Cannoneers are really good at PvE, 1-30 in under 2 hours, and training’s a breeze. :O

question for vusys: how much does hosting this website cost?$75USD/ year~

also, i have something to add.
the most depressing part about this site is that it’s so well-made but devoid of life.
if it was a shitty looking site I wouldn’t care as much, but the graphics and site in general look really nice and sleek. it’s a darn shame.haha okay I feel a bit better then.
I thought you were paying big bucks for the site. $75 a year is literally nothing.10 December 2011 at 07:45 #23213Vusys

ParticipantI think we’ve revisited the whole “get new traffic to VuTales” thing to death. Sure, we could certainly keep trying, but the chances of people wanting to stay in our little cozy website are fairly slim unless we individually get people to come.. and that hasn’t worked out very well.
Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see more people on this site because of the history, and I’d hate to see it die, but I can’t see us getting a boom of new users any time soon.

Don’t worry, next year you’ll have more poor university students using this site as well. Then we’ll all know how you feel

I beg to differ. It’s only been a few years since VuTales’ inception. I think we can visit this “new traffic” theory a few more times before it dies.

ParticipantWe’re all too old and busy. We need more prepubescent children. That always riles up activity.

ParticipantLet me play a sad song for you.
Anyway, I mean it could be worse.
We could be infested with porn bots, amirite?
Jokes aside, we need either a more focused community or simply more people. Take your pick.17 December 2011 at 03:37 #23187Vicelin
ParticipantI’m telling you, gimme a chat room and I will be here so often that you’ll actually have a chance to get sick of me. Like in the good ol’ days!
I think one of the reasons we may not get many new members is because the purpose of the site is kinda confusing. It doesn’t really have a unified direction in terms of content. That direction used to be MapleStory, but now we’re all over the damn place, and that can be really confusing to someone looking in from outside.
“Blog about anything” is just way too broad. There are already so many other sites for that out there, so I don’t think it’s a niche VuTales will find a place in. Plus, many people are already juggling several social media sites at once and simply have no time nor interest in joining another (sadly one of the reasons you hardly see me around, but thankfully I have most of you on facebook.)
Nass said: Sometimes I wish we all still played Maplestory, or we were still an MMO only site, zoning in on newcomers would be so much easier!Sometimes I wish that, too. But sadly it’s just not realistic. Unless we can get the PS back.
Maybe if we were all on the same server and made a VuTales guild, and then didn’t play seriously, just ran around like total morons…that might be the only thing that would get me back on Maple. Hell, I’d even pay for the guild.
EDIT: VUSYS YOU ADDED A CHATROOM FOR ME.
ME LOVE YOU LONG TIME.
