Nobody cares about forums anymore and GameFAQs has always shifted to older demographics, and is now primarily a 30+ demographic with a dying userbase because its purpose has been served and newer games do not need FAQs because they're too easy. --- Judge, Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

GRTooCool 07/04/18 10:09:04 PM #9:	It's not just Reddit, it's the social media stuff like Facebook (where people are in their own groups and whatnot). Less and less people visit forums in general. As I see the fall off from every forum I go... whether it's GameFAQs or sports teams I like. People like being in their own little bubble where people tend to agree with everything they say only. They don't want to argue or have a difference of opinion with people from message boards. But yeah, that number is depressing and it's not going up anymore in the future that's for sure. --- If you make an intelligent post, people tend to ignore it because they only respond to stupid.
