| Dr.Grass said: A big reasons so many threads die is because only 16 are shown on the VGChartz home page. I was very negative about the decrease in threads shown since the (current) redesign. I don't go to 'Gamerconnect' and look for threads, I want them to pop up on the main page. Duh. The old days of Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft/Music/etc. sections ALL being displayed on the MAIN page will have a huge impact. I mean, people spend 90% of their time on the forums, yet only like 5% of the main page is dedicated to forums. |
Yeah, that's bothered me also. When a thread gets bumped to the second page, the activity of that thread drops considerably. People don't really care much to load the next page to find a thread. I know I've done this myself too. I rarely click on page 2 to find a thread that may interest me. I think a larger front page would help remedy this issue by giving a larger amount of threads to be successful before being doomed to the 2nd page.
