RIP PICHU.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Am I the only one getting this feeling that the forum has been feeling somewhat dead in the last couple of months, it has those days where a lot of people are on and then its having those periods of time where there is, what it seems, no real activity....

(Also, to kinda prove my point, I doubt that by Friday this thread will have 30+ comments from different individuals telling me I am right or wrong).

I won't include myself. This is pretty good but I can tell you, about half the people here are people who are constantly on and I only set the bar 1/3 higher than the amount shown here. This is just a little test myself and for everyone else. I don't want to see another forum die, honestly I like NGU too much, although I don't agree with everything it does, it's a great forum. The moment a forum shows that it is dying, the chances of a full recovery is left up to chance, as time passes and new games are released, if people notice that the activity on a forum is decreasing, their incentive to join or remain active is less.

That is bad...

I'm not trying to be mean but, we have Media Team and yet I don't really see a whole lot of "Media" being passed on through the site, hell the video on the forum has remained the same for some time. I thought we were going to have videos every week, even one video a week shows life. The news, I hate to say it but "Link -> Find it here" and then lead us away from the thread is something I hate. I thought that Outsider had given the ability to link that thread with the CMS News Page so we can comment here and it shows up there?

It doesn't look too great when we do that.

Programming tutorial and Gaming tutorials:

I see some life in the gaming tutorials, I think if there was a submission feature for users to submit where the Media Team who specializes in gaming tutorials can look and review would be fantastic.

Programming Tutorial = Blow. Just admit it, no new content is really ever posted, not even snippets.

Yea, I've added to this but it is how I feel...

Maybe cause it's near the end of the school year and exams probably prevent people from checking or something... Just what I think.

Yup .. But I think that's due to not being able to play new games on Ps3 unless you have True blue , A lot more members have or are figuring out that MW3 is really Mw2.5 , The Battlefield community isn't as big or we would have more Threads , Premium section is not worth being called Premium and last but not least since this is really a Cod Forum , these are the slow months , wait til more info on Cod gets released and you will see more activity on the Forum.

Problem rule #16?
Because end of school year :l Remember the general age group of this site is pretty young. I got accepted to a university already so I am on here instead of stressing/studying my ass off. Thats not the case for alot of people though.

It has been dead to me ever since the days of jailbreaking and modding call of duty got harder. That's what drew me to the forum and kept me active for a long time. But now there isn't as much. Sure, there are great threads and a great community. But the quantity is low.

Well, people are getting older, not playing video games, end of the school year, people are going to college, CoD isn't as fun as it use to be, the ps3 hacking scene is moving slowly, people actually became more social outside of the internet migh be reasons why this forum isn't as active as it use to be.
