Been a busy couple months hope all is well with everyone and the site.

To be honest, I think a lot of folk are concerned about the lack of acitivty on the forum, it seems to be dead most times of the day and........I don't know, something is definately missing.

I mean the forum has been stable and such but I'd say people have certainly noticed a severe drop in activity lately.

I think we need to address this before the forum dies.

Thoughts?

Nobody realized me and my ideas where holding this forum together, by instigating conversation and counter arguments. What a fun time this place is now. sleep:

yeah, lack of activity is my biggest concern for the forum.

I got a idea! unban everyone and see who comes back. Controversy brings back activity. If that doesn't work, then we need to advertise.

I don't know guys,
I was hoping that updating the forums and MOH:Airborne would have brought back the fire but then again I actually thought EA would do something right.... am I gullible or what?

I'm going to revamp the front page (again) and get some news posters on board. Without covering a major game it's hard to round up a quality community.

Yeah, i agree Rude.

Heck, i was at BB last night and couldn't decide on which game to buy. Haven't gamed in awhile and want to get into it.

You think it may have something to do with the popularity of game consoles as opposed to PC games?

rudedog · 01-27-2008, 11:31 AM

NEVER!!!! ok

I don't know arkan, they are seeing the same thing over at TMT. Trying to figure out what to do, what to support, how to grow the community.

Without a game to back you up it's very hard.

There hasnt been a game (FPS, RTS) thats generated a decently sized modding, or conversation generating community in some time. Arkan does hit a good point alot of people are going to consoles with games that are cross platform, its cheaper than updating a PC and has a huge online community.

Personally Id like to see what the next battlefield has, as much as i hate to say it, and see where it goes. I know EA will release the community splitting X-packs and it will die again because of this, but it seems to have atleast a little potencial. I havnt seen enough of it to really say "back it" or not but its new terrain features and such, if they come through, should generate some interest in modding the game to other venues.
