Welcome to JUICED - a general chat community that focuses on providing an enjoyable place to visit and participate in. JUICED was first established in early April as a closed community; meaning that registrations were only allowed for 24 hours once a month. The idea worked surprisingly well, though it tried up after a few months and we ultimately decided to open the community for good. After another few months and a unsuccessful merge, we're back, and this time, we're here to stay!

Guests who are not registered or logged in only have access to viewing the Community Information sector. To post, participate in the community and ultimately become a member of a fast-growing general chat forum, please take a few minutes to Register!

We should have an open community for at least one or two months Let me list out the positives and negatives and we will weigh them all. Others see fit to add to either side.

Closed Community - Positives:

1. It builds strong member ties

2. It gives them an exclusive feel

3. It keeps out spam bots.

Now, the negatives.

Closed Community - Negatives:

1. In the initial stages, leads to decreased activity.

2. Members might lose interest at the same old faces, some might want something new.

3.Very low flow of traffic, considering the opening hours, what members might be doing then, and how it would influence the registration percentage.

4. Leads to death, probably.

Now i think the negatives are larger. We have about 15 active members, with low registrations. Events can be conducted far more effectively when free registration is available. New faces brighten up, and possibly lead to betterment of the forum(or not). After we achieve good activity again, we could easily revert to closed community.

The only negative in an open community, as i see it, are spam bots but i have faith in our staff :P

I'll definitely see what the staff think, as well as other members stating what they think. It is possible we could try it. And see what benefits do come out of this change.

Alright :D And you might also want to consider de-pinning How Was Your Day and putting up the Famous Quotes thread since the former is almost inactive anyway.

Meh if we open for 1/2 months, then i'd rather we just stay that.

We can't just be opening and closing everytime we lose activity or the place gets boring.
