according to the results i see on internet wayback machine when i search http://gamefaqs.com/boards and check the number of users browsing at pretty much any date between 2009 and 2011, the latter being when reddit exploded and basically walmart'd all the smaller websites out there

<_<

that's pretty brutal, no wonder many of you who are left have been reduced into a gollum-like state of asking for "pics" or "whose alt"

What was the average number of users browsing at a given time during those periods? Last several times I've payed attention, it's been around 1700-1900. Maybe low or mid 2000s.

I mean I suppose. I'm an ancient on these forums from 20 years ago. It does seem like less people, but I keep coming back for some reason.

I was lurking around in 2000. Damn I feel old.

Gfaqs popularity has waned over time as more and more other things have popped up. Why would the chitlins use gamefaqs when they can get on their instatwits and reddcords.

I've been coming here for about as long and it's just a form of interaction I can follow and understand. Stuff like reddit is fine to read but isn't interactive for me

Yep basically simple chronological message boards feel the most comfortable. Reddit is based on upvotes and social media is a plague. I do love all the subreddits for different music genres and my different interests. Social media I totally avoid. Seems like message boards have stayed under the mainstream ans I personally would rather have that.

Finding a good discord is about the closest to a forum, bit sometimes it moves just way too fast. Forums are a good chill medium.

If Gamefaqs popularity is dwindling then why is Allen asking for more Mods hmm?
