I think this site is surprisingly popular given its rather narrow scope. This site specializes in figures with a focus on analysis. For the vast majority of gamers this is actually far too verbose for their level of interest. The conversation is actually in the vernacular of gaming leet. Which is why I like it, and a great many other posters like it.
I actually hope the site does not become too popular, because that displaces the dynamic. I have heard it often enough from a sites management that we will not change, but it invariably happens as temptation becomes rife. The intelligent dialogue takes a back seat to the dumbing down of the content. Eventually you find yourself the last smart person in the room surrounded by babbling retards. That is usually the last day you go to a particular site.
This is the progression the smart site attracts the smart user. The smart user attracts their dumb friends to the next level. The dumb always outnumber the smart. The stupidity overwhelms the site so the smart users jump ship to a new smart site. The new dumb users being too stupid to know what they actually want bitch the site into dumbing itself down. At which point they still get bored, and leave. At which point there are two possibilities the site dies, or the site lingers on like a white dwarf star all burned up in the conflagration, and the majority of smart users never return, because they now consider the site dumb.
The moral of this long winded story is to be careful to whom you spread the word. Don't tell your dimwitted cousin with A.D.D. about this site. Tell the guy with a shelf full of games who has been playing games for over a dozen years. I think it preferable to have a thousand top notch posters then ten thousand posters which think Leet is a type of laundry detergent.
