How is GT Doing?

Is GT still a fun forum to frequent?

Do we have an adequate amount of new threads?

Are there any improvements that you would like to see?

Needs more explosions.

Is this an Earl inspired thread? Funny you should ask though, because I was just suggesting to BaB that he should tell you to send one of those mass mails (and I know you can do it) to every registered user. You know, a friendly, "hey, person who used to go to GT but doesn't anymore, you should come back because we have a Pokemon tournament and thread about if your penis has a sweater or not."

Anyway I think GT is a little slow, but it's understandable with finals and all. It's the con to a small, nice community. The pros are many though like more personal threads and better discussion.

I like how GT has opened up the discussion though and laid of some of the censorship. Back in the day this place was kinda anal (like when it first opened).

I think we need a Facebook-esque "what are you doing right now, and while you're at it, post a few hundred pictures of yourself drunk, and making some pseudo-awesome faces" thing. And a friends list so we can see how many female friends we have to show off to each other.

Whew, glad I got that off my chest. And yes, I do use Facebook, for those wondering..

I probably spend half an hour (while multitasking) on GT every day. Yesterday I told a guy this was the only forum I visit because of the people/past/etc. I don't really have anything important to discuss.

TheGame · 04-23-2009, 05:00 PM

I have a newer job where I have more free time to come here. Though I just lurk and never really reply to anything these days. lol

I can't really speak for how fast the forum is moving, but I'd assume kind of slowish.

I sort of wish we had a front page for editorials and some news, but that will probably never happen. :\

Yeah, I recall. News would probably be pointless since it's already readily available so many other places.

I also want that lame DDR-ish game back in the arcade...it was the only one I was really good at.

TheGame · 04-23-2009, 05:57 PM

I love the arcade here, best way to kill time when I'm getting no emails at work lol

I feel like GT is doing alright. It's never been the most active forum, but I actually think the last 6 months have been way better than some other stretches that I can remember. I dunno, everyone gets along for the most part here and I've been here long enough that it's comforting.

It will be interesting to see if we're all still here in our 40's. Besides Professor of course, he's almost there already.
