| Crona said: The community and topics are shit. Sure I can say it more politely but I won't. The bigger a site gets the shittier the community gets, it's fact. In 08 the site was usable and had a an good sized community that was active. Once 2.0 launched the site tried to do too much a ton of new people (idiots) came and a lot of the old users left or were banned due to site sensitivity. 3.0 somewhat cleaned up the mess that was 2.0 but nobody is left minus a few ancient useres. The large Nintendo fanbase left, more Sony fans came and just general idiocy spread through out. A lot of these new topics are stupid and bias as hell. The users are stupid and the forums reflect that. |
Pretty much correct, this... aside from the 2.0 comment, 2.0 was the absolute zenith of this community IMO.
Nothing can be really done aside from letting it fix/break itself - you can't exactly nurture better threads (even if you can lock all the stupid shit like game x vs game y, metacritic discussions, any ThePS3News thread etc) - you can only hope for members making it more attractive. The design could be fixed and more streamlined, but it still wouldn't come close to solving your problem, since it truly is in the users.
