I'm not saying they suck. It's just went down-fold. And it's not about the spam/trolls/flamers either. There haven't been a lot of interesting threads around. All I see are, quote threads, love situation threads, break-ups, relationships, and school stuff. It's nice to give advice for a person who just broke up but really? Can you just look into the other thread about break-ups and use the advice there rather than making a whole thread about it again? Well, your story can be different. But look into the other thread and see! I know some of you can be lazy...though

And also in my opinion The last year forums were better, it had more unique and interesting threads.

So, what is your opinion about this?

When I'm bored, I just look at old threads, and nostalgia sets in.

ArmorGames should really work on a bit more options for locations and varieties on the Forum. Maybe more skins? People? Activity? I am actually quite clueless to be honest.

Let's compare ArmorGames to OffTopic. Both have Forums, but one is built for Forums. OT is rippling with activity and seems to be enjoyable. OT seems to also allow more features than AG, such as signatures (Built-In), Customizable Avatars, and--

I GOT IT! It's the Lack of Abilities to post fun images saved on from our computers. Add that feature to let us Browse our Computers for our images, and I guarrentee we will see fun on this forum again.

A lot of the artists have left since the ASC was discontinued. The AMW is mostly just writing at this point, which isn't a bad thing at all, except many of the artists were active forumers in other sections as well.

I am still active around AG, I'm just lurking around the corner. Nothing interests me enough for me to post in it.

If you really want a more interesting Community, the trick is to make threads that are about an issue that people have never agreed on. Just as long as the discussion doesn't get out of hand. Also, threads that push the boundaries tend to do well.

Well vinster, you have a very large post count, 1k more than me, and ive been here a long while. You must be pretty active. Thats probably a key reason. Ive taken a fair few breaks from ag out of necessity, and every time i come back my enthusiasm for the forums is refreshed. Like anything else, foruming gets dull if you do it non stop. Take a week or two off ag, come back, and youll probably like it a lot more than when you left.

Well, Woody, I was thinking about going inactive for a bit. And I won't be much active when school starts, so I'll like it a lot again, at Winter Break, or Thanksgiving break.

And about my activity, yes, I have been very active. Except I was off for 2 months once...

Eh, no matter what the activity is here, if there's something good to talk about I'll be here.

As for the features, I think we should wait until AG 3.0 is announced and stuff. Seeing as most of the features on other forums have been suggested for this one, I think we ought to wait.

Yes many people are suggesting, and asking about AG 3.0. We still don't know when it will be released. But once it is released. We will know it. If it's long or short, it will obviously be worth the wait. Like Sonny 3 is worth the wait for a couple of people. But still, some other people aren't patient. It's their problem. So yeah...

Only when stupid threads like what color is your hair, or celebrity hate threads come up. Stuff like that makes you mad cause its poorly useless.
I hate that when you make a sports topic, instantly its pushed down so no one can see it.

Well, all I say is, if you have to bring personal issues to AG, then you must be DESPERATE.

I agree, threads like I'm depressed or going to kill myself are created so that everyone will focus on them, sometimes made just for attention I feel.

i agree too. if its a serious problem don't ask the community that spends a portion of their time playing "online games" ask a doctor or something
