jacobcarson877 440 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 -Especially when recruitment is dry, I swear 80% of new members are gone by the time anyone even sees they joined. -I can't imagine the nightmare it would be to program a "tutorial" but you're so right that would be amazing. -I know there's been talk of a SHL-esque video walkthrough series, but with valid concerns of "who the heck is going to keep it up to date" and tbh I wouldn't want to but someone should. -We also need a "You have to understand the slightest bit about the sim engine and the attributes" before you're allowed to apply TPE. -god i'm a waiver addict -I love that you still giggle about Poopy Peepants -The player creation and welcome messages are... fine ..., but give you no real reason to read them, although the people who do get off to a WAY better start - sexy anime tfong waifu? (sorry) - One decent thing would be an applying TPE lock until you accept a contract? idk probably a nightmare to implement Thunder and JardyB10 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might not need to be that complex. Even something as simple as a pop-up after creating a player (similar to a Welfare or PF one) that's like, "Good job! Now to get on a team, find your player thread at https://vhlforum.com/forum/125-create-a-player/ and choose an offer to accept (Note: Many GMs will reply within minutes, but it could be a few hours before you receive your first offer. No stress bru!)" 13 minutes ago, jacobcarson877 said: -I know there's been talk of a SHL-esque video walkthrough series, but with valid concerns of "who the heck is going to keep it up to date" and tbh I wouldn't want to but someone should. Yeah this might be good, but it would need to be both very visible and VERY concise. Maybe a 1-2 minute "Quick start guide" or something, and it can be @Hogan speed-running character creation or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbithan 26 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 This was a great listen, Jardy! As a new member, I can definitely understand that the retention rate is low because people have no idea what the forum is or what they’re doing. I had read the rules and learned what the VHL was truly about before creating my account and everything, so I don’t think I was too clueless at least? But having a tutorial to help out recruits would definitely be something to consider, for sure, to make it easier for everyone.
