This place isnt that different

[AfRoMaTiC480]

Definitely stoked on signing up and getting stuff up on fluckit, Its nice to have a home again, but minus a few trolls, this place doesnt seem that different. No Comments, No feedback and barely any views. I know i just got on fluckit but most of u i definitely know and have maybe talked to some why or another.

just had some food for thought. feel free to comment how u will.

peace

You need to keep in mind that the general traffic for any fake skate forum has drastically decreased, a great deal of the cool heads have left. What's left is basically the core community and the occasional lurker, which means a lot less views, comments and feedback.
Besides that, it's essentially the same agenda as any other community; to gain acceptance you need to be active, friendly etc. A broad generalization perhaps, but those who have been active the most/longest are the ones receiving the most attention.

I kinda know who you are and I'm sad you feel that way about Fluckit. All I can say is that the fake skate community is slowly dying and there's not much anyone can do about it.

what the swede said, he's always right. and yeah, skate 3 is basically dead. but we still enjoy hanging out here, enjoy the occasional video and talk about other stuff.

Swedes are always cool
And they make great meatballs and tan well

Comment on other videos, make friends
If your looking for views these days good luck, it's just getting old and the old heads have seen over 200 or maybe in my case probably over 1000
Even good porn gets old

I will tell you that the core here are like real life friends almost. Fluckit is kind of a social network as well. With that said none of us like to be compared to anything. Love it or leave it good or bad.

This might just be a personal thing, but I don't comment on as much stuff because I hate saying the same things over and over again in my posts. It might not have anything to do with the video at all, I just dont wanna be the guy to say "sick gap @ 1:07, kickflip up the stairs was tight, half cab out so good" etc etc etc.

very true and i appreciate the feedback. i guess i gotta start from scratch being that its a new place for me. even though i recognize many names here im still treated like im new to the game. ive lurked here for a bit before signing up, (don't know why i didnt sign up) and it just sometimes seems like the same group of people just stay to their own croud and dont branch out to much to look at what else is out their.


appreciate the time to comment and read knex. i know we've prolly exchanged views before. thanks for the words

[Ohmidineffect]

It's sad how dead it's all getting :/ In a few months it'll just be like 30 people and random trolls who deviated from ea.

[meAd4m76]

I believe that fluckit isn't about views or activity, it's about community and trying your freaking hardest to fit in, if you wanna see it more active you too have to be more active, it's a vicious circle. Just post a lot and comment on everything and the peeps should come typing at you like Charles dickens on 'roids being chased by super saiyan 4 vegeta In the middle of a hurricane.

mini demz rant.

at this point ive stopped giving a fuck...

e-cred and views... there just isn't a point...

whoever is starting from scratch now is playing a dead game... movin into a deserted town...

[SK8ERatWAR]

i don't completely agree with you marco, i've seen a steady rise in views and comments on ma vids since i've joined here. And gained a lot of e-buddy's too ^^
there's many new talent in the fakeskating scene. And i think the community has been more active lately, many community tages and stuff..

ya but compared to the s2 days / early s3 days (which i dont have complete knowledge about since i wasn't there)...

i mean there were multiple forums with traffic and many activities. even in the early s3 days (when i arrived) there was this community vibe (even though it was mostly negative) that just isn't present anymore. im familiar with that energy that used to be in the community. i started a competition that was very active to me. hell if you try to start a competition these days... good luck with that.

Honestly the early s3 days were much more serious than today (and by that i mean more active)... people were more power hungry...
And it wasn't always a bad thing. I can remember a year ago... seeing all the teams in the clubhouse... with their huge threads an active rosters. I wanted to be apart of that. But then I stopped giving a fuck. Most of these people have three years on me... 3 years that I will never have.

The OGs got their fun... their CC memories and many generations of teams...

But I also look at the different perspective. I mean people STILL play this game seriously. We see new people all the time. I'm seeing new teams and filmers on Lb. Jerrel still gets a billion views on his videos. I particularly get a significant amount of views. Lb is actually were all the kids go... all the new peeps. People like adam and matty are the new generation. But they will always have that timing disadvantage. This game will ACTUALLY die soon before they can do big things. Like I said, the OGs had their 3 years of comments and forum presence.

And the core of the fun in this series... seshing with people... is still in existence. I session with some REALLY good skaters that would be considered new. People still take turns with their friends, doing ridiculous lines until they bail. I do that. That is what this game is about. The separation of styles and the whole "I'll judge you by how you film," ruined it. I'm that guy who can enjoy all styles.

[Ohmidineffect]

Hahah don't be a debbie downer, My view on it is that if you had people who still played OG and skate 2 while skate 3 was out there will be more of us coming in steadily. It will die definitely, all good things come to an end lol.

[heshfield]

You have to remember that skate 3 vids are a very subjective thing--people are going to like what theyre going to like regardless of who you are or who you know, etc.

Especially with the state of skate 3 and the current demise of the whole phenomenon; its a community based on friendships rather than everyone just worshiping each other. I know it doesnt always seem that way, but its a good thing because it helps reinforce the level of honesty here--if everyone got a standard number of comments for each video, itd be hard to say each one of those comments were genuine.

Thats why you have to do this stuff for yourself primarily for it to really be worth something.

I'll add on to this. Not really sure how much this will contribute to this thread, but I fucking love my own solos more than anything else. I can watch them again and again and it never gets old. If someone else is into it, awesome. If not, that's not going to change anything (don't get me wrong, I DO appreciate criticism, but I'm not going to stop just because I don't please other people). Comments are great and all, but I make videos for myself more than anyone else.

That said, the very first video I made was a RL video part remake. It got over 200,000 views and was pretty well received, but I haven't watched it in probably two years because I really hate how it turned out. I made another shortly after, and it wasn't nearly as popular but still has more views than all my other videos combined. I could probably get tons more comments and views if I made another one, but the first one just wasn't fun for me. My recent videos get 100-200 views on average, sometimes less, but I'll keep making them because it's what I like doing.



edit: SG I hate to tell somebody with 1000+ posts to chill out, but man your reaction is WAY out there. There's a nice medium between "pussyfooting" and flipping your shit.
