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

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.

You do realize that there's boards other than OT, right? All the insulting usually goes on in OT, then there are all the other boards and Unions with their own boards that are extremely active without insulting

It really depends on what you compare it to. Compared to gamefaqs this is the slowest place I'v ever been. If left the board for a second the entire first page was now the third. Its not too bad though. The perks make it better.

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

Seriously nobody uses myspace anymore haha.

[QUOTE="Mr_Anderson1017"]I think this site's been going downhill since they canned Gertsmannmeconate

i usually lurk till something interesting is talked about which is rarely for me.

[QUOTE="eccentric_view"]

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.

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...

yeah it just depends on what is going on, especially for the other threads. the system specific ones use to be way more active when they were new, and especially when they weren't actually out yet. wait until the next gen of systems coem out, there will be tons of people in the forums for them talking about it and asking questions and such.

As for OT, it really just depends, sometimes its crazy in here, others its really laid back.

I have no idea what's going on here.

I feel like I'm in The Twilight Zone.

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

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