so from this weeks Sunday meeting, i had an interesting discussion about what Couchers should do to keep people who are mainly surfers (who usually only use the website when they travel) to keep them incentivised to using the platform even when they’re not travelling, possibly through local or global events which would be displayed on the main website, the more a person uses the website for the community the more likely they are to convert to hosting aswell and become a cult member like the rest of us : P that or become more active in events or sharing knowledge on Places pages
CS has always had tons and tons of different groups in their forums, but never had a good way to sort them, making it finding an interesting topic all the more hard (and most people are clustered in the largest groups as they are easiest to find), having groups would definetly be a good incentive for a returning surfer
there’s probably other ways to improve the site, i just don’t think it’s good for the website if it’s a cross between people who host and those that surf with no inbetween to keep the surfers coming back
i was gonna make a new topic but thanks to the topic system the forum suggested me this topic, which is what i wanted to write about
