Trivia suggestions

Sorry i posted a lot of messages on the forum so maybe others dont see your forum post anymore so i write a message now to put it high again in the forum! 🙂 And I think maybe @Etienne knows more about it.

I like the Trivia a lot but sometimes it is very difficult but it is still always fun. When we do the trivia test on school i make the questions with a friend and that is very fun but also VERY chaos sometimes because of the timer!! 😛

But i think the Trivia Bot is the smartest member now of PPG!! 🤖🧑‍🎓🧑‍🎓 Sorry that is a joke!! 😛

Hi Remus, good to see you around 🙂. All the suggestions you're sharing actually are/were on the table, the current format being an experiment. Currently only 20-25 people engage with it each day, which is okay but still a small minority of active users. I'd love to spend more energy into it but I also need to avoid over investing in something most users care little about (understandably so, I mean this is a penpal website, not a trivia/gaming platform).

Timing and general stats are definitely things I want to add down the road (many can be generated retroactively, too). I'm hoping showing some basic metrics can increase engagement, especially if advertised somewhere on the dashboard or something for those who never venture into the forum (or the chatroom, which again the vast majority of people don't care about).

Long story short, yes to your suggestions, and/but I need to increase engagement and somehow have as many people as possible include trivia into their daily routine to make this feature a success (making the questions/answers multilingual might also help significantly, some people have complained it's English only and feel left out). Improvements to be added sometime before the end of the year🤞️

It's a real shame that the forum is a world separate from the site, a parallel universe.

I don't know, the fact that its size is manageable is an opportunity for active users to be more familiar with one another. There are large forums out there where so many posts get sent every hour that I feel like you basically lose all sense of belonging, maybe it's just my feeling ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have signed up and unsubscribed from the site at least four times. I couldn't find anyone to communicate with. Today I'm just here for the forum. It allows to live a special experience: community pen friendship. But Trivia is too difficult 🤣😂

Bonjour @Etienne!! 🙂 What does it mean what you say that you lose all sense of belonging? I dont understand that part. 🙄🙄 And I think long forums with lot of posts are good because it the forum is very active and live. I know a lot of us try to also have a lot of other members on the forum like Roseee and Esma-Nur and Lorenzo and others. And sometimes that works and sometimes not but that is ok. And a lot of long forums have new topics like new questions or games or challenges so if people want they can also be in that forum very easy. 😊😊

And some people said to me with private chatting that they like to read the forums even if they dont write in it. And older members said the forums were in the past not so live so if we dont have forums with a lot of posts it will be again like that i think. So it is good everything is live and lot of things people can chat about on the forum. It is now like the chatroom but offline! 😛

Hi @Yue_, by other forums I mean other websites that have many many users. What you call "forum" is typically "topic" 😛

Oh ok i use forum always for here because that is easier!! 😃 But the forum here also goes very fast but I like that there are a lot of different topics so maybe everybody has one that they like!! 🥳🥳😊😊😇😇

Should we have a ranking update after every day instead or would that discourage members from playing when they know they don't have chances of winning the week anymore?!

It could discourage people from playing, but there could be hints including who's doing well so far or the average points per session I guess

Mister President @Etienne... this game is too difficult 🥴

I agree it's been pretty difficult lately. There are supposed to be 2 easy, 2 medium and 1 hard per session. But I feel like sometimes there are like 4 hard and 1 medium 😛. Maybe I can change it to 3 "easy" and 2 "medium" or something

Can we get something like this: We have a list of names and just @ ppl to remind them without letting any other comments like Mr. Remus did with you @Etienne, Sir.

Yes I want to implement something like this soon
