Well do you think Gamespot will end? Like either the site goes down forever or no one visits the fourms. I think it won't because with video games and tech question always poping up the site won't die. Well what do you think?

I really don't know unless in the future the active type of users get banned from the site... but who knows it probably won't ever die..

Depends if the more active users get banned and no new ones replace them...But then again, I've been a member for over 3 years now I think, and have seen many active users get banned and new ones replace them...so I don't see it happening in my lifetime.

Nope, Gametrailers is far more popular, mainly because it's better. But it will not die like most popular video game sites.

Not any time soon. There's still a need, still visitors, and still great content. So as long as the money is coming in still spent supporting the site it will be here.

I feel like it will, from the the few months I have been gone it feels like activity has become even lower. I used to spend hours on this site, posting in threads. Now it feels like only a few new threads every few hours.

That's not necessarily true. People will often stick with what is comfortable and familiar; they don't even bother to try alternatives.

tbh I like this avi better than the other one you had for Christmas :)

And there's rumor this year they will name the most intelligent award after you, since you've won so many already...

Its official, you are an OT legend now :D

:lol:

My MS Paint "skillz" aren't exactly the best. But come on - this one's at LEAST 83% less festive. It was last year that they named it the pianist award, and I assumed someone else was going to win. I was going to withdraw but didn't feel it would be necessary. This year, I will if the nomination round makes it look like I may win again. Frankly, the OTCars are much more fun when you don't know who will win. And I really like Gabu's idea of limiting a category to three wins, as I'm certainly not the only one who has held a monopoly on a single award for several consecutive OTCars.

look at other sites . back at myspace's prime, could anyone have fathomed that another site would come along and kill it (facebook) yahoo ruled search before facebook, and who knows bing might just take over top search from google sometime. ign is already a better site for reviews. and there are better offtopic forums elsewhere IMO.
