Should this forum close?

I personally see no future for it at the moment because Rudedog is a busy man and has slowly turned into a BadScript character (no disrespect)

if it were to close we should have a place that all of us can go once in a while to catch up. there are some good people on this forum.

we lost alot of people when we went into groundforce1.com and we lost even more when we went into fpsgameforums. this place would be hella active still if it just stayed aa.com from the beginning, in regards to both members of offtopic and the idiots who still play the game and its mods. the idea of a general fps forums in the form of gf1 and fpsforum is too flawed as its too vague.

we have a facebook group and there is 92bengals for the option to laugh at comatose.

its too hard to start again from the bottom at another forumlike this has, 5 years its been for me. i love this place as its not that biggest amount of users it feels like a family seeing you bitches grow up.

question is when do we admit defeat?

Yes, the forums really had no point to it from about 2004 when hacks for mohaa were rampant and people slowly but surely stopped playing the game (thanks EA for the support btw, you twats). As elstatec said domain name changes didn't help matters.

When the site became fps games forum there was a counterstrike source server and things looked pretty rosey but that all got knocked on the head pretty soon after. Not sure of the reason but money was probably a factor. Really its been on life support since then, ive not posted in a good while seeing as the place has been a ghost town for maybe the last 6 or so months, it got little sparks of busy threads with airborne and crysis but that soon faded. Really whats the point of posting much anymore when threads get 1 or 2 responses? (most of which seem to be blitz either talking absolute bollocks just for the sake of posting, or posting song lyics into a thread for no reason).

The sites not gonna be what it was and really thats all there is to it. 2001-2003 were the glory years for this site, after that it was a steady decline into what it currently is, that being a forum with no real purpose.

Stop bitching about the forums. If you don't like it, close yourself and disappear. Sorry to sound harsh but i'm tired of hearing it. [strike]BS[/strike] RUDE will decide to pull the plug or not. It's his time and money. Perhaps it can get a lift if a new game or something along those lines come out.

Exactly. I'd rather have it be up forever with no posts, than to have it be deleted and never have the post DB again.

Somehow i doubt goatporn would attract many new subscribers, though buttocks would pay for membership for a site like that.

How about a spam porn site, just lines and lines of posts all with blitz's name on them. Be like dangling crack in front of an addict.
