It's summer and its nice out.

Don't hate on people for actually having lives.

Was that too harsh?

Because the weather is pleasant. Seriously, we're getting under 1,000 people on Saturday nights. They must be temporarily infected with the T-virus or something, I guess.

it's double egded, i think. summer means more people go on vacation, so they're not on gamespot. and then the people that are still at work are picking up the slack, so they have less time to be on Video Game Forums.

or it could be that the review of Final Fantasy Tactics that just came out is scaring everyone off.

maybe because of the technical issues or yea, more people are outside because its summer. But I can also be on GS while im out with my phone (has full keyboard for typing). But yea, i doubt anyone spends all day in the house 2 days straight while posting on GS during the summer.

You should track users online at a certain time of the day every day and see which days have the most users.

Ya, well I haven't been on for a few days because of work, and because it's been nice out. I'm sure others are doing the same.

When were these "good old days" and why did it stop?

From 2003-2005 for me. I remember seeing 9000+ users online then. Now I rarely see that.

Why did it stop? It didn't have to, but Cnet/Gamespot ended it, imo.

We don't have users like Ruby Knight anymore, that's the other thing. Most users can't even form an identity these days.

Unless they're fighting zombies on top of the Empire State Building, I don't see how that's possible.

Most registered users don't come here for the gaming news, they come here for the forums, and last I checked, this place is credible, baby.

On a average Gamespot users online now was about 8,000 and for the past few days i have noticed that it went down hard and on average now a days it only 2000 online users now and why is that? mohan88

Because Gamespot forums are quickly decreasing in quality. The past month or so, it has been dead around here, full of crappy topics. At first, i thought it might have been down to the GTA IV release, but its still bad now. Plus more and more people are not coming on since they are annoyed with the direction in which the boards are moving -You cannot post much anymore without being modded for some reason or another.
