[QUOTE=KillerKane;33999746]Yep, I remember the good ole' lurker days as well. To think it's been 5 years.
EDIT: six years, my bad I keep thinking it's 2010 for some reason.[/QUOTE]
man its 2012
[QUOTE=darth-veger;33999783]It used to be huge because of Garry's mod 9 and later on Garry's Mod (10)
But yeah, maybe after the new updates it will get a boost[/QUOTE]
i remember when gmod 10 came, the mass of people after it was released oh dear
also spelling system taught me so much, i was so bad at english.
i made always sure everythings right before i post now i dont fucking care :v:
some people just outgrow posting on the internet and focus on other things (irl friendships, school/uni or work)
I kind of wish I was there for that system. It would probably help me with my grammar and spelling a lot. Even though English is my 1st language, I never had really good English teachers so my grammar is probably terrible and I feel like it is sometimes.
Why is it that relatively new members always make a "Is x dying?" thread. If you are asking that question, and there are thousands upon thousands of posts per day on a internet forum, you are asking the wrong damn question.
oh look the apparently needed "X is dieing" thread, this time about FP.
my facepunch is dieing

my iguana is fine
I don't consider Facepunch dying until the online user count drops below 2,000 at any given time. I still see the same familiar people posting, not so much brand new people anymore.
[QUOTE=ConsuelaMaid;33999140]What other games?[/QUOTE]
I guess people forget about the games they developed in between HL2 and the supposed HL3. Left 4 Dead, Portal 2, etc.
To all those saying we're growing up and stuff, new (and younger :v:) people are always joining
I'd imagine that the Gmod part of the community is the cause. The rest of the forums seem more active if anything, but I as Gmod gets older I'd imagine less and less people will visit that part of the forums.

garry is working on a big Gmod update. I bet that'll help being some people back to it.

Stupid reason to leave in my opinion. Facepunch brings me the latest news on everything. I don't have to go anywhere to watch or read about the latest stuff.
FP won't be dead till the 12'ers hit.
Oh shi-

seems a hell of a lot of people were attacked, they were probably all FP members

I think the older posters were already on SomethingAwful in the first place.

SA feels a bit too sterile and old fashioned compared to FP.
[SUB]In my opinion[/SUB]
More people are realizing that SA is a much better forum
[QUOTE=JohnFisher89;34001587]More people are realizing that SA is a much better forum[/QUOTE]
I wouldn't say that. I was there before I was here and they're fairly equal.
Something Awful is something awful.
I would have thought the name would explain the whole community, damnit.
SA is better because it has more adults than kids rather than vice versa
just stay out of rfa adtrw and gbs
[QUOTE=spyk;34001530]I think the older posters were already on SomethingAwful in the first place.[/QUOTE]
just jokes, i've been saying that about Kinglah Crab for a while now. Just kiddin' with him though.
although sa itself outside of the forum kind of sucks too
[editline]e[/editline]
wow
The main reason I joined Facepunch was to get weapons, maps and such. Now I can get everything directly on Gmod. I'm still wandering forums though.
I like this forum for the awesome community, I really hope it doesnt die out any time soon.
Community is nice but there hasn't been a spark since months.
