Are the forums are dieing?

  1. I remember topics would go so fast it would be on the second page in no time, now I can sometimes see a post be the top post and the next day it will only be three or four threads down from the top with no new replies in said thread, meaning it was never replied to and it really has been that long since anybody has replied to any threads.

    It's odd seeing only one thread being replied to in hours sometimes. But what do you guys think?
     
  2. Yea it does seem kind of slow right now. Maybe because it's summer and people spend more time outside than during the winter?
     
  3. There's a lot of subforms
     
  4. Nah man the forums just kickin it it ain't but a stone across time.
     
  5. GC was at its most lively when it still had the original forum design like 2 years ago. Once it changed the site became hard to navigate imo and I didn't like that they took 'reputation' away.

    Yes oldd members are leaving and the newer generation of members/smoker's are coming in also seems as if the threads lack the same substance that makes grasscity such a diverse and unique forum, but of course you will always have those threads that get reposted over and over. Also alot of members go dormant during the summer due to the increase in underage posters. The forum could use some improvement imo.
     
  7. Probably because of notorious lurkers like me who don't respond to threads...
     
  8. I noticed the same thing, i just didnt wanna make a thread about it haha

    i think you arent branching out enough




    there are many subforums and lots of people online at most any given time


    we've been members about the same amount of time and you can clearly see the difference in effort made to add something constructive to the city



    also, excellent thread title[​IMG]

  10. Can't say I have noticed much change in the past while, but I do know I spend more time outside. I would be outside now but its almost midnight and the bugs are crazy. Although I might get stoned and go shred my longboard in a bit. Maybe even star gaze if the clouds get out of my way.
     
  11. There's a lot less people posting helpful info and a lot more people asking how much they should be paying for random amounts of weed. I try to add what I can but you can only answer the same questions so many times.
     
  12. this doesn't bother me personally, but i can understand it if it does. dumb thread after dumb thread, giving horrible advice, getting into pointless arguments. it's pretty offputting. but i stay because if i see someone being horribly mislead i'll chime in, because some people don't understand they shouldn't take advice from strangers over the internet.
     
  13. it's the life cycle of anything
     
  14. All your base are belong to us.
     
  15. I think it's funny. Kids show up and reply to dead threads, start a 19281928918th version of an already existing thread, treat this place like it's their faceboook. I WOULD enjoy a bit of fun engaging them, but I'd probably get a warning or some shit.


     
  16. yeah I'll admit I used to love this website but know it's eh
     
  17. so Dr. DREW and mad Mike have loveline... Where's granny?
     
  18. Seems like GC is dying out with each new update/forum design.

    I miss the original layout from when I first joined.. like 2008.. rep and neg rep.

    Ahh, good times.
     
  19. I miss oldschoolstoner or toker or whoever he was. he was the best
     
  20. I was just about to comment that, his witty banter was on point!
