The majority of new members that we get now though are RUneScape players that make one or two posts and that's it. Though I don't blame 'em, since we don't have anything set up for RuneScape. They don't have a good reason to stay. CS is like one of those sites that has a lot of stuff to view, much not much reason to join up and stay except to post around. In those kind of sites, people like the things they see, if they see a forum they may register thinking it's cool, then they're already bored with it the next day. But with sites solidly related with a game, the people are still playing that game, so the site continues to keep hold on their interest. Then they end staying long enough in which they've come to love the place and want to stay, even if they lose interest in that game.
Site Upgraded!

We -DO- have things related to RS, when will people understand that UFF is part of CurvedSpace and SeeD so therefore we have stuff on RuneScape.

UFF (Winhill Garden) is as much a part of SeeD as any Garden. They and the RS faction arguably have more going on than any other faction. The events are in the Event Forum, and many RS players are obviously here. Understating activity, usually either because someone has lost associations with RS players they knew, haven't attended RS events, or have left the game, will unnecessarily push new members away. Why not show where the activity is or provide a little direction, as one should for any faction even if they don't play the game?
The purpose of factions is, after all, for them to be able to boost one another. It kinda defeats the purpose when the RS faction, the faction responsible for bringing about SeeD in the first place, is inhibited by what many have been telling new members lately.
