are So Slow, how many people post on gb 100 =s? this place is a ghost town
Giant bomb forums
This topic is locked from further discussion.
yar it was fast as fudge a while back, then skool restarted, it will pick up again eventually, the site is still a baby yet.
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 Epic at launch, they added moderators, It became this."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.

"I love the people saying this place is dying, it isn't dead guys. The first few days were crazy, and there were alot of users, but it isn't dead now."The forums are "dying", not that its gonna be dead, just that its used much less.
God i miss the good ol' days xD

What'll die first, this forum or Ernest Borgnine?
I'm always looking for opportunities to try out my obscure Ernest Borgnine references.
Let the site have more time to develop and an active user community will begin to build and the forums will pick up again...
"This place was Epic at launch, they added moderators, It became this."it's still better than GS.
Anarchy was fun for a few days, but after a while, it got annoying. Some order is needed whether you like it or not.

I think it all started when the mods locked the bomb squad to be honest it eliminated so much activity on the boards
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
"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."
No. Most of them provided much to talk about. That's what I and many others miss.

Thees.
