When in the Course of a websites events...

It just doesn't feel the same, period. One main reason was back in Ndose or whatever, were we still thinking about Project Dolphin? Or was GCN allready announced? Because I remember all the speculation and opinions on Dolphin is why I posted and read the forums.

I only posted in the Dolphin forum at Ndose, and I only had like 50 odd posts. Then when GameTavern opened up, I still did not post much in the General forum.... But then I picked up the pace at some point, lol.

Anyways... There are too many new people, and I think all the members are getting too old to do this, lol. I mean, a lot of us are busy with school, and university is coming up for many of us too. Different priorities perhaps is the reason why I don't find this forum as enjoyable as it once was.

Still a great site though. Just not as "close" of a community as it once was.

I remember back at NDose that Dolphin was still being speculated about and the 'Cube was announced as NDose was still running back then.

I too only had 50 or so posts before NDose went down and I made my choice to go with GT. Most people don't know who I was back at NDose, but thats understandable

Oh, I also liked to make fun of Jonbo and that other guy... But then it just got old, lol. That was fun.

I miss Joiess the ass hole. Well not really, but seirously a lot of people didnt like you much. Youve seemed to have gotten better the last few months though. Anyways, I'll admit it isnt quite like it used to be. I agree with Joiess when he says its because weve all gotten older and moved on to different things. Hopefully things will pick up when we really start hearing concrete details about the next generation. But I do kinda miss not having a homepage anymore. Yea, definatley miss that for sure.

People really didn't like me? Lol... its just a videogame forum, haha.

And just remember Jason, I was the only one who voted for you in Survivor back when I participated in it.

That's what we need! Another Survivor! Oh wait.. we just had one.

My bad.

It's hard to put my finger on it, but what's already been stated in this thread is probably true... A lot of the 'old' regulars (dating back from atleast N'dose) have either left or just aren't posting as much. I guess some of us have just had a few, 'big' changes in our lives in the past few years, and managing time has become alot more important.

Sorry to butt my face into here. But I understand what you're talking about (though not related to GT in any way). A lot of the reason is mystery. You don't know the people. and you don't quite act yourself. The group as a whole experiences new things.

But, after a point... everyone is talking on AIM and there's no more mystery. You know who you like, and you know who you dislike. Eventually, it's just news and newbs.

Then again... there is one upside for you guys. One sweet and simple sentence that will set you apart from even the most pseudo-elitist newbs out there:

"I was at GT before it went pop"

I on the other hand, still consider myself an SJP faithful. GT's a side gig.

I dunno, it always seems the same to me. I've been at N-Dose/GT for over three years now, but I was never terribly, terribly involved in anything. I usually come to the site every day, but only occasionally do I feel like posting about it, hence the somewhat low post count. Gametavern is an online community and nothing more...It's hard for me to say that anything is better or worse, because I don't really have a personal connection with anyone here, don't talk to people on AIM or anything. I still have fun posting my opinions here on certain things and probably will for a while, despite changes of people and such. Getting older could have something to do with it, I know that sometimes it feels a bit strange to be posting here when I'm a legal adult, but there are plenty of other's my age and older, so meh.

I agree that the spculation and youth of it is gone, but, I do know, any other ideas?
