Often there's around forty or sixty people actively lurking.
It's really very quiet though, so make some noise, and get grouped today!

Hey neat, there's literally nothing else to say in this thread
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
also Clarence for clarence event,
drifter for when we had drifter missions,
ranters for all out arguments(ok I made that one- feel free to have arguments on there rather than zone everyone)
trade for random discussions and occasionally trade
Concepts and builds- I'm not on
that's another useful one, for people with questions
why not a thread listing all useful channels, rather than one for each channel. If you list them all you may be able to get it stickied

Because then all the whining and crying about CoX channel and community would also get stickied.
We don't need that. We are not discussing that in this thread.
Here I want to see how many people join LFG and ideally to take a head count
in a week and hopefully find some improved participation.
An individual thread will find the person that the thread is meant for, a thread updated will likely get spotted by the very few who wander through the forums and click the "new posts" or "Today's posts" link.
You want to make a possibly stickied thread about all the dead channels out there, go ahead.
Here's some Vibora, Westside, Ok, 0_o, Boobs, Bones, Trees, Reddit, ERP, RP, Roleplay, LFT, off-topic, Clones, Code, Math, Champions, mooks,friends, New, and Teams. Just to name a few.
So, what makes you consider those useful channels?
@flamingbunnyman in game. Formerly @Roderick in City of Heroes.
It needs a boost.
If it was a default chat tab it would be a huge improvement to the system we have now of new players being silenced, zone/combat/reward/mission text/trade spammed while ignored by experienced players by default.
If 'show player level' was an option in the chat along side time and date and message category,
what a revolution in teaming that would be. When I hear a vague call for help with minimal
information like "help me with a mission?", I check their level in the social window.
What a hassle, sometimes the persons name pops up but the UI doesn't want to actually select them.
Getting their levels gives a good idea what content they want to play and is a big factor on wether or not anyone wants to respond.
The timid new players are not going to jump at "Purple Reign" or "Brains Behind the Breakout" if they don't know those are level nine and ten mission , to them it could be end game bosses.
[LFG][9:00][20] Queen City anyone?
[LFG][9:00][35] LFM Carrier wave
is a lot better than "Anyone for Fatal Error? Surprise I'm level 6, you do all the work!"
You know what happens to me a lot?
[Zone] Noob: Someone help with purple gang hideout?
Noob has joined the team
[Zone] Me: anyone else for Purple Reign
[Zone] He: me!
[Zone] She: me too!
He and She tend to both be level 40, veterans of the game, and don't sidekick.
It's a half a minute run with all the impact of "this never happened to me before' performance in the sack.
Knowing their levels as soon as they respond and just pretending I didn't hear them would save a lot of trouble.

Where you can't even PM people unless they are on your friend list
THAT is something that needs removing, there is no logical reason to stop a new player from talking. They are the ones who need to ask questions the most.

Well the logical reason is to prevent people from spamming, and then trolling
after they have been chat banned with an easily made new character and account.
Everyone suffers just in case a few people down the line might just be jerks.
They should remove the 'new users can't post in forums' rule, so that new users can come here for bug reports and looking for players to play with. I've never seen a "no post for new users" rule on a forum or maybe if I did I just didn't bother with whatever product the forum was supporting.
I'm sure that happens more often than people waiting days to be allowed to speak, asking a question, waiting a half a day to get an answer, then spending money here because that was a encouraging experience for them.
