(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...

I know, I've been here for a little over a year, I used to be apart of a couple other forums before I joined racking up thousands of posts on each site but eventually being banned because of corrupt moderators. Aside from that, I noticed that NGU gets people to join who are great to talk to and then suddenly they all leave and the site gets left alone and it keeps having its ups and downs but the downs are becoming more and more common.

There are so many people that I miss talking to on here simply because they have left. Hell, there were a few mods that I absolutely loved talking to but they stepped down and basically don't really go on here at all anymore or got themselves banned because they don't care.



Yep, and some of the stuff posted here is paraphrased information of paraphrased information.



Right now it may be, but you look over the last couple of months, a thriving forum with a weeks worth of downtime would be back up to where it used to be within a month, a forum that appears to be dying is one that has less and less people coming on and posting/making new threads and if after a downtime, they are not coming back as much.

Yea, I understand it's summer and people want to have fun, as do I, but it doesn't stop me from coming on here and having a discussion, only problem is is that there really isn't a lot of people remaining active to have a discussion except those like myself and you moderators who come on here daily regardless.

Yea, I too have noticed that. What I have noticed as well is the fact that we have 200 people online, for a forum with the amount of sections as we have, there ought to be some here and there but it seems like a good portion of them are just lurking now taking in whatever they can.

It's something that I have been feeling about this site, it's a feeling that comes up and goes away and then comes up and goes away; when something is like that, you know something is wrong. I don't have any analytic stats to provide about the site and to trust other site monitors isn't the best thing to do because they are not monitoring a site 24/7, there are high and low times and they can't hit a site 240 times a day.

I try and post in threads that people make, I try my best to formulate a well constructed sentence that keeps a conversation going, if I can but I know something has possible life left in it, I generally quote someone to entice them to comment back; this brings back a flow of comments.

Yup its dying, Prem is dead as people buy prem to get the good stuff.. only to find out that all the good shit is locked somewhere else then Prem.. Im not talking about PP group..

Every forum feels dead lately, because people have moved on/grown up.. even i dont have the same feeling like i use to before + the games are much are harder to hack and mw2 coin drove ppl crazy.. i dont think any hack will be like that mw2 coin!

Yeah this is true, most thread now are new members looking to boost or asking for a 4.11 jb to be fair....

Yea, what I don't understand is why not just discuss more about games, tricks and such for the different games out there. What I don't like is that this site doesn't have discussions for newer games like Max Payne, Diablo 3 ect. I think if new sections were made for those games and more were to be added, it would drive people to discuss. Group the whole gaming together.

I honestly think something like that might actually help, it goes to show that even though this is a COD forum, people will grow tired of a series and people are getting tired of the COD series, they don't like it because there is no change, Battlefield set a new standard and it seems like COD just isn't able to match it.

More diversity in a gaming forum is better than one solid game subject to be based around because if that subject crashes, everything else falls.

What'd you mean activity is low?

There are 746 online right now and it's 3:18 in the UK (most of the kids are in school) and about 10 in the US.
