Yeah, I remember when we'd have at least 2 contests per year. We don't anymore. Additionally, traffic has gone down a lot. It just doesn't seem as active as it used to be on the boards. I'm guessing the popular topics thing on the home page is trying to get more posters.

Bacon, what the hell is going on?

It's not Bacon's choice, it's CNET's. They're going to be annual at this point, that's just how it is.

Actually, Bacon recently said traffic has increased for the past five years.

Unless you just meant Board 8's traffic, in which case you're right.

I meant non-game boards, yeah. I mostly hang out on Board 8 and the PC board, and both seem like they're less active. Board 8 has been worse with the decrease in activity, though.

But apparently, none of this new traffic visits social boards or votes in polls.

I would blame CBS more than CNET. It seems that since they bough CNET we've had fewer contests for some reason.

That's because the last actual contest was in 2010. And it's been over 2 years since the last actual contest that had something from the 90s or 80s in it.

That tells you how forgettable the Rivalry Rumble was. It still bugs me that Bacon was all "adding fictional characters who wants to see Jane Eyre in this thing" as if a site that's 95%+ male would ever nominate Jane Eyre into this contest, but for some reason, he thinks a contest featuring Ike/Black Knight vs. Conker/Great Mighty Poo was a good idea.

Actually, traffic hasn't been going down at all. I got this response from Bacon on Reddit:

http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/vc3jz/i_am_the_administrator_of_gamefaqscom_ama/c53aq06

Still waiting on Bacon to have the poll displayed on the main boards page, in addition to having the poll on the front page. This is what I mean: external image

If CBS is going to be running these from now on, we need to get Gus Johnson doing commentary on the matches.
