You know... you might be right!
If people would come and comment games (after all they found this site because of games - I imagine), I guess they would also check out the rest of the forum.

It should be a button, sticking out... not a link... Good thinking Tulac. :thumbs:

Either it's the negative karmic influence of Studentis now or Abandonia's days are counted, your pick

Even more likely cause for the drop in activity is that the forum no longer allows guests to post anywhere.

It happened one time on the old forum, when it was under heavy bot attacks. The guest posting was switched back on after a few days and a few dozen new filters, but in the meantime the results were pretty much identical with the current situation.

Yeah I started to post as a guest. Only after watching myself returning now and again I realized over the time (half a year later) that I should register. I started in Games Discussion--and even limited my participation to that single board quite long after I had registered.

EDIT: Now I realize I should have posted this in the new poll... So yes I voted aye.

Good old times, when the sun was brighter (if it ever came out) and the days longer

I find it amusing when young people start to talk like old men on their virtual back porches It's a natural thing in small community forums after a while (people go on, lives and habits change, etc), but do keep in mind that today is tomorrows yesterday, so enjoy every minute of it

Well said, but I'll try to say it better yet
Yesterday was today that died long ago, tomorrow will be a today one day yet. If we stay too much in yesterday or the yet to come future, we'll miss the today. But today is the most interesting time

Ponder about this:

When you want to move forwards, looking straight behind the whole time will get you flat on your face.
