Cos it isn't.
Back when this first became popular, it had a lot more traffic than it does now.
4 members online and 9 guests. Shocking. Zoklet has 38 and 199.
Even after Zok called his population stupid, more people choose to go there.
You guys need to find an effective way to get more members, or this place is guna be so boring everyone just goes back to Zoklet. Which is kinda what has happened anyway.

This place has potential, I fear you're just not guna use it and never will.
If we had a new host, the side bar and tables and bull shit were fixed, the links were fixed I GUARNTEE this place would be hoppin. But as it stands right now it needs so much work, WTF have you guys been doin!?!? That's not important, shit needs to get done now, that's most people's bitches 'you fix this here and that there and it was quicker I'd come'.
This site has progressed SO unbelievably little since I first came here.
If anything more things have been taken away/broken/been made worse.
Can you list those things please?
I would like to see the list.
You guys should know it didn't really help when users came here and vowed to help and when we had the platform ready everyone just left. And now we're back again. And samething will happen. BUT it's not like we're trying out best to get you guys to stick.
Also, OP, tell us what we should do about this traffic problem.
Btw I am waiting for Hellish to come online so I can give clover the required files he needs access too.
When it comes to stability, we had to remove certain features just to prevent some this site from becoming more slow. We're moving to another new host soon.
User CP still not fixed, threads show up even when no new posts have been made.
The aforementioned drop down list.
Even less traffic than before.
We didn't have a dedicated coder who would help us out. Clover is back and he willing to help. He already given access to other parts. Right now I am waiting for Hellish to give him files. If you're referring to the website layout, we did what we could. Again, I manage the forums not the website. I don't have access to website source code. I can only manage forum.
The drop down and other features were removed because our host couldn't handle the extra load. They will be back once we get a better host. It will be after Oct 8 2010.
Nope, we have steady supply of traffic. The recent downtime and site defacing forced us to take a step back and fix the issue. Once clover checks the code and we get some pen testing done, we will start linking Totse again. We already have a group on Reddit and other minor projects are under way.
We're just taking a minor break until we switch to new hosting. It seems this host can't handle large amount of traffic. The last time we got a hit on Reddit, Totse went down. We just can't afford that kind of down time .
If you want more information, check forum log and you will see what changes I made. [Help and Suggestion]. We were working on Joomla when we got hacked. We had to remove it and work on a workaround.
For sure lol! It's like a developer came in to fix it, broke it then said 'Ahhh fuck it I donno what the hell I'm doing...okay bye then' kinda made me lol hard, but no problems because I know what I'm doing. We'll get all the security holes fixed, tables fixed, everything FIXED. It might take a minute, come sometime November I know we'll be rockin.
Well I know that zoklet was drupal I believe, and a piece of shit at that. But you're right, I think they may have had a vbulletin too...not quite sure on that one, but you're right zoklet has sucked for way longer than just 2 years.
You only have more "members" because of the forced new accounts if you want to change your screen name.
As I say, 4 online members to Zoklets 38. That's poor. When I was first here it was about 50% of Zoklet. Now it's barely 10%
Also you spammed the fuck out of zoklet and many other places and yet you still have very few active members. You had about half the population of Zoklet willing to listen, and you didn't capitalise on it.
^This is actually true.
Reject we're not babies here. You came to Totse.info crying VIVA LA TOTSE and then ran off to Zoklet and never looked back and now you're back saying hey Totse didn't do shit?
I hate people who commit to something and then run off.
I can't say I trust Zoklet any more than I trust Totse after everybody lost 2 weeks of posts. This site initially spiked in activity before undergoing a significant decrease, but I think it's on the up again.
It will be if people actually decide to stick around this time.
Promises were made, and those were broken. I was promised a whole decent forum, with great new members, buzzing like the old totse. What it really was is a forum with about 7 active members just with the totse skin slapped on.
I'm no fool, Zoklet might be shit, but to date it's still miles ahead of here. And frankly I don't think you're ever going to make up the ground. If this place becomes better than Zoklet, it's more due to Zoklets demise than this places rise.
Prove me wrong.
No doubt about it. Check the Alexa trends, and hang around on the forum enough and you'll notice the gradual increase in activity. It's not much, but its a start.
Don't worry, the talent has arrived to make it happen. And zoklet doesn't have to come to a demise for this place to work, we'll just have to get an entirely new user base. Most people at zoklet (BUT NOT YOU :rolleyes:) are just faggots. Whiney bitch ass faggots at that.
We're not reaching that state of demise therefore does that make us better?
The reason zoklet is reaching that point is because of the internal bitching
that's going on there.
Zoklet needs to stop the internal verbal shit fest and pull it's shit together.
Or the house of cards will fold.
There are good members there which makes it hard to shit on the zoklet
community.
Prove you wrong?
Stick around and see.;)
Yeah, because the old totse had hundreds if not thousands of people on at the same time. Zoklet having 38 members online is shitty. 38 fucking members???? That in and of itself is failure after 2 years and being handed 3000 totseans.
People here live all over the place and post at different times. Aside from that, the site logs people out who are inactive, so there aren't a bunch of people idling being counted as being online either.
Then, at the bottom of the wiki on totse.com there was totse.info so I came here. At first I was all "yaay totse's back", then I was all "booo, this place is bunk", eventually I decided to throw down here, because it is the conflict that makes a good site. If you want a love fest, go somewhere else.
Did anyone else play "sim city1"? Sometimes you would do things that would make your population counter plummet, but if you played it good you could use the lack of people to improve things. Then it would build up again, and be better and more robust than before.
I agree this site needs new members, but it also needs to let the chaff blow away in the wind. This is not a competition, it is a construction project, made with pieces that seldom fit.
C/O
"give me liberty, or give me a good fuck, not necessarily in that order"
As I said before, totse.info used to be about 50% of Zoklets, now it's barely 10%. Not including the lurkers.
At least you guys have unwavering faith in this site, no matter how few of you post regularly.
PEEO is the most active forum on zoklet. I also like here that you can flame anyone and say whatever you want without getting banned.

I be IP banned so I had to find a proxy but that thread is why for right now the fact we dont have as many members as coklet dosnt bother me.
Because perfect = Emotionally unstable. x3
Nothing lasts, but nothing is lost, etc.
Fine to say if you're a philosophical hippy faggot. But if you're talking in a metaphorical sense, referring to the success of the site, my statement still stands true.
So in short, stfu.
It's a web forum, not a company :facepalm:
zoklet was a company according to zok:o
Maibee he shud declair bankrupsee! LOL!!1!!!!!11!!!11!11!!1!1!!1! :o:o:o:o:o
Out of curiosity, have you offered your services on this issue? I seem to remember you saying you had tech skills...? I also fully agree that this place has to be fixed and STABLE before it's going to get off the ground, the sooner that gets done the better because people are loosing in interest. I recently put the link in my location section on zoklet, and I support this place 100%, but since things have been broken and the site keeps going down I haven't been very motivated to contribute...
Dfg... you should PM me soon.
He was given access few days ago .
I agree with that to an extent, I started on totse back in 2002, and after about two years I was a moderator on the web forum, knew all the main posters, and looked forward to chatting with them. But as totse became more, and more popular the quality of the posts fell massively. In the end, one day I was that fed up I just stopped coming on. Got quite a lot of emails like where are are? Wtf? and that sort of thing, but I just didn’t want to be part of what totse had become anymore. I am only on here now because it’s a fresh start for a site that was once great, in my eyes became nothing, and is now starting a clean slate and could be great again. I think that’s why Jeff closed totse, what it was at the end in my eyes anyway wasent worth keeping going.
I think totes could be a great site to post at again, and it’s the people who are posting on here now who will make that happen.
