It's funny I remember about a year ago that people were complaining that gametabs was dieing. lol
Still it's nice to see the site is still going strong and more people are starting to enjoy videogame music.

Gametabs has a lot of traffic but less active people on the forum section i think.
In my memories there were more interactivity between the members on the forum and the comment section.
Maybe it's a twisted memory due to a kind of "nostalgia" too.

I think it might just be that

I think it might just be that a lot of the "old guard" who were responsible for great fingerstyle arrangements aren't still pumping them out. Most of Kabukibear's stuff, for example, was from 2007 to 2010, and there are a number of other really good fingerstyle tabbers for whom that is also true. Some people still hang around and comment once in a while, but the "community" that existed during that period is pretty much gone.

So, maybe the statement "Gametabs is dying" isn't true, but "What I got out of Gametabs isn't happening so much anymore" could be, depending on the person.

Hey Auriplane, out of curiosity, could you do a graph of fingerstyle tabs over time?

And then I realized that the chord progression from Chrono Cross's Another World is the same progression as the chorus from Peace of Mind by Boston, and life was never quite the same.
