Board 8 > So I left this board for like 3-4 years. Why did this place slow down so much?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I remember there used to be like 50-60 posts a minute in it's prime, even during contest offseasons.

I don't think we ever averaged one post per second, but yeah, we're smaller and slower. B8 has never been that inviting, and shrinking the site's contest presence (as has been the case for almost two years) was bound to shrink us as well.

I'm still awesome though.

Still the number one reason for the success of the Internet.

I don't think I've ever seen such a concentration of rude people anywhere but on b8.

so yeah, no wonder we get no new folks!

HK-47: The very best there is when you absolutely positively have to kill every meatbag in the room. Accept no substitutes!

1)everyone else left as well
2)less contests to bring new people
3)people seem to prefer more modern message boards (not sure why...imageboards are literally the worst thing ever made)

You beat yourself up with your past. Don't blame yourself, blame the world. Blame God. Blame me.

Never underestimate the power of stupidity in numbers. ~War13104
Never stoop to the level of idiots. They will drag you down and beat you with experience.

GFQ's kills itself through various means, really. The fact that a game has a board for every different system is such a bad idea. They need to merge all the boards for a game into one board. Example: There are 7 different boards for Modern Warfare. Why? People get segregated, and it creates less conversation. It may have worked in the past, but this site needs to either adjust or become extinct.

tornadoman and tornadogirl like to kick box each other in my tornaolayzers and she dosent even mind getting hit

I've barely posted since 2009 and I still recognise almost everybody so the number of new people must be pretty small. A good few have left, most have just eased off the frequency they use here, I don't think it has anything to do with the site more the community just became stale with the same people together for a long time. There comes a point where you just don't want to read the same Ulti, vlado, ertyu, gay rights or atheism topics that have been on repeat for 9 years.

Though its amazing the community has stayed together this long, it was a community created so suddenly purely for events in 2002 and 2003, its amazing that it stuck so strong to survive independent of contests.

Pretty sure it just became an habit to come here.

I come here when the internet is boring me, I need game advice, or I should be doing work.
