It's because it's the middle of the night in America. It really picks up when it gets to their evening time.

I'd rather have it a bit slow than full of spam, lemmingism, GS Hayting, etc. If those people hate GB and their "Nazi" mods and leave, well all the better. Quality not Quantity

Trying to hold back a laugh as people say GiantBomb is "slowly dying." You have to be kidding me. First off, there are many users on GiantBomb that don't even use the forums. They comment on news story, write blogs and work on wikis. Second, many regulars of the forums have started college and don't have as much time as they used to have to come here. Just because forums are not active doesn't mean the site isn't getting traffic.

Yeah it is kind of dead, but the site was still boring when it was ative. I just come by and post 3-6 times every once in awhile. Maybe if they made the forums with sigs and some updates for the forums, then it'd be better to come here more...

This place was completely overloaded with pages and pages of spam at launch. The seccond day of GB was insane. The whole front page of the forums was filled with idiots posting complete crap. They added moderators and it became a decent place for discussion. If you want complete anarchy, go to 4chan.

We were here on the first day, guys.  Things were just crazy at that time...like 150 new threads per hour crazy, most of them consisting of garbage.

That being said - Agent and Aaron, you guys need to knock it off and take your little lovers' quarrel to PM's.  Thanks.

Are they somewhat less active than in the first week or so? Yes, but it isn't dead.

What'll die first, this forum or Ernest Borgnine?

I'm always looking for opportunities to try out my obscure Ernest Borgnine references.

Anarchy was fun for a few days, but after a while, it got annoying.  Some order is needed whether you like it or not.

IRC is where the cool kids hang.  You know it!

Oh, and maybe if there was a "Go to newest Post" option or a way to subscribe to individual threads I'd post more, but whatever.  I'm too used to vB to really forgive those things.  As it is now, I need to actively find the threads I'm following, and remember what the last post I read was.

I'm actually glad that the flood of useless posts are filtered now in place of a closer community.

I'm not leaving by a long-shot though. Been here since day 1, and never looking back. :D

No.  Most of them provided much to talk about.  That's what I and many others miss.
