Meh I think perhaps the biggest deal with the forums is the fact that the most active users here talk to each other on a daily basis in some form, be it real life or over some Messenger. Back when I first started posting here, really no one had messenger systems. Hell it was all I could do to just surf through a few threads in 30 minutes on dial up, and if pictures were involved I was doing 1 thread an hour lol.

Since I've come back though, not only was I added to a bunch of people's various messenger lists, but also all of a sudden we weren't just typing, we were playing games together nightly.

I mean I think that sort of killed a lot of it. Why post in threads when pretty much every user talked about the same thing on MSN an hour ago?

Also with the user made threads about games... At what point does it matter when there are websites that not only do what you want to accomplish in threads like that, but also do it better.

Example: The thread I made on games for the first 3 months of this year, there were websites that not only did what I did for that thread, but did it faster and on January the 1st. The only difference is they didn't have the mostly sarcastic comments under each trailer. Well most of the sarcasm was directed at the Wii for having mostly shitty games.


With the adding of new users, well that's fine too. The only thing is, we have all been here a long time. I mean, some of us left, came back, got new names, but the game is still the same.

What really brought me into this was having a friend here first, and then when he posted up, I felt it was ok to respond, then gradually I ventured out into my own posting routine.

It's hard to start in on a new forum, and like has already been said, it's not very common anymore these days for people to post on a forum. They're still around, but it's just kinda moot. I mean I only post here basically. Dustloop.com occasionally because of guilty gear stuff.
