How big will we be?

[Vicious Horizon]

How big do you guys think ATK will ever get? Will we, in the end, have 1000s of active members who are active almost 24/7, with Chalex "borrowing" some money from donations for his new computer, or will we always stay a relatively smaller community with 20 or so active members? Just thought it would be an interesting idea.

I personally think that ATK will one day be quite big, maybe 100-250 active members, but in the future, maybe a couple of years on or so.. Thoughts?

Chalex is already borrowing money for his low rider and PC so were a bit of both


For ATK to get really big though theres no other way but to be selling a product whether it be game hosting/Lan partys/Gaming editorials/comedy videos etc but thats a long old way down the line if it ever did happen.

That's exactly what I've always said, ATK really needs some form of product. I guess I've tried with the few comics I've made, but I can't really dedicate myself to that. Unless we produce something regular then I can't really see ATK getting much bigger at all. Chalex keeps going on about how many more hits we're getting every month and how many people visit the site, but the problem is none of them are staying. I'll suggest to him to advertise our reviews on the homepage or something, or perhaps get them recognised on other sites.

If by gaming editorials you mean like an online gaming magazine thats something we could really look into doing, though once again I cant see it making a large impact on active members (maybe on forums but not on many games).

LAN Parties is an interesting one. Ive hosted small ones at my houe / nans hours with up to 14 people before very succesfully. If we could find a venue realistically there isnt anything stopping us from hosting our own so long as we know an exact cost to know a minimum required attendance. This really would be a good way to build members.

If this is something people would aggree to id be more than happy to lead a lanparty, wherever in the UK it is.

Honestly i dont ever see ATK getting much bigger, maybe more members may join but nothing major.

If im going to be painfully honest after 2 or 3 years i dont see this community being active at all

I think to ever reach more members we would have to focus on some specific aspect of gaming, albeit a certain game or what EZ said

Sounds like the way forward

I'd just like to point out being the tard that I am, that all your poll options are incorrect (except the first one).

10 is not greater than 50
50 is not greater than 100
101 is not greater than 250

xD

Apart from that, i'd like to think in the 100s.

Shush you :P

You get the point, and it looks roughly right, they should just be the other way around xD


I'm thinking that the Comic and Review is the best way to go, the Machinima needs to be outstanding to even shine in the darkness....

And yeah, we get tonnes of hits, but who stays? Our latest "new" and active member is DK? Maybe Zealous? Something needs to draw people in really =/

Fixed .

I reckon 10<50, unless we really try hard.

It didn't need fixing, i was making a joke about it. He should have used a hyphen if you're being pedantic because the answers have nothing to do with whether one number is bigger than another, it's simply stating a range of numbers.

Machinima, Chaz?

The community won't expand unless we start playin games competitively so we can recruting members to other teams and then they will play others games and become part of the community, thats the easiest way forward. The other is as EZ a product, but at the current rate i think the community might be dead in a few years, maybe less :O

[Bloo]

Perhaps we should re brand ATK as a small revolutionary militia intent on taking over an African country? I know a guy who can get us railguns!

Or err, a serious suggestion, but I can't think of one of those, so I'll ramble a bit to pad out this post and then end much later than I should, infact I'll end it now. Right done.


EDIT: Also, why isn't their an option for 10 or less? Just saying, ATK could shrink as well.

[D_K_Head]

oh, and in before Mitch's "as big as your mother" comment.

[Target]

i think this thread should just be deleted we all clearly know that its not going to expand much, prob just stay around the same with a few new members joining and older members leaving
