(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Over my time here at NGU, I've personally seen the good times, and the bad times here. I've seen the shoutbox go from 20 members active on average. To 50 on average, back to 10-20 active range. This has happened on section activity as well.

This may be a gaming forum, but on any forum General Discussion or misc. is that most popular, and most active section. Because people are different, not everyone likes cod, or the same consoles. But when you put a community into a general category you're going to get all different kind of things.

This section has all kinds of things. We're doing great on the General part. But this section fails horribly on the discussion area. I know I don't contribute as much as I'd like to the site, but I make an attempt when I'm on.
Firstly: The definition of Discussion
You must login or register to view this content.

I'm not trying to beat a dead horse here, this site still has a large community. There is potential here. The community just has to learn to not flame each other non stop. Get a long, you're all here because you have similar interests. GAMING! The synonyms of Discussion are as followed You must login or register to view this content. people are going to disagree on things, that's why we debate it, or argue over it. Not turn it into a "reputation war"

Secondly: What I mean by discussion
Threads that no matter the content, can keep getting talked about. I'm pretty well known here, and it's not for modding. I hangout in forum help, and GD. These are my example threads of what I post.
Look this thread has been open for a short time and already a lot of replies.

These are random things, but stuff that can be talked about. That's all we need in this section. Please do your part, if you come here everyday, don't just browse. Post, be a contributing member. Start conversations with people, that's key!

Thanks.
Everyone who gives a shit about NGU
