I don't if you have noticed but forum activity have declined very much relative to few months earlier. Any reasons for that? Any suggestions? Cuz I am dead bored
I noticed too, it's annoying actually, waiting for someone to post in a specific forum that you're engaged in. I remember when I joined, in October I think, there was so much more activity. It might have to do with the more active people leaving combined with how small the community button is.
I wonder which of the mods won the yearly "When will the first thread complaining about forum activity pop up" bet... It seems rather early this year, but it might just be because I am busy myself.
@OP: This happens every summer, because people are busy with exams of various kinds, or because people are on vacation. So, there is nothing to do about this, than take it as it comes and wait for school to start in a few months. If anything, you can either play some games and try to get highscore, practice making comments so they are awesome and makes a mod want to merit them, wait it out, or alternately, not be on AG but outside, doing whatever.
I remember back in 08 and 09 this place was CRAWLING 24/7.
Over half of my total posts were made in 2009 alone. I'd say almost 700 were made this year, which clearly shows how much of the activity has been washed away over the years.
The reason why the forums are so inactive is because it's always the same members posting stuff. I find myself debating over a topic over and over again with the same people. I also realized that many people just agree with the majority of people and don't think for themselve which makes the forums boring.
I have noticed (my personal observation) that the forums have slowly been becoming less active since Cormyn retired from AG.
I think that it is the waiting for AG3 to be released, and the constant lack of any new info on when the new site is going to be released. The site activity really started to drop around August-September of last year, when the last estimated release date (Early summer of 2011) passed by. Since then, no other date has been released and users are getting tired of waiting, so they leave the site, to return at a later date (Maybe...). (Again, this is just my personal observation. I have no idea if it is correct or not)
Also, Summer vacation just began, and a lot of people are probably going on vacation right now. That can cause a minor drop in the forum activity.
