This month is on track to have lowest amount of new threads posted since June 2006. Lowest amount of new posts in a month since September 2007. It may narrowly beat out last month's post count but take away E3, and it wouldn't even be close.

I blame Methodis, ManaByte, and duckman2000.

I've found that I post here less but hang out in IRC more. It's more of a personable environment.

Triumph is just another belligerent twit. Smooth Groove, on the other hand, is totally awesome.

It looks like June is an outlier. Probably at least a few people have finals. Or there was a mass migration away from the board and now it's dead.

It is unlikely finals are the real reason why contributions have dropped. Now that we know the board is dying, do we continue the scorched earth policy (letting methodis, manabyte, and duckman2000 post until they have driven everyone off) or the sexy policy (posting tasteful pornography)

amnintenho, last June there were 999 new topics; this June there are just 244, on pace for maybe 360.

WrikaWrek · « **Reply #17 on:** June 20, 2009, 10:37:42 PM »

Some of the more prolific posters bounced, for some reason. All things come to an end.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #19 on:** June 20, 2009, 10:51:58 PM »

So what you're saying is that Evilbore is the PlayStation 3 of message boards, where's GAF is the Wii and OA is the 360.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #20 on:** June 20, 2009, 10:53:40 PM »

Here is a break down of the four forums that I've posted at recently:

Evilbore [The Bore] - Prolific members leaving, post counts tanking
NeoGAF - Overrun by stupidity and the repetition of the same old arguments, best members have been permabanned
Mystery Forum #1 - Dwindled into almost a complete wasteland, half of all new threads have an OP with just an embeded Youtube or Flash video
Mystery Forum #2 - Went offline without warning one day, still offline several months later

I am so sorry, guys.

demi · « **Reply #21 on:** June 20, 2009, 10:57:55 PM »

"hey guys the board is slow, this is cause for concern."

"well what should be done about it?"

"i have a chart here showing prolific members (cajole? seriously?) leaving for unknown reasons"

"well what should we do about it?"

"i dont even fucking care. i'm leaving"

"well i'm glad we did something about it"

demi · « **Reply #22 on:** June 20, 2009, 10:59:19 PM »

and nobody is getting unlepered. you're distinguished mentally-challenged and your threads suck. get used to it. stop being distinguished mentally-challenged.

Yeah, don't blame the people that are still posting here -- blame the people that just up and left for no particular reason.

Or, hell, make more good threads and less threads about the board goings-on. A common Borys rant is better than this crap.

You're just mad that I called you out as a reason for this board's decline in quantity and quality of posts.

Not really, dude. This board drama shit is just ridiculous, especially coming from someone who regularly mentions his plans for leaving the board. I've got nothing against you and I certainly don't mind being painted as an all powerful destroyer of communities, but this crap is just drab.

I don't use Real Talk as much as Gaming, so I might have missed something.

Kestastrophe · « **Reply #29 on:** June 20, 2009, 11:25:44 PM »

I don't know if I am considered a quality poster or not, but I plan on posting more after this week. I have an econometrics course that is very tough and I have a huge project due this week.

I would also like to note that alot of the threads started this month were probably "Borys" threads, i.e. shittiest OP imaginable, followed by 0 to 2 responses.

We had people leave, but such is the life of a message board - we have highs and lows. I'm not concerned. In two months, I'll get 10 PMs requesting to ban some new douchebag that is runing talk for T EXP or something.
