why is everyone so damn boring here now? :/

Damn im new here and fr, its kind of boring when there is no one who accually talks 

yea i joined like 2 weeks ago and its so sad and dry. haven't got a single message apart from one of those 'share with 5 people or satan will come'

finally somebody else who agrees! if u wouldn't mind would you want too ACTUALLY be friends or at least just not be silent I'M LOOSING HOPE HERE</333

yeaaa ofc :)))

no fr i be trying to make different posts for people to talk with me or reply to people but they shut down conversation really quickly :(

happens all the time with me, even worse are the ones that just collect friends AS A NUMBER 

I admit that I have no clue how to use this site lmao. I've interacted a tiny bit with the Furry group, and posted about Weird Weather once, but that's about it. Do you have any tips? 83c

people are shy and anxious, simple as

Lol, I've been on here for three months. The first week was pretty active but then everyone but one person I talked to became dry and ever since then, nobody is usually on here anymore, kinda sucks.

If it's about the IM or whatever you call that Direct Message function, I don't really expect much, cuz that function sucks compared to other messaging apps. 

I do find it cozy here, mostly lurking and going through others' blogs and topics to comment on like this one here. Yeah, sure, it doesn't have the same dopamine hit when you get a reply this morning but you only found out about it days later. 

But, that's how it is with an -- for the lack of better words -- outdated format which is why MSN works so well with the masses while small indie sites like this disinterest a lot of people out. Which is I found rather sad.

I feel like message boards are dying and like group of people on the internet wanna keep it alive but then there's only like a small group who are actually active and talk

ok i know i promised myself not to be active until my spacehey profile looks all aesthetic and shit but i hoped i would be able to chat in forums where it’s not too fast pace and overwhelming liek roblox and discord, but also not to 1-1 and awkward which kinda forces u to make friends. like i just wanna talk to ppl bro i thought this could be my chance to connect but no it’s even deader than i thought, so dead people only talk abt it being dead and that’s the only thing that’s getting ppl talking (aka now lol)

i feel like it’s another RH (royale high) situation where nowadays it’s all about grinding for the diamonds and looking good instead of role playing and fitting into the high school princess vibe it has, but instead of ur avatar looking good its ur profile looking good its just sad sometimes. there’s even a post on IG related to spacehey and all the comments talk abt how dead spacehey is like why don’t we revive ~The Lounge~ or make a new one

anyways thats me throwing my 2 cents on it i really wish it would magically revive one day, i believe it can 

EDIT: OMGA THATS ANOTHER THING I FORGOT TO METNION. THERES LIKE SOO MANY PPL ONLINE WHO R OBSESSED WITH THIS LIKE 2000S AESTHETIC. WHETHER ITS THE SCENE KIDS OR MCBLING LOVERS JUST Y2K LOVERS IN GENERAL so it just makes me all the more frustrated on how they aren’t on here as well like yeah there’s some but idk i haven’t seen many on forums (tbf i haven’t checked many out) but STILL my point is there’s SO much more on tiktok who probably haven’t HEARD of spacehey. I think the best thing to do is hype it up on more popular apps but thats when things could go downhill bc at the same time u don’t want spacehey developing toxic environments or becoming TOO popular iykwim, but boosting it subtly would probably help A LOt for the ppl who r interested in 2000s internet culture and ppl like us wanting conversations to rise up.

wait wait chat lemme try something  <— DID IT WORK 

its entirely what you make it tbf :o

one thing that does suck tho is not having notifs for when someone starts a new thread

an option to subscribe and get notifs would be such a game changer <33

AGREED

Just coming back here since I am subscribed to this forum topic lol

I hate that a particular spacehey friend I found really interesting suddenly went offline or I never heard from again. Not even in bulletins.

IM is the least likely place I dwell into because instant messages bore the hell out of me, and I rather engage in topics like this or through bulletins. It sucks! I think there're some factors to take into consideration that people will log off someday and will never return unless they remember their account here.

IT SUCKS! SUCKS, SUCKS!

I mean, sure, consider me boring. We're probably never have the same interest in the first place. I'm not a conversation starter, but I'm willing to stick around whenever moots have interesting to say in their blogs or bulletins. Dropping a comment to share a nugget into my psyche.

But I guess that's the caveat of signing up for a less popular website, even if it has the outdated format that attracts some but a turn-off to a lot of people. 

totally agree with your opinion ,  being spacehey user for around 10 months i did noticed same thing all time (most part of users does not interact or even if you met a decent friendship then it became inactive or even left spacehey in short period time) . Spacehey its most filled by weird generation users like:  attention seekers,  friend or follower collectors,  emos and sceno things and even those who normalize gore and other dark topics,  its a big disapointment in what spacehey turned. 

Conclusion: 

spacehey was able to restore the old style/design from myspace , but one thing it was not able (Restoring the old userbase) , most part of people there add or follow others randomly without none objective . users on spacehey does not even focus into built a friendship or simply interact , thats what makes it more boring , the unique thing that saves it its profile customization , but the community spirit there its not available yet .

the way i use spacehey is more outside of dms

my dms are only open to people who NEED to talk outside of bulletins or who don't just add me on tumblr or insta or discord or something :P

my profile is private and i just don't add anyone i ahven't already talked to in forums or bulletins UNLESS i read their profile and see that they are active on spachey!

if they don't make blog posts, forum posts, didn't add me from a group intro... and have 500+ friends??? im not accepting their request. i honestly might even block them.

spachey is super active once you start being active on group bulletin boards and forums or blogs instead of adding people to talk to in dms.

youre for sure not the only one annoyed with "friend collectors"

but thats my advice and what worked for me finding a more active spacehey. the take away lesson is to lead by example. and continue to drop people who expect you to do all the work, they are lost on spachey if they think "doing it correctly" is having 300+ friends (who spam your personal bulletin boards and don't contribute to convos)

[edit:]

INTERNET SAFETY TIP!! for anyone passing by this forum, not adding people you don't recognize will help prevent friend collectors from filling up your friend list. don't add people you don't know especially if youre a teen but this goes for adults sometimes too (femmes know what i mean)! if someone rushes straight to your dms instead doing basic shit like commenting on your bulletin boards or blogs or forum posts, or sharing any friends with you... that's a HUGE RED FLAG. they don't want to be friends with you! its better to take a chance on meeting someone new who your friends would vouch for! :3 trust ur real friends dude friend circles protect you!

Monkey's Paw curls it's finger as people begin to let their inner
thoughts out by becoming friends with random profiles just to talk shit
about them and their profiles in DMs.

Joke aside, I think I live in a sweet spot right now, but I think I already
had many profiles abandoned already even from friends I know off
platform. Even then, I wouldn't be too sad if I don't get any more than I
got for a while.

Noooo, Benji! What have you done!?

In all seriousness, same here

Agreed. 

The only reason I don't really Add/Instant message anyone here is
because I feel like I come off as a massive cunt, when in reality i just hate small talk.

Plus, i haven't really found anyone who has the same interests as i do, so i don't really feel like I've "found my people" yet, yanno?

FORRREEEALLL WHY IS THIS PLACE SO DEAD

naah i think ppl don't remember how to use forums. plain as. im learning to use forums again and i think the biggest thing is just simply being there; u gotta talk and u gotta reply. you can lurk and acknowledge that you arent really contributing to the site growing. it'll be a group effort to make it come back but dont give up just keep posting even if its for you
