In the early days, the pomp and circumstance of the forum under the banyan tree was not inferior to that of cats. Why did it decay in the end? Not to mention the end of the world, the editorial team of hundreds of people in Maopu Wuhan ensured the super high content and quality of the Maopu Forum at that time. From this, it can be seen that how can the content produced by pure users under the banyan tree be resisted?

The reason for the decline of the Banyan Forum, based on Yuan Qiuhua's personal experience, believes that it loses in two points: experience and operation. The experience of the forum under the banyan tree has been like a day for several years, in the end of the world, cat pounce, including Baidu Tieba, when it grows wildly, if you don't advance under the banyan tree, you will retreat, and the loss of users is normal. In 04, the long-term community had a collective march into Douban. At that time, Douban was really immature and not easy to use, on the other hand, now people are doing it well, and how many people are vying to get it. Reading is paying, and some people are willing to pay out of their own pockets.

In terms of operation, the forum under the banyan tree, there is almost no official operation, the user entry threshold is very high, pure readers are not good, if it is a writer, it is also required to ensure quality and quantity, it is best to win the outstanding talent award, at least it is the show talent selected by the station, lifting people, jinshi, champion. And after logging in, it's hard to find the entrance to the forum, so she looks for it: My god, where are you sleeping with a cat? Holding a pig's head, she can't find the temple door, she can't find the door on the page, so she asks for help from the online chat that has entered the house: Sister Tianxian, sister can't find the door, wow, sister fell into a black hole, wow, sister can't go back to home, save sister!

Although there have been improvements after the revision, it is too late, who is willing to be like a dementia and can't find a home every day? Whether it is Maopu or Tianya, it is not won by experience, operation is the king of the growth of the forum. The early business model under the banyan tree was to train authors online and publish offline. But because the whole profit was not good, the scale could not be supported, and finally it was sold to Bertelsmann. As a commercial profit organization in the book industry, Bertelsmann learned from the past and simply started killing chickens and eggs after taking over. In 2005, "Under the Banyan Tree" formed a strategic alliance with Peking University Founder and launched the CEB e-book, which directly allows users to buy and read the text. As a result, the user didn't buy it, the author was unhappy, both sides were offended, and they all found another way, the network was broken, the atmosphere was broken, and the entire website was paralyzed.

Lao Bei neither respects the author nor the reader, he is too eager for quick success, and it is said that the good thing is that the development strategy is advanced, and the bad thing is that he did not do a good job of market research. After the revision in 04, the official mechanism was reformed into paid reading, which took up most of the space, and the community forum was marginalized, unable to attract new forces, and gradually shrunk, and later it closed down and disappeared. Yuan Qiuhua speculated that Lao Bei just read the publication records of the 70th generation of writers and the fan group of the resident authors at that time, so he rashly thought that e-reading could be implemented. As everyone knows, because there are too many sections on the website, the authors who engage in serialization are more mainly to attract fans for their paper books, rather than to play a substantive role in the promotion of the website. Later, these people went to Sina Blog and Douban, etc., and only took away the fans but did not lose them. The cultivation of die-hard fans plays a major role, reflecting the cohesion of the complex forum and strengthening the "sense of participation" of the irrigators, not to mention the sense of achievement brought by the author's "recognition" and "attention". In 05, there was no down-to-earth forum on the homepage, and later the student club was promoted, but this discerning person saw that it was a method of drawing money. She has been in charge of the editors and commentaries of the club, and she will more or less understand how the "list" is typed. Posts all rely on the number of clicks and comments, and at that time, there was basically no such thing as "water army" on the Internet, and it really relied on fans. How can a blind man walk in the dark at night, so blind, how can he keep the author and readers?

Yuan Qiuhua left under the banyan tree because of a plagiarism incident. She wrote an experimental essay with more than 5,000 words in the style of a novel, which was published in a well-known magazine. Two months later, she found that she had been plagiarized under the banyan tree, and the copying was not clever, although the genre was changed from prose to fiction, and the names of people and places were also changed, but the family background of the characters, the causes and consequences of the events, the supplements after the end, and the --- foreign languages have not changed, and even the characteristics of the times, the content of the dialogue, and the narrative style are exactly the same. If you want to imitate, you can follow the cat and draw the tiger, you can fill the old bottle with new wine, but it is not 85% of the text that is carried word for word. If we want to say that the experience is similar, it is purely a coincidence, the author of the story, the preference for rebuking words and sentences, the suppression of emotions, and the refinement of cultural style, can it be cloned? Even if you do some surgery to increase, decrease, compress, refine and sublimate, and then show up after a makeover, it can be regarded as a deliberate effort, but it is just that. If you want to write by yourself, you have to go to work during the day, and only when you have time at night, you can basically start writing after ten o'clock, and then you just want to break your head, scratch your ears and scratch your cheeks, like this, you have hands and brains, and you can't copy, paste, and upload without moving, isn't it a big irony?

At that time, she complained to the customer service under the banyan tree, and provided a printout, magazine, and magazine address, and the phone number of the editor-in-chief. However, the telephone customer service was sneering, saying that this kind of small magazine is not enough to corroborate, and the printed manuscript can also be copied, and the world's articles are copied, and you can copy the ancients if you don't copy the present. And even the text has to be copied, if you don't copy it, is it your own creation?

In the face of the quibble refutation, Yuan Qiuhua was so angry that he couldn't speak. She called again, and they had one attitude, there was no way to deal with it, and they changed a few customer service and contacted them, all saying that there was no way, impossible, and the so-called company regulations. Later, she hung up the phone without waiting for the complaint to finish the problem, and no one answered when she called again.

When I encounter a layman who does not study literature, only engages in business, is unreasonable, and only talks about money, he does not care, but he is like a stab in the throat. She posted on the forum and said this, but she was very bored and wanted to withdraw from the meeting, so she quit.

The stray cat said: If someone can copy it, it means that you write well, and I don't have a chance to be copied.

Saibei's roaring wolf said: This kind of scumbag, don't pay attention to it. Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest, when piracy is dead, readers will vote with money. Those who survive are naturally boutiques, it's as simple as that. But in the overall market, piracy is dead, online articles will become more and more prosperous, and the quality will continue to improve.

The stubborn ear said: It is better to ask and see if we can give you some other compensation! The problem must be solved, not angry!

The fish that flew ashore said: I advise you not to go, you stay here for the sake of the words here, and nothing else. Pay attention to it in the future and read the rules clearly. The saddest thing is to leave someone, and you must be a little reluctant. Besides, in this society, everyone only cares about themselves, and they don't think about other people's feelings at all, even if you leave, it's just that you are unhappy, and others don't care. So there's no need to be upset about something, it's not worth it. How to do it, how to do it, that's it.

At this point, Yuan Qiuhua completely stayed away from the banyan tree and switched to another literary website. So much so that later, an offline publisher under the banyan tree contacted her and wanted to help her publish a book, but she refused.
