It's not working. ioi, if you're out there, you can come out of hiding!

I agree with this sentiment. Even though I stopped caring about the numbers long ago, and I many cool users are gone, I don't think I could ever like another forum as much as this one.

Yeah well, I'm not a mod, so  

But I agree especially when people said it without nothing to back it up. 

I've lately have taken a one week long ban. I needed to think things through, alot. The first few months I made on this site everything looked perfect, like seriously one of the best communities and sites. Lately that's been going down the drain. People constantly critisizing the mods, people saying this site is getting boring ( way before this sales thing started happening ) and making accusations about everything ( From this site being biased to a biggilion other things ) and finally to certain users who I considered excellent to take a tumble dive into the ground it's all been going downhill and honestly it's not as enjoyable as it used to be. Maybe it's just me and other don't feel the same, from what's going around I'm sure many feel the same though. The atmosphere has turned from being pleasent to quite awfull, how people act on threads has changed, maybe it's my new noob googles being taken of or because I've lately been having more unpopular desicions but one thing that I feel is true is that everyone feels the need to debate everything ( and I mean everything ) and factions are sort of being created. From the replies that have been going around "Old Users can be replaced" "We'll surely consider him when he comes back" it feels as if this isn't really a community anymore and the fact that people may have worked there butts off for this place doesn't matter.

My post is filled with numerous contradictions, even with this thread itself, but honestly it's how I feel ( So very confused inside ). Honestly I'm hesitating to click the submit button.

Instead we have absolutely nothing.

I think in part that is why I stopped looking at the numbers because Nintendo started to get decimated.

But in many ways, it's better.

To each their own.

It is to my recollection. It's just it has been so long since numbers came out that it's not really been introduced (however discussing what should and shouldn't be moderated is a slippery slope and it's probably best if we don't go down there...)

And a nice post Mr. Playstation. I agree with a lot of what you say but instead of dwelling on the past it's best to try and improve the future. 

It is indeed better to improve the future. Please don't feel offended by the post.

Last year I was addicted to this site, now I don't really care for it as much.

Discussions have gotten stale, still a great community.
