I think it's funny that facepunch thinks they have the best community and everywhere else sucks.

[QUOTE=zzzz;34002376]hahahahaha[/QUOTE] Good job contributing to the negative end of the scale, now onto the topic at hand again, This place won't die for a long time.

I have noticed the General Discussions threads aren't as epic or unique as a couple years ago.
Facepunch is dying out. Goddamnit guys can't you see it went from red to plain white? Which one of you has been cleaning facepunch with javel?

[QUOTE=Crpto2007;34002330]I think it's funny that facepunch thinks they have the best community and everywhere else sucks.[/QUOTE] Any other good forums to go to? SPUF is just bad. Official forums for just about anything are really bad. I go to somethingawful forums for like 5 minutes and its pretty awful (plus the whole layout of the forums just hurts my eyes...) So where else can one go?
[QUOTE=Zeke129;34001351]What happened in early 2010 that caused tons of people to visiting both forums[/QUOTE] Mad (and probably Dumb) theory [sp]http://i.imgur.com/Oo1fy.png[/sp]
there are thousands of active members and guests on the forum. I dunno, I don't think it's die-ing.
[QUOTE=Zay333;33998653]Even though I haven't been around as much as some of you, it has become strangely apparent me that Facepunch is dying. This is especially apparent in the "Valve Games and Mods" section where there were once tons of updates and comments but now it usually comes to a comment or two a day on a thread.And Google trends isn't really telling us otherwise: [img]http://www.google.com/trends/viz?q=facepunch&date=all&geo=all&graph=weekly_img&sort=0&sa=N[/img] I'm just concerned that this Forums is becoming nothing but a shell of what it once was.[/QUOTE] Love the 2007 spike, was the windows live free game thing I believe [editline]1st January 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Zenpod;34002961]Mad (and probably Dumb) theory [sp]http://i.imgur.com/Oo1fy.png[/sp][/QUOTE] October isn't early 2010 though
Just wait until HL3 and Valves new engine will be released, then its up to Garry to make GarrysMod 2 i believe
[QUOTE=JohnFisher89;34001587]More people are realizing that SA is a much better forum[/QUOTE] Something Awful is too incestous. The reason why is my other issue with the place: The paywall. That alone would be a dealbreaker before you hit the commentariat.
It's the Reaper virus, it's back
something awful is just 22 year old retards instead of 16 year old retards. As someone who has an account on SA, I can safely say that it's not any better than FP. I find myself coming to Facepunch more often though, just because I've been here longer than I have SA.
[QUOTE=Clementine;34003123] October isn't early 2010 though[/QUOTE] Oh, read as "early October 2010"
Sure we may be losing members but This forum isnt dying out, we will get new memebers throughout next year.
something awful lives up to its name, the layout bugs me out.
Slight decline but it's still really active. You guys may joke that Facepunch has a lot of idiots but I seriously do reckon we're a lot more educated than other popular forums. If you go somewhere else it's usually hard to have a proper discussion because of shit posters or 10 word replies. I remember a friend of mine made a typical "x vs y who would win?" video game thread in a forum which I forget awhile ago and it had 80 pages of "lol x would win" "y would kick x's ass". Only occasionally there would be a proper post worth reading.

Facepunch has a sort of hit-and-run posting style that's very prevalent, especially in older members
Even a its least active, facepunch is more populated than most other forums.
I've been wanting to move to the Something Awful forums for quite a while, as it's much more mature and higher quality than Facepunch. I just don't wan't to commit to the fee, as I feel joining a forum should be free.
I'm going to start advertising Facepunch.
