Think about this. The number of members on AG is growing. There are about 500,000 people registered. Only a tiny part of them is active on the forums. But with the growing of inactive accounts will the number of the active users grow too. Yes, people are leaving AG too. But the growing of members is much faster. Now it is about 1000-2000 people active on the forums. In a few years maybe 1,000,000 users, 5000 of them active. And what if 100% of the users would be active? Total Chaos!!! What do you think?
I don't think there will be total chaos, i only think there will be more live in the forums And that's more fun as you see more topics appear, more answers coming if you need them etc
i also think there won't be a spamming chaos, if you meant that.. this is because the people who are here currently learn how to give the right posts and that they don't spam etc, in the future there will be more members, but also more who know how to do normal in forums, they can teach and flag the people who spam in the future.. I think the % of spammers won't increase, only the total amount of members
well as the amount of members increases, the % of them that are spammers will increase. As a response, the amount of moderators would increase. There are forums with millions of members, and they aren't out of control.

I mean, if the amount of members increases, it also means that the "normal" ones, so the ones who seriously post increase, so the % of spammers in total will be around the same, only the amount of spammers is bigger than it was
Not many people even know about the forums, I played on AG for 2 years and didn't even know they had any, it just has a small button that says 'community' I wouldn't think twice about clicking it with all those shiny game pictures everywhere xD
Only when I signed up I really looked around the site and got curious so clicked it.. most of the people signed up won't even see the forums I think.

I've suggested many times over that community should be changed to forums and it should have a place along with the other game sections at the top
Now it is about 1000-2000 people active on the forums
Your grossly over estimating.....
We have a really small forum here, you may not realize that. If you go into any large forum (where you pay money for member ship) You have An insane amount of active members. We have room to expand.

Definitely, but not many sites implicate changes in small chunks (don't know about AG, but many other sites don't), they let them accumulate and then change them in one big update, I guess this new AG 3.0 thing will come out and it will all be fixed, but there will be more new problems (there always are) ... then we need to wait for AG 4.0? Until they change those, It's a never ending circle
Nearly, or almost all of the 500,000+ users are ghost accounts.
There will never be a time when 100% of users are active. I'd like to see a day where 10% of all the users even came online.
Having 100 percent users on is like nearly impossible...
That's why they need updates and such. For example, AG 3.1.
Err I think you mean Ag version 3.0.
then we need to wait for AG 4.0?
It's way to early to think about AG version 4.0. Let's just wait to AG 3.0 at the the moment.

That can work. I still wouldn't know if the newbies would know what to do. Because most of them care about points and would just spam it.

Yes most of the AG members, play the games, rate them and comment on them.

I found out about the forums or community about a month after I joined. And I enjoyed it.

No, it will increase. But I'm sure the AG staff and mods will be able to maintain the spam and troll rate going on.
If 100% of all users are on at the forums, the spam rate will increase, the troll rate would increase and I will die. But it is very unlikely that 100% of all users will be on. I mean most of them are ghosts.
It would be nice for more people to be active in the forums since showing signs of life is a mandatory if you want to be known to the AG community. But still, people make accounts then forget about them, don't bother logging in, or just don't use the forums and only rate games. But I kinda like small communites since it makes it easier to make friends and vice versa.
I'm pretty sure that when 3.0 kicks in, the site will be out of hand for a while. Knowing Danny and the gang, they will advertise the new site across the WWW and tell them all the new additions. It will get "chaotic" for a few weeks, then slowly die down.

It is sort of disappointing to see that we have that many ghost accounts. But other sites like Knog have a lot of ghost accounts as well. So, the ghost account thing is on the same boat. But you are right, a lot of people would rather pick to rate and comment on games. And most newbies don't know that AP is useless. Ap is just for armatars and ranks...
If we do not have 100% of the users on right now, there is no way that we going to have it in the future.
It is obvious that that will never happen. I mean look at the amount of ghosts we have? Most ghost accounts usually don't come back after they leave their account in the blue. So, 100% of all users is impossible to happen.
As for chaos in future AG, if they can maintain the site, keep on paying for the servers, and if active, good users do not leave, then I can see them not being chaos in the future.
There might be some chaos in the later form of AG. But it is very likely that the AG staff can maintain the chaos.

Around that time, I'm pretty sure, we will have a bit of a higher amount of mods on AG. Most of our mods as in this AG's current form are pretty inactive. Only a couple are will active. But I'm sure AG can maintain the chaos around that time.
