When the original zone first went down I put forth the idea of moving to reddit, and actually created r/philzone just for fun and to see if there was any interest.
I really appreciate what judit et. all has put together for us here, and hope my criticisms in other threads are not construed as being ungrateful, but there really is a bigger issue at hand than being able to post nasty images, insults and shitposts with impunity, and that is the dwindling membership and participation here on the zone.
For quite some time now, starting on the old zone, membership has been closed, and membership continues to be closed. It took quite a long time just to get myself an account a month or two ago, let alone the issue of getting new members on board.
Reddit is a HUGE community that has dedicated subs for the GD, phish, jazz, etc etc and a long history of the same sort of "edge" that many people seem to value from the old zone. It is full of hundreds of people that have the same/similar interests and taste in music. A goldmine of possible new members. In the modern GD community the philzone is pretty well known, and if we had a sub with some decent content and name dropped in in the right threads and subs, we could easily bring in some new blood.
atiex has shown some interest in turning r/philzone into a real thing. I dont see it as an "alternative" or something in opposition to viva, but as a simple, easy and free way of breathing some new life into a really beautiful old community of music lovers.
The wide open and vast structure of reddit, plus the up/down vote system would pretty much negate the serious trolls, and any hacking or whatever that happens would not be our problem, it would be dealt with by a multimillion dollar social media company that actually has the time, skill and money to prevent hacks and account stealing, while membership remains open.
We need some st mark ballad of fat donna kinda stuff over there, and some of our serious music nerds to get some good discussions going, and for the first time in a very long time, we could actually GROW the philzone community, and bring in new ideas and content, instead of allowing it to stagnate on a closed forum. Again, this would not be an alternative to viva, but an addition.
If we get new members of the philzone subreddit that current members of viva take a liking to, we could even bring new, vetted members onto viva and grow the membership here.
With the decline of phil's music in the past few years, plus the closed membership here and on the old zone, we have taken a serious hit...I used to not even be able to keep up with all the new posts, even when checking the zone multiple times a day. Now, even if I check only once a day, there are only 10-15 threads with new posts and most of those only contain a small handful of new posts.
I don't know if i can see a closed philzone staying alive for more than another few years. People will lose interest in the zone, people will lose interest in Phil, and people will be banned.
At a certain point, a forum's membership will shrink to a size where its current users will all slowly stop coming because of a lack of new posts/content. This is a much higher number than most people would think it is. Once there are only 5-10 threads with new posts per day, many people will stop checking it daily, which will result in even less new posts. People will then get out of the habit of checking the philzone, and the frequency of their visits might fall down to weekly. The less people we have, the less new content is posted, and that loops back around like a snake eating itself and causes even more members to stop visiting the zone. Its a viscious cycle that I have seen swallow many message boards, and that is the direction the zone is heading if we do not find a way to attract and bring in new members.
