I've certainly noticed this place is less active than when I last visited regularly. Lack of sales and most all users I like being gone are reasons why I also dropped off, I just came back for E3 specifically to see conference times, and back again now cause I wanted to talk about Fire Emblem Three Houses and see what others think of it. In my case it's not solely the fault of the site itself, I've become more of a recluse in general even online. Maybe I'll try to post more, but overall no idea what can be done to solve this. I've made some wild memories here good and bad so I'd rather not see this site die. D:

Honestly there's not really much that can be done right now... at least I'd say not anyway. This gen as a whole has been pretty stale, there's been very little competition and I guess us losing the weekly sales has made some people quieten down too. Let's just hope next gen will see a growth of new and old users!

There was a period where the site became fairly un-recommendable though in terms of reach-ability and simple design flaws when it came to a mobile version of the site, even with the current layout of site/adverts on mobile it's a tough recommend to others to come here to check something like a story or otherwise.

The way a site grows or shrinks when it comes to a forum is people wanting to come here and chat, something like a "bring a friend to wo..vgchartz day" might increase some traffic back through these doors? as long as the doors don't have a pop up covering the place where they would need to click create a new account it should work to get some new faces in here. What I mean by this is... if users of this site would spread it to others they know in the real world who might be interested in a gaming news forum which is fairly well moderated and has cool stories dropped on a daily here as well as sales figures... I'm sure we all know someone else who likes games right?
