Is Resetera losing popularity?

[A New Beginning]

I don't have any stats on this but I have a gut feeling that ERA doesn't generate as much traction as as it once was. Most threads don't go past 3 pages of comments. If there is a mod who can confirm of deny my assumption and possibly share some stats it would be greatly appreciated.

I think its a very active site.... OTs can be huge. You can make friends too.

I think forums are losing in popularity compared to other social media.

ive been feeling this way for months.
its really noticeable but i mentioned it once and no one else seemed to feel similarly
i feel like the constant negativity has scared some people away. i know this place definitely gets to me sometimes with the constant bad news.

Discord is a thing now.

Your most recent post outside of this one was the 12,188th post in a thread.

For better or worse devs consider it the most relevant discourse when it comes to gaming. Especially since Neogaf is a trashfire of freethinkers. That's the only thing that matters.

plenty of people here have their discord so they spend more time there than here, not surprising, and i'm one of them

I dunno, I've noticed a change myself for the better recently. Place seems a little looser lately which is a good thing I think.

Constant bad news? Constant negativity? Where? Post examples. Its time to put this to rest.

It was popular?

Reddit/Facebook groups has obliterated many online forums

i still open resetera for the latest on gaming. Era and Wario64 put me up to date.

 

[Prefty]

I haven't felt this way about the site, its hard for me to keep track of some threads because they get buried so fast among all the active threads this page has

 

[Joffy]

It's just not a very hype time of year I think. Been this way since e3. OTs for big games can still get hot though. Fire emblem and FFXIV spring to mind

Metacommentary threads generally don't go well, so the thread is locked.
