(Yes I do like Black Metal, I just thought this was funny). Yeah, this forum's pretty freakin' dead. And I do enjoy The Office, but just in small doses, I can't watch a whole episode.

Yeah. Basically shit like this.
It seems like not many people here have anything constructive or imaginative to add to the forums. Just stupid pictures... As seen around 4 times in this fucking thread.

Hah well what do you really expect there to be in a thread about someone complaining about no activity?

If you're bitching about contribution and imagination, there's the "new thread" button up there. Please be my guest.

The way I see it, if you're complaining about a lack of contribution when you yourself are not making noticeable counteractions by actually contributing yourself, then it makes your entire argument invalid to me.

Have a Popsicle.

Thing is. I have been.
And not with retarded posts. Actual legitimate questions and responses.
I've made several threads talking about serious shit that I'm curious about.
Don't congratulate yourself till you've actually won.

And Auri... It seems like people ONLY use the shoutbox for saying shit.
And since that's the case.
WHY THE FUCK DO WE EVEN HAVE A FORUM?!

This is a small community of videogaming guitarists. Isn't it natural that there aren't dozens of new posts every day?

Several you say? By several you mean exactly five (including this one)?

Three of the other four which you received legitimate constructive answers to, mhmm.

Three of the other four which were made almost over three months ago?

Yeaaaaah, where would we ever be without you.

With a thread by name of "YEAAAAAAH BOYYYYY," satirical or otherwise, you gotta be flipping me if you're expecting to be taken seriously.

Secondly, it's a forum, you can say whatever you want to. Frankly, as I said above, the majority of your threads asking about tunings, band critique, etc. received serious answers. Amidst the inherent chaos and madness that you believe plagues this place. If people fooling and joking around bothers you that much, you should chill. The majority of the active community here can be serious just as it can be laid back.

You're pointlessly complaining about something you offer nothing constructive to aid or "fix" in the first place.

I like this forum. We do flame wars right.

BTW, the main reasons forum die is not because the users don't post. It's mainly cuz they've said everything they need to say, and no new members are coming on and asking questions (or they are coming on, but are smart and searching the forums for related threads).

Forums never die, they just go silent. It's like when martial artists can just look at each other and know how the entire fight will go just from each others eyes. We know what's going to be said, so we don't need to say it. Those that still feel the need to post are probably going to post something unrelated to what this forum was actually (probably) made for. Discussions on things to better ourselves and this website.

And now, I'm off to go about my day. May you all enjoy yours.

BTW, I'm now an official college graduate, and I start the masters in a week. I'm going to be very edumacated. lol

Forums in general are dead, the web has just moved beyond them. With facebook, and twitter, etc, these days, the use of a traditional forum is simply a dated practice. It's extremely rare these days to find a small site with a really active forum. Especially if the site isn't forum-oriented to begin with. With this site, the attraction is the large amount of really unique tabs that the community itself produces. That's why there are plenty of posts in the submissions and requests portions of the site. And the stream of comments to the tabs themselves is also very regular. Like others have said, I'm kind of glad that the forum isn't 'active' in the traditional sense, meaning that there isn't a lot of random, contentless posts. The shoutbox, which is very popular on this site, fills that void quite well.

So, while there may not be a lot of random chatter in the forums themselves, the community is still a very active and cohesive unit. This is what every website strives for and few attain, so I am grateful for that.
