I don't remember when it was exactly, but once the Metal Gear, Fallout and Halo 5 threads popped up Gaming just completely stopped dead in its tracks overnight.

I couldn't agree more. Gaming is dead as a result.

Exactly. I used to go to gaming once in a while but when the only active threads are megathreads and you're 20 pages behind, you don't really feel like posting.

And on the contrary, I post more in megathreads because the random junk I have doesn't fit in a new thread or in someone else's about whatever they did.

Just because posts are collated more into one area means there's any less activity than previously.

People who like megathreads should be forcibly moved to bungle.

Verbatim · September 08, 2016, 11:51:19 PM

Megathreads keep clutter out. I don't needs to see thread about every little stupid-ass thing people have to say about Overwatch or Battlefield One or whatever.

The fact that there are old threads on the first page doesn't really mean anything.

Jono · September 08, 2016, 11:56:49 PM

Better than having 1000000 Dark Souls threads

September 09, 2016, 03:59:03 AM

Just let people who want to post in megathreads use them, and people who think they're retarded make original ones.

You shouldn't be critisized for making a thread about Fallout because "omg wtf there's a megathread for that"

big dog · September 09, 2016, 04:15:58 AM

Megathreads are there to contain general discussion of a franchise, if someone wants to post something that doesn't warrant a thread.

Nothing's stopping you from posting something if you feel like it needs its own thread.

It makes forums look dead.

That's bad.

is that 500 across 5 boards or just gaming? that's not a lot for one board. tragic if it's forum-wide, especially considering that most of those posts are your own.

tragic would be 10 posts

dead would be 0

500 across all boards is just fine

still, you post 3.6 posts per day and you're whining about activity--how fucking STUPID can you be

BaconShelf · October 08, 2016, 11:40:32 AM

The main reason gaming probably feels slow is because there's not much coming out to incite discussion. Last year had a lot of MGS, Fallout and Halo stuff. This year there's not much coming out that inspires a lot of in-depth discussion. At least not discussion in the people who come here.

Battlefield.... maybe? But otherwise the title selection this year is kind of mediocre.

I mean... Posts per day isn't a great source to look for activity.
Say you post 100 times in one day and wait 100 days before your next post, it would still say you have 1 post per day.

And given how many posts there are per month overall, 3.6 per day isn't that much.

never claimed to be a top contributor, don't have the time. I'd contribute more if I had the opportunity.

given that I don't post much but have still noticed a lack of activity is tragic, considering that my own has been pretty consistent since joining.
