Seems to be getting deader and deader everyday, even though it's been about the same everyday. Seems like we should let this place go and find somewhere else to go. I mean, we've tried making games to brighten things up, but they either died fast or had Rob someone not able to handle hosting it, then there's big brother, moving slower than a paraplegic turtle going up a very wet very steep hill while it caries it's overweight dead buddy on it's back.
Anyway, I'm not leaving 'till this place has 1 post a day (or close to that), but I'm just saying, we've done all we could with this place.
I'm willing to bet activity will pick up a little after christmas/winter break

After?
Seriously, we should take the life support off of the vegetable we call a forum and find somewhere else to kill.
I've already found my two backup forums. ;-;
Maybe we should make an advertisement thread for suggestions on where we could go after this forum dies.
I mean seriously, we can say all we want that activity will pick up, but who are we kidding? We're just wasting up Silver's money on about 1 post an hour, more when a new thread appears.
Heh, I just remembered how FCD got popular.
Someone kept spamming links on OldSider (At least, that's how I got here.)
whatever. i got places to go when this place breaks. won't be long now considering how slow it got...
So I guess SSBBrawlin referred me here for nothing then...

Nothing to talk about and frankly no one is here anymore.
I know i don't post much but I really don't have anything to say.
I'm fine with it =/
*sigh* At least give me your AIMs before this place dies. I only have Custom, Doodle, JMV, Silver, and Kilroy.

Anyone who leaves might as well do it now.
Do you really need to leave just because of the inactivity? Maybe you yourself should be contributing with more than just whining about how no one posts.
People leaving because of "inactivity" are the reason we're inactive.
Suck it up.

If you let this forum die, I'm not remaking it.
You can all just go to NS2 and be miserable.
It's not THAT dead.
Besides, we'll be more active once everybody is on their winter breaks.

This pretty much sums up my recent activity lately.
We've said crap like "oh we'll be more active when break starts" many times, but you're just kidding yourselves, sure maybe it changes to 2 posts per hour, but it ends up still being dead.
And it's somewhat true that we are inactive due to people leaving due to inactivity, but the thing is, before they left, the place was still inactive, them leaving just makes it slightly more inactive.
Also, I don't complain much about people not posting much (though I do bring it up, I just don't whine), but no matter how much we try to contribute, it only helps for a day or two, then we're back to being dead. Look at all the games we've made, we're contributing, but once people get used to it, they're like "meh" and don't care as much, either because it's not that fun (TCG, it was fun at first, but we all saw that die, though it apparently will be revived soon) or the mods get lazy (*coughbigbrothercough*).

If Silver left we'd be very active.

Meaning the forums being up?
I WOULD TAKE OVER SO WE REMAIN ACTIVE
We may not have that much to talk about talk about, but I think this forum is worth keeping for all its shared opinions, however few they may be. Your poll thread in the Pokémon board is very active and quite interesting. If more threads as active and interesting as that were made, maybe this place would pick up a little.
I CAME BACK BECAUSE I THOUGHT THIS PLACE WOULD BE MORE ACTIVE BUT NOW I R SAD :(
This forum won't die, but it will dwindle down to a certain point. It's all a matter of if you guys care. The staff have made attempts to spur activity. You, the users, aren't motivated to do anything, and thus let this place slowly wither.
I'm not one of those people FH D: I love coming here :3
Jr dude, every time I look at your avatar I think your Nayrman, just because he had one similar some time ago.
Oh hush. Outsider's been surviving on a user base of around 18 or so people for the past 4 months, give or take. This place is not dying, there's just too many people whining.

Lol yeah, Nayrman just had the close-up of that shot =p
I'll stay here until these forums are shut down.
I've ignored this thread for long enough. If anyone here has a right to ninny, it is either Silver or myself. The work that goes into this site is far greater than any of you imagine - it's so you can stay a united user base. Silver works his ass off paying bills around here, fixing issues, and more. The result? A slight dip in activity and he loses a user or two. That's down right depressing.
I won't lie and say the last downtime didn't hurt us. It was sort of the final nail in the motivation coffin. However, what do you guys discuss? When threads on Mega Man 10 get only 2 pages while random poop by JMV gets like 12, it's depressing. We post quite a few topics...but if they aren't in this board, no one cares. What the hell. There is a ton to reply to. The Nintendo board has two WiiWare reviews from me on it - each has like...two comments. You're telling me none of you are interested in WiiWare? How about whining about the next possible Goldeneye game? Nope, let's ignore that.
In fact, it's sad when even "What Are You Listening To" gets like 3 posts a day. Hell, you all have music blaring half of your day - don't lie. I've seen teens walk around like zombies. Imagine the discussion on music if you actually DISCUSSED it.
And to anyone making funeral arrangements now...what good will that do? The same userbase transfers to another forum with three users....wooo! The intercourse did that accomplish? Jack poop - the same thing the whining does. I invest far too much time into this site to tolerate that bullpoop. I've been here posting topics, making events, hanging out, and working. Silver has too. Yet we are repaid with high treason. It's disappointing, and quite honestly, I am losing the motivation to do things for you all, as no matter what I do, it goes unnoticed.
I notice.

*slowclap*
Like Mack said, you guys have no idea just how much time and energy and money (oh god the money) we've put into this place. When something major goes wrong with this place, I try my hardest to get it fixed, no matter what. Sometimes it takes a while, but I get it fixed. This site is my baby, and I do whatever I can for it. I honestly would be devastated if this site died because of the apathy of the users.
This site is pretty much my internet home now. Why would I leave it?
I notice you guys, I also notice how all of your hard work doesn't accomplish much for activity, sad as that sounds. Though your games often work for a bit of a day, but yeah.
And sadly, I agree with what Tsumaru just said, usually, whenever I go on the internet, I click Bookmarks then here, then after I witness the 5 new posts, I look at another site I often look at, then click Back 'till I'm back here, refresh and see the 0 new posts, then I repeat the process. This place is basically my internet home, D=
This is my internet home too ;_;
I wish users would make it more active.
IRL board will hopefully change that. With luck.
Just allow IRL postings on PO.
Quote from: Jacob Marley on December 20, 2009, 06:21:46 PM
stuff
tl;dr: Stop starring only at PO and the board index and post more interesting topics/posts.
I really don't have much to say, but While stats are clearly not as good as last year, this month has gained more posts than October and November (http://nsfcd.com/index.php?action=stats)
Granted; I have no idea what caused that since I mainly lurk here, but that shows that It's not totally "Downhill"

I honestly find it dissapointing when people leave due to lack of activity. Them leaving doesn't necessarily help with that...
I like this place too much to leave due to activity. STAYIN' TILL THE DAY IT IS SHUT DOWN, MAN.
Hey, JrDude, go intercourse yourself.
Was it really necessary to use me as a specific example?
You complain that activity is dying, then when someone does something nice for you guys you ninny about that too, that's why I quit. So, again, intercourse yourself.

Do you expect better of him?
doesn't really look like he's leaving...
I only used you as an example 'cause you were the most recent (and only one I could think of at the time).
And I never ninnyed when the game was going on, you can keep saying and believing I did, but I didn't, the only thing I ninnyed about was you whining after you ended the game because you couldn't handle the whining of others. If you're head of something, people are gonna ninny to you, just ask Silver.

I may not have been here for very long, but I'll be darned if I'm going to quit without a good reason. *This*, my peers, is
not a good reason.
Quite agreed. Why quit an internet forum? It's not a job. Just show up if you feel like doing so.

Heh, we should delete Power On for a week and see what happens. Either everyone leaves, or people post elsewhere.
