These forums seem to be dying, lack of posters and such. I'm just curious as to why.

I've got a holiday job during daylight. The rest of the time is well spent sleeping. But hey, I'll finish my map.

OTHER: After our mishap with the loss of .com, I think our active posters population was almost cut in half.

Since then, due to a lack of people, it sort of snowballed into more and more people losing interest, due to a lack of interest (get what I'm saying?)

I'm home all day and I post whenever I can to stuff that's relevent to my interests. I want a job though...

Same as Forceflow I've got a job during a few weeks now.

I post when the topic interests me and when I feel like I can add something to it. I have my posting periods, sometimes I post more frequently and sometimes not as often.

Ah damn i'm the only traitor :/
Well I go to other forums cause this one has hardly any action. I mainly come to see the maps which are also dying <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif">

Places like iwannamap and ozone11 which are simple have many visitors <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">
TWHL is my all time favourite because they always argue <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">

I have noticed that the forums are quiet but mainly because people are away on hollidays or haven't the time to sit down and slowly read away.
I would normally be at school but my exams are over and we get an early break.

Been busy with work, Guild Wars, and to be perfectly honest - the lack of decent threads to post in these days <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif"> Also got me an ickle kitten which does nothing but bounce off the walls so I have to keep an eye on him!

I spend a lot of times at Fortress-Forever forums. I like going there because there are a few people there I really disagree with so it ends with good debates over everything.

I often find myself typing whole posts and then clicking away the tab, simply because I think it's just not making sense to post what I intended. I don't really know why, I have it on the VERC forums as well.

Just weird.

I feel as though the SnarkPit needs something new to bring in new people, we are just losing the old regulars, but aren't making new ones as fast.

Well, I'm not going anywhere <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> I agree it has been somewhat quiet as of late (though credit where credit is due - people like Satch and Moneyshot seem to be trying to keep up a relatively frequent stream of new threads), but I think its fairly common for us to have a lul during the summer period. Nice weather, summer jobs, holidays, etc... all combine to steal away people's computer time. I haven't been on mine much at all as of late, or at least it feels that way. Hopefully it will pick up again from around August time, as the summer drops away. I don't really see what could pull in more punters, though perhaps more tutorials (they seem to have dropped off lately) would be a good start. Perhaps post-contest we will see more visitors looking for levels too.

I'm not going away anytime soon, I don't have anything better to do. And besides, once the drifters fade out, we're left with some hardcore personalities frequenting the board. Good stuff.

My goal is to hit 10,000 posts and fade away....

For some that will be a day of celebration perhaps, but who really cares what they think?

As it stands right this moment. There are more people missing than here whom I visit this site to see... I miss the Snarkpit of 2 years ago... Fights and all.

Snarkpit was more interesting before we all fell into our complacency.. :/
