without having my threads deleted by some forum nazi.

The following is not meant as a negative statement, just a statement of fact:


When you look at the main page of this website it's not really consistently updated. The fact that in the most recent headlines below the 3 up are from 2004 attests to this.

I think if the main site showed more up to date info (such as putting up the clip of Thousand Faces to help give a lead in to the forums for something people can watch) and was updated more often then the forums would see a boost.

I understand this is CREEDfeed, but there was never really any news keeping people updated on Alter Bridge while creed was broken up on the main site, so there's been around 5 years of people not seeing any new info out of this site, so of course ABB.net is more active.


just my two cents

Re: I wish this forum was a bit more active
 

ok i have no idea why that was posted like 5 times...

Re: I wish this forum was a bit more active
 

I'm sure Steve is working on it...updates would be nice though.

Re: I wish this forum was a bit more active
 

I was in the process of rebuilding the site to be updated however real life has stepped in and taken away my time. Haven't posted this anywhere yet but I just bought a house. Between work and getting ready to move into the house I have not had much time to work on this site :(

Icedmofo is exactly correct. The site was not updated for awhile, causing fewer people coming back. Traffic started picking up when Creed reunited however again because lack of updates I think people came to the site and left.

Hopefully things will pick up as I slowly update the site. If you, the members, would like to help, get your friends to come on the forums and post. The more people on the forums and the more active the forums become, the more likely it is that newbies will register and start posting.

Re: I wish this forum was a bit more active
 

Totally understand. Best of luck with everything, really looking forward to the updates & of course this site growing again...I'll do my best to keep spreading the word.

Re: I wish this forum was a bit more active
 

I would like this place to be more active, I have been going on ABB because I have found the Creed forum has more topics started, info active etc. I guess it's up to all of us to make this happen in here.

Re: I wish this forum was a bit more active
 

most mods are like that actually.

Re: I wish this forum was a bit more active
 

Hey guys. I'm new here and just wanted to say hi. Hopefully this board can stay active and keep up with the new info on the band. I usually post at ABB.net but like you guys said, its getting crazy over there. Tons of disrespect being shown toward other members, the band, ERock, everybody.

I probably know some of you guys, but I look forward to meeting some new fans on here. :)

Re: I wish this forum was a bit more active
 

welcome.

Re: I wish this forum was a bit more active
 

Welcome Jeffro...I'm pretty sure you know me by now lol

Re: I wish this forum was a bit more active
 

Welcome Mate

Re: I wish this forum was a bit more active
 

Ok, I finally decided to sign up as, you guys are right, this place deserves a bit more attention than it's actually been getting.

So hi guys from England. My name's Steve, and thought it would be hilarious to call myself creve, a mixture of Steve and Creed. It hasn't worked naturally, but I'm sure you'll get used to my piss-poor humour (and English spelling of words such as humour, colour and any other words that should probably have a 'u' in it :D )

Nice to be here. Been watching for ages.

Steve.

Re: I wish this forum was a bit more active
 

That's how we spell it down under too :D

Re: I wish this forum was a bit more active
 

Maybe everyone on here can say something about themselves so we can get to know each other a bit more. I've been on here a few years but only remember Nagpo.

Re: I wish this forum was a bit more active
 

I'll say hello. The trouble is people have such different reasons for liking an intense band like Creed. And if they speak too pointedly sparks fly. Like the old Creednet. I did love that place though, my introduction to life on the internet. I love that guy's sig about the trapeze swinger, meant to look it up.
And I am enjoying Creed again, since they are friends with each other again.

Re: I wish this forum was a bit more active
 

It was Robin 101 who had that intriguing sig, which I will put below. I wish there was a forum for "off topic" but serious but still respectful but still fun lol...it's too hard - I know it - at Creednet there was the Band forum for the girls who had teenage sex fantasies about the bandmembers, they were divided into groups according to which member they had a crush on - reminded me of my youth and the Beatles (yes I am that old!). Then there was chat-a-rama where they had cyber sex fantasies with each other - but it was very good natured and funny - mostly they tried to make each other laugh and just generally be entertaining. Then there was Faith Forum - where we burned each other at the stake over what we believed. Yep where I hung out - I was fresh out of fundamentalism when I met Creed. Yet for some people Creed is the path TO fundamentalism. Which is how I know they are real "art" - the real thing will "minister to your need" whatever the heck it is.

Robin's sig:

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are ~ Awaken The Giant Within

And then
They went on to say
That the pearly gates
Had some eloquent graffiti
Like 'We'll meet again'
And 'Fuck the man'
And 'Tell my mother not to worry' ~ The Trapeze Swinger

I think they had a forum where people just talked about other bands - actually this site has all those forums - maybe in time as more people get interested in Creed things will get more active.

Re: I wish this forum was a bit more active
 

I just want people to know that with this post I wasn't insulting this site, calling it un-active. I made this post to compliment this site, as some serious Creed discussion actually happens here. Unlike ABB.net

Re: I wish this forum was a bit more active
 

Thanks, Shunammite.

The Trapeze Swinger is by Iron And Wine. I initially heard the song during the credits of a film called In Good Company.

A bit different to Creed and what I normally listen to, but the guy is a very unique songwriter. I also love his songs Passing Afternoon and Sodom, South Georgia.

On the topic of conversation, I frequented here a few years ago and it was a great site to visit at the time - very active, with some interesting, quality posters.

Anyone remember Uncertaindrummer?

Hopefully this place will pick up again with the reunion and I've certainly noticed an increase in activity these past few months.

On a personal note, I recently enjoyed my first Creed concert when I travelled over to Orlando from England.

What an experience!

Take Care

Re: I wish this forum was a bit more active
 

Yeah, it sounds good that we could all mention something about each other, to give it a bit more of a community spirit if you will, so that way when it's being flooded with Creed newbies after the launch of Full Circle, we'll at least know each others quirks and such :)

I realise that I write this as something of a newbie myself, but I think it'd be good to have some community spirit on here. I do notice some random friction every once in a while that, while there's nothing wrong with it as people should express how they feel, a lot of it seems quite needless.

Creed's a great example of a band of spirituality when you listen to their songs, both lyrically and musically and it's a great thing that we're embracing here.

Re: I wish this forum was a bit more active
 

I've didn't get to post on creednet. I was at the creedpit board. That was a great place, really enjoyed it. Even with all the tension there at times. PBF is a great board too, and most of the ones there came from the pit. I post at most of the creed boards, I like them all. ABB.net though has their own agenda, but it does seem now they are trying to be more inclusive of Creed fans.

Re: I wish this forum was a bit more active
 

I live in North Carolina, USA. It is dreadfully dull here. I'm a poor student. I'm 19. And I wan't to make it big in hollywood. Yeah, right. Honestly, isint that everybodys dream lol.

Re: I wish this forum was a bit more active

Re: I wish this forum was a bit more active

No, it was. It was aimed at you.
