Well theres a number of reasons for that. For starters, Im under the impression that a lot of people have left.
Its been running for so long, threads are repeating themselves.
The age of the users is a bit high - I reckon most active users to be between 20-35 if memory serves me, so theres no time to invest to something like an internet forum.
Like, honestly, I dont care what you people say or think, Pokemon Sword and Shield are crap.
I dont know if theres such a word as "overmoderation", but if theres is, in few sites have I found it more present than here. Its impossible to have a proper conversation criticizing or bashing something we legit dont like - cause its taken as an "unproductive conversation". I keep hearing all the "good" folk got permabanned long ago. At times, the thread itself might not be discussion-worthy, and still gets locked. Just a couple of days ago they erased the "unpopular opinions" thread for no reason whatsoever. There was no insults, discussions, or anything of the sort, just a bunch of dudes sharing a bunch of unpopular views, and yet they locked it. So unless im here to say "X" thing is awesome and I hope it does well", discussions are limited. Seriously tho, Pokemon Sword and Shield are crap.
Its not just the moderation tho, people in general get triggered very easily - and in general are very serious in this particular forum. I've said this before, but bar a few people I find the treatment people have with each other in here to be very stiff. Even in the offtopic threads. |
I wanted to bring this up on the site, but there's no moderation thread anymore to bring it up in.
It's ridiculous that thread got banned while unironically at the same time people were making disingenuous arguments about whether the Switch belongs in a chart next to the PS5. Not saying that should be banned, either, rather none of those points of discussion should be.
That thread was one of the most popular threads in a long time, it got about 50+ replies in a day. And it wasn't doing anyone any harm.
In fairness the OP complained after making the thread (which honestly seemed super reactionary given how peaceful the thread was???) so maybe that had something to do with it's closure. But yea, that was a ridiculous one imo.
