Have you noticed that you have been coming to AG not for the games anymore but for the forums... its really weird but i haven't played a game for a while
I've just reached a milestone of making 6 six decent castles in "Crush the Castle 2"! I'll say more like 60% gaming and 40% forum posting, it loses its novelty after awhile and you get bored and start gaming. Y'know?
I've played the games for over a year and just joined, so I'm still at about 75% games, but the forums are pretty awesome. If you took away merits, then there would probably be even LESS people playing the games. There is still a healthy gaming community, as you can tell from the diversity between folk in the forums and the ones commenting on games.
Is this where we sign up so we can get cu--oh wait we are just discussing it... Well... what do my stats tell you? Big time forum addict. If you multiply both my rates and comments by two and add them together they still wouldn't add up to my posts. XD
"If you took away merits, then there would probably be even LESS people playing the games."
You know I have only seen one person on here that has received a merit anyways. The majority of people are here for the games, period. That is how I found this site in the first place. It wasn't until after a while of playing I realized I should make an account. Then I played some more. Finally I decided I would check out what that community button was all about. It opened the world of AG forums for me. Now I check it out everyday. This place makes my work days go by so much smoother. So I wouldn't call myself a forum addict. But I would say AG is going to be my forum gateway drug.
