Why is GameSpot such a dead website with no one on the forums?

Seriously. it's like there's no one here.

Why aren't there more people talking and conversing and typing and debating on this forum?

I can't tell if you're serious or not.

As compared to what exactly?

What?!@

You lie.

I agree fully, enthusiastically, and without question.

It does get slow sometimes. I try not to get in the political discussions becase it's impossible to argue when there might be a mod with an opposing political view hovering over you shoulder.herpderp9000

Oh really? Other than the homosexuals threads, religions topics, does any topic make it to at least 10 posts? 20? 30?

There is no discussion here. And the Prop 8 topic just hurts your case because everyone is just spouting their own opinion without taking a moment to consider the other guy's view; just always on the offensive.

What would you like to discuss? I think I made a knees and elbow thread a few days back got a few post.

Half of them are banned. Half of them found social lives. The other 20% just lurk.the_foreign_guy

I actually don't notice as much religion threads now as there were back in the day. But otherwise you're kinda right. There are plenty of topics that do reach at the very least 20-30 posts, but even less that would reach much much higher amounts. Usually a thread will reach huge posts is either by turning into another roll call, dealing with user popularity or deal with politics and turn into a ":roll:" and ":|" fest, and of course there's girl help threads!

Gamespot (OT atleast) is active, it just has activity in more areas than others. Many game specific forums seem to be inactive, with the exception of System Wars and to a much lesser degree GGD maybe, I don't know...

Do I look like the Gamespot mother!!? lol. Foxi911

At least someone sees it. The system specific boards like PSP are rarely visited. System Wars is a horrible cesspool of people arguing over... I mean it's just, not enjoyable to be there and see all the bashing and comments made.

I can understand some rivalry like wanting the PS3 to have a great exclusive or the 360 to have extra online features, but the stuff on that forum... I don't see how any veteran high leveled GameSpotters would want to be there.

Then here you can just see the topics and there are not nearly enough posts for a topic.

You're a dead website :evil:

You can't be serious... the forums here are very active. :|

i hope your joking.

Tc wins. This website is dead, I think all of us have to face the fact and realize that this place is dead.

And that's not even starting with the whole YLYL things...

GameSpot's good points are fairly obvious and don't need to be said, like the moderators keeping out all the bad people who needlessly insult others, "hot female" threads that objectify women, random insanity that may get thrown around, and other stuff.

But you guys are just avoiding the topic at hand by making quips since it's fairly fricking obvious the lack of people on this site.

Now granted, I'm all for people going out and having a life, but the fact is they're just going on to other websites, ones that don't have as well positioned forums as GameSpot.

it's not dead, myspace is dead, it's just not that much going on right now, i mean basically we have been talking about BP forever and that's kinda getting old, really and why pick at a presidential change i mean really all you can talk about is the SB 1070 and Prop 8 right now and that's not cool, i remember when the MOds were a bit more right than now
