And people are trying to say that this site is not dying? I remember a few years ago, at the exact same time as it is today, there would be thousands of people on-line at all times of the day and the forums would actually be active. But, now with the over powered mods, terrible reviews, and glitchy forums this site has started to slide. Is anyone else sad to see how Gamespot, the once giant, has now become a sad and boring place?

They used to count the GameFAQs users as well, now that count only includes GameSpot users.

That's your answer. They count it differently. All the "OT is dying" threads are misinformed.

This. And the boards are as busy as they have ever been. and for all the moderation complaints,its actually looser than before. Omni-Slash was on last night,and as a former mod he could not believe some of the stuff he saw that was an instant moderation when he was here,which I know from recent usage is not ,at least I dont see it. the death of gamespot and OT is overexagerated.

Essentially the same, but people will always long for the 'better days'. The only major difference per the topic creator's complaints is the size of the review staff.

I would agree to a degree (that rhymes!). When you can count the full-time review staff on your fingers, maybe even on one hand, it's going to be tough to get things reviewed on time. They are doing their best, but they need more poeple, simple as that. I still miss Carrie Gouskos, Jeff, Alex, Greg, etc...But there is so much more to the site than that.

there were way more ppl on this site when i joined, some i only see when gaming ( friends list ), many of them refuse to come back for various reasons... racist, too many kids, mods abusing their power and fanboys. i can't say that i blame them but there are still a few cool dudes left. i started cutting back on my posting too because ppl seem to be stuck in a time loop with their redundant topics and uncontrollable urges to argue about nonsense.

Well, over the years, everything except the forum community has become terrible. The site itself is glitchy, reviews and reviewers have no personality, the rating system goes in increments of .5, and a lot of great users have left.

The only thing that has really changed is the number of funny posts in OT. I hate to bring it up again but its always religion, politics, or girl advice. Anyone who posts in SW knows that place has gone drastically down the tubes compared to OT though.

In the 5 years before I made my account I would read system wars occasionally, and there was always an interesting debate. Now.... I don't even know how to describe it :(

people complain. it's just what we do.

when people have it as good as most North American's do, we gotta find problems where there aren't any.

this website is much more active than most that I've been to... and it's porn free!

there are problems with GameSpot, mainly with reviews. But the forums are consistently a bright spot.

The bugs are pushing more folk away. Someday I think there will be more bugs on this site than users... if that isn't already the case >_>. Even if they did mess with how it counts, the boards are still slower than they used to be. Or at least have lost many of the fun folk that posted
