MAKE VSTANCED.COM BIGGER !!

maybe some kind a VS stance logo and put it on every mod thats coming out here, assuming everybody will get their hands on eventually

greetzzzzz

I have idea, if you want hear it, just say.

I think we should make a nice competition maybe use Funky cars and make Rally with different stages like we did once in gom, or maybe time attack with different stages. .

We have everything in our hands. . Do something different, make something insane, go worldwide, be for everyone, be the best.

# Jesus Christ : the problem with comps is that not many people can actually be bothered to join.. think about it the xmas comp is like really good not a lot of effort with a BIG prize.. we are yet to get 10 members to join.. which sucks big time.

The reason why no one join your competition, because is kinda weird. . Like for me, it's just to weird, bored and don't know not fun to do that. . Also some peoples like something different, just do different, something different, something BIG and insane.

i agree with Edd its hard to think of something everybody will join and like, yet stick to a certain theme.

I'm for time attack. .

in my opinion the main problem is. how we can get the site more popular. for example when i look on gom in the car part search topic people ask for the golf2. so most of the people dont even know vstanced.

what we can do?

the first point would be that we show wips on gom and announce projects what gets released soon. cause vstanced has good and active modders! and the releases should on vstanced only, so that the people have to come to this site.

the second thing is when we have enogh members, what check the site more often, then we can start to host competitions.

and always keep in mind that slrr lives only with community and so always will come new people around and ask newbie question. what i want to say with that that we have to be friendly also to new members/slrr players.

thats it waht i can say for the moment what i have in my mind and for the future i will just release my mods the on vstanced like it is with the mk2

so have a nice day

i agree with roli ! the same problem for a long time on gsm ! many registrated users, many clicks per day but the most users are not active in the forum !
users comes...look what is new ( dl, pics...) and leave the site! i think same is here on VS!?
so what we can do?!
more mods?!
show wip on more slrr sites?!
maybe a complete mod slrr for download ( replace the stock slrr cars, new menus and icons, new dacals ... )
a stance version of slrr?!

but i think the biggest problem is this...
on gom are many modders like robban, skyline, tommi, d1 racer...
and here on VS... two or three modders...
JC ( grudas ), jaziba ... and ?! IDK

you know what i mean?
sorry for my crappy english

Well, I wouldn't do that PM thing Dopey mentioned in the OP, given that GOM already has a VStanced banner, and mods with VStanced stuff. Not to mention your VStanced signatures.

The site should broaden it's "area of expertise", so it won't be just SLRR / LFS / automotive stuff. And if you are to keep this "theme", I say you come up with a big project. I could make sure it would get some publicity on GOM, but then again, I'm not sure if that would attract active users, or just leechers.

yeah something liek that sounds really good.

or maybe we can gift some active people. for example: after 500 senceful posts the user can get a brandnew muffler and after 1500 posts users can get a quickconverted car of his choice.

but waht its pretty annoying is that u get access to the dl section after 3 or 5 posts. that would be pretty stupid and i think the forum would be full of spam. if u remember ger-tech had that some time.

but now i really want to hear someting of the admins of vstanced what they will change or do to make to site more attractive

i like some of the ideas the one's d1 suggested for e.g. i have been considering for long.. since i don't mind releasing my BETA mods which i share with mates for the active members too.. the problem i guess would be them getting leaked..

the restriction of download well as i've said it would make the numbers bigger on the "member" list but won't make the website any more active. obviously i want to keep download access to all.. we can see systems like "money/paid vip" on kietekas for e.g. not working at ALL i mean you get a shit load of spam and thats all..

the rolis idea with gifts is really good i guess one problem we would get is actually MAKING the gift.. i mean sometimes people get busy with their own lives and just can't get the "gift" done it time if you know what i mean.. im not saying it isn't possible tho!

drifter - well honestly i do try hard to get this site going its just i guess the lack of intrest that fucks it up.. i guess you are right.. if we get some thing BIG i mean a GOOD idea to attract people we would get the activity we want.. i vstanced is quite new site.. and we get 200+ unique visitors a day.. which is a good amount.. the problem i guess is that they open-look-leave with no intention to come back..

the WIP topics on gom is quite good idea.. but i guess all the active members already know of vstanced who would be posting on gom

acyd - the number of modders i guess is not a problem.. i mean after all we get the permission to release the mods from robban and so on so the mods still get to vstanced and some peeps like robban/d1racer do post a bit here too

++++++++++++++++++++++


after all its a hard job to get the site going i would suggest good updates from the members like submiting news? pictures/video w/e you feel is newsworthy on vstanced would be good.. since you know alone i can't really get it all done in time i mean.. for e.g. now my free time is GF/bmx/college rarely do i get proper time to do something on the website but i do try to get the time to post news and so on..

So yeah if you want to submit something some good video? set of pictures? and don't know exactly how to do it PM me and ill explain it no problem


also thanks a lot for all the suggestions its good to hear them and im sure ill consider some of the ideas as some are really good.

the project is going pof.. i mean we need a lot of work.. and diego is pretty much out with the GT5/Work we just don't have enough MAN power/time to do it in time.. i mean i got the 3 cars pretty much ready.. jag/s5/e92.. but the others i have no idea of the state as that is yours franco... and the RAM is mine of course but just a VERY basic convert done there..

doesn't sound like much then...

bmw needs - glows redone... catalog cleaned..

s5 - needles, flaps, suspension and catalog

jag - needles, suspension, flaps, catalog..

ram - suspension, glows, needles, catalog, flaps..

subaru - pretty much needs to be redone

ferrari - just some minor things.. holes? flaps? suspension..


for my cars around 4-6hrs work.. catalog screens are done.. paintjobs fixed.. sounds - easy.. maps there too..

if u need help i can clean the rpk's from not needed partts and scripts the suspension...

one other thing is we can to to focus an new moedders. that mean we can or better we should create new tutorial how slrr works. cause the all in one tut david_69 has done a few years ago. it isnt the standard anymore. we need a new one with new reflection etc also a explanation of the new tools. for example francos coordinates script. we are very international here so maybe all of us can do a tut in the native language.

having a website is real hard work to get it to success. we all have many ideas but now we have to do something

well.. yeah i guess that i can add a vstanced link in my little applications i need correct a few things to make them usable for everyone... and maybe see what else i can do in that matter, but a GOOD tutorial in english will be enough i think

well... yeah... i made a tut for scripting parts in place, but it's using my coordinate scipts :p not everyone uses it...

and then for rims, my app it's usefull too, and with the other one you can easily edit part names and other things like price, description, rim diameter and width...

i will have to release a tut when i release the applications. so i guess that making a tutorial of the "traditional" way to mod it's the way to start, and as you said, only explain a few things then the rest it's repeat the same process...

then when i release my stuff i will explain how to use the "new" way to mod.. at least my way

# Jesus Christ : yeah we need a FULL Tutorial on something.. rim? maybe a car? i mean by a car just start of with thing like chassis.. go to door.. flaps? mirrors? all other parts pretty much is a repeated process.. i've tried to do it.. but what i've learned is that it needs to be planned good..

when i was making a "stance tutorial" i soon found out its hard to make a tutorial, that can be understood by all

# Roli : if u need help i can clean the rpk's from not needed partts and scripts the suspension...

one other thing is we can to to focus an new moedders. that mean we can or better we should create new tutorial how slrr works. cause the all in one tut david_69 has done a few years ago. it isnt the standard anymore. we need a new one with new reflection etc also a explanation of the new tools. for example francos coordinates script. we are very international here so maybe all of us can do a tut in the native language.

and yes the outdated tutorials do need replacing.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and about the FM3 > SLR project, i think i can help with the subaru. i got diego's max files somewhere and i made some custom parts for it too, so imma search that 1 and re-export etc.

nice one! always good to show links in pictures/posts/videos etc

I can convert tracks and release just here and notice about release in other sites, also i can talk with FLED to make his topic here and maybe put banner.

we rarely have the mods vstanced only mainly the betas that get "vstanced exclusive sticker" on.. i guess now its just peoples preference where they want to spend their time gom or vstanced since vstanced is like a tiny gom.. lol

im exchanging the banners with other slrr websites.. so its all good atm one day we'll find what attracts the people more aye?

Added 1 minute later:

and vstanced is well about VIRTUAL STANCE if you remember we had a lot of BS going on us at gom about stanced/slammed cars and so on.. which was just annoying since you never got a proper feedback on your car..
