My union has had an unstable history. For about the first year and a half it was up, few unions could really stand up to how active it was. It was kind of insane honestly, but nowadays it's a shell of its former self.

It has over 70,000 posts buried in its history... now we may get a few posts a day from its most dedicated members. Don't make me list the reasons for it... >_>

Ah, I understand your pain. My union also has a troubled past, and it has an uncertain future as well.

My union struggled a lot until StarCraft 2 was announced, now it goes in regular waves. Now it's at a high, during the summer... I expect it'll fall again in another month.

Hi my union is The Gamers Universal Union, at the moment it has been quiet active.

My union and some of the unions i am an officer in were inactive not long ago, but each of the unions had a few lonely posters, so what i did was get some people to get posting in my union and then got the lonely members from the other unions to join mine so that we could all get posting. This has seemed to work.

But i think another key factor in that i have activity is my Posting Competition, this is were i record how much each person posts in a month and then the person with the highest wins (they don't win anything its just for fun), course this caused a posting war and since August the 1st i have had nearly 700 posts compare to April,May,June and July which altogether have had less.

Course i bet that this active may not last in it may drop of again for sometime.

My union is very active now and it goes up every day. We keep getting members that join w/o an invite just because they saw the place in someone's sig, checked it out, saw how active it was, and joined. It's nice now since I can get off for a couple hours and when I get back, there's plenty of threads I have to check.

My union is one of the oldest and longest lasting communities on Gamespot. Off the Books was originally formed over 4 or 5 years ago as a User-Created Board by WittyGBanter, a former Gamespot moderator. There are many people over at my union that I can say that I've known for 3, 4, or even 5 years from back in these days. However, that original board for Off the Books along with every other board on Gamespot got wiped out when Gamespot switched their servers from Lithium.

So with a fresh start and a new Gamespot, we rebuilt another Off the Books user-created board, this time headed by Criminal5. This user-created board was one of the most active UCB's on Gamespot. Eventually Criminal5's paid subscription to Gamespot ran out, and he did not renew it. This left all of us at Off the Books in a bind since we could not update the banner, or various other tasks, because Criminal5 did not have full control of the board anymore since he wasn't a paid subscriber. With all of these problems, and with us being aware of the growing community of unions and all the features that unions had, we as a whole decided to move Off the Books from a user-created board to a union.

The Off the Books Union was finally formed by me on December 25, 2006 and has made a very successful transition from user-created board to union. We are one of the most active unions on Gamespot, have over 500 members, almost 60,000 posts, and we are currently the #1 most viewed union on all of Gamespot with over 950,000 union views.

I'm leader temporaly in the Council of Gamers Union Has a lot of members, but is inactive. Only 3 officers and 2 recruits are active. I want it to be an active one, but I don't know how. I'm planning on re-establish the Super Mario Galay Fans Union. It was vanished because the fourth charter memeber doesn;t accpted the invitation. Is a long story. But I'm planning to do a lot of activities, events,c hampionships, etc. on it to turn it into an active one

It usually gets like 600-700 on a normal day and 1000 on a good day. Then on our extremely good days we've gotten over 2000 posts.

My union's under a semi-intentional half-dead period right now... I've still got the same group of posters, but we're all getting increasingly busy. So we're not worrying about growth until a few months from now if/when we see some union enhancements.

EDIT: 32K posts?!? :shock:

My union is exactly the same way. That is why every other week I do a demotion warning update for the officers who are not active, then once they get demoted I promote one recruit, it has been working out good so far.

Thats because there are alot of unions like yours. You need a unique union if you want activity, one that that is the only one of its kind.

Yeah, what he said!

But I can give examples: like do maybe a debate union! I don't think there are any of those yet. You guys could debate everything from politics to system wars.
