I don't bother keeping track of how many new people post, but people have found the thread easily. Not just in the Smash thread, but in nearly every other Community thread I'm subscribed to. I don't even bother with Gaming/OT because no actual discussion happens there due to the amount of garbage posts you have to sift through.

It's actually easier to find the thread because there isn't a new one every week, less garbage gaming threads like you mentioned making searches (manual or via the option) harder, and you can keep a single sub if you use subs.

People not posting there is a misnomer as well, just scroll through the last posted on both subforums and it's not like there's a significant difference; you'll find a third to a half of the page's threads were last replied to in in the last minute. It's almost identical, check for yourselves.

There's no actual danger of us moving to community tho.

Look man...

I ain't goin nowhere!

Community doesn't function properly. You guys just didn't take the time to look.

Its 12am where is my new thread? Can't be late for your first day of work GB.

 

[Professor Beef]

We have to disagree because I don't even go to community because its out of sight, out of mind.

I don't knowwhat garbage community has vs gaming, but the fact that the portal for community is way smaller than the gaming portal makes me wary for any unnecessary move.

Threads being in community has never stopped people from finding them. If that were the case, there would never be activity at all.

FGW| It's Fighting Games Weekly,not Fighting Games Community

 

[rookiejet]

True, Beef. I just feel if we can get the exposure, why not?

 

[Dahbomb]

New FGW thread or RIOT!

 

[BigBadShamoo]

Lol, I just noticed theres a community tab now.

Didn't it use to say off topic? No way that was there the entire time.

EDIT:
Oh wow, theres one for community and offtopic.

I never clicked on the community tab. I've always been in gaming. And yeah offtopic I'll probably never make more than 5 post there haha.

Looks like GB couldn't handle the pressure and abandoned ship. This means only one thing...

 

[mbpm1]

Guys we just have to wait for GB; he will stream and take suggestions from donators on how to improve our Fight Gaming Thread

Because he's GodsBeard

And he builds a better Community

The Geebee community

 

[ZeroTheShadow]

So am I making this thread or what?

 

[Professor Beef]

Its barely 10:30, and GB is west coast.

Lol, I just noticed theres a community tab now.

Its been there for at least a year+

 

[enzo_gt]

Give GB some time, transferring funds from our EMP sponsorship is taking more time than initially expected.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

There was definitely a slowdown in terms of new and active posters when my threads got moved to Community. f=2 effect too stronk

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

How can the tab down there below be out of site and mind? It's right there! I keep tabs/lurk on the buy/sell, tekken and NBA/NFL threads all the time.

Explain to me, why would a person who already posts here not post if it moved to a different sub section? Do you not have a subscription to the thread?

 

[enzo_gt]

The amount of new posters and people returning slowing down drastically is definitely a side affect of moving to community; it happens to every community thread and I've been a part of quite a few. That's been the biggest reason why most people have wanted to stay in Gaming and I totally understand that too.

People cycle in and out in general; the number of people who've been here consistently since say Guard Crush threads is preeeetty small. Even while doing weekly spotlights I was kind of surprised how many regulars just joined in 2011, 2012.

Quite a few posters have admitted to not using subs for...whatever reason.

it's more than a 50/50

Cause some people just refresh the gaming board since it and off topic have the most diversity and time relevant topics

 

[mbpm1]

How can people keep up with threads without subs though

I really don't understand

 

[kirblar]

The only person I ever see arguing for it is Beef. It's a terrible idea because of the time sensitivity.

And Beef only argues for it because he wants the entire thread to suffer the same etermal apathy that is given to every Dissidia post.

I keep tabs open for each of the 5 or so threads I read regularly. Every time I open my browser they refresh and I read what's new for each without having to go through another page. Click once to get a general look at what's going on in Gaming/OT and I'm caught up. Does it's job, saves me a few clicks. If I cared for more than a few threads I'd probably end up forcing myself to use subs, though.

it's more than a 50/50

Okay I laughed :lol

 

[kirblar]

You're right, they actually get prize pools.

 

[BigBadShamoo]

I'm not subbed at all. To any threads. I just regularly check it as it constantly gets front paged again and again, which is a good thing. It shows the thread and it's people are alive lol.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

I do that as well.

Subs for the threads I care about/want to keep up with. And refresh the main boards for relevant/new news threads.

How can people keep up without subs?

And to what Enzo is saying, people cycle in and out of threads, it's only natural as we get busy in life and what interests us changes. I used to post in NBA all the damn time years ago (Go Clippers), but I ain't got time for that anymore, haha.

...Weird.

Well since I just come to GAF for fighting game stuff I guess my priorities are different lol

 

[Lostconfused]

Subbing is where its at, along with go to latest unread post. Really don't even have to look beyond your user control panel for the ultimate forum browsing experience.

 

[WesternHeretic]

That's why sometime I make a random ass post because I know if I don't... I will never remember about said thread.

 

[K.Sabot]

I only subbed to two threads in my memory and 1 died and the other I stopped paying attention to.

I eventually stop using community threads as well, the only reason I still keep up with FGW is because its weekly nature.

 

[Professor Beef]

Ouch. Must find bandaid.

 

[toddhunter]

Finding threads is not the problem with community. On the other hand, too many people find them, move in and unfurl their anime gifs to make themselves at home.

You don't want that, it'll kill the thread.

Yeah, I'm not knocking it, it is what it is. I know the stuff I care about has changed drastically over the past year or so.

For someone that enjoys sf4 and played a little of p4au, how easy would it be to jump into xrd and learn?

 

[jerry1594]

Clicking too much stuff hurt brain. Stay out of community. If fgw goes community the bronies win.

If you get p4us mechanics and pace you'll be fine.

Maybe using fd to brake will be weird? I doubt it.

Well NBA-GAF has a legitimate excuse. After the mass-exodus the new forum they use sucked.....and the new kids took over the remaining of NBA-GAF and made that suck. Then some of the old farts decided to come back to NBA-GAF and left their new forum.. (which sucked) and decided to suck up new NBA-GAF when it was already sucking.

TLR

Mass exodus ruined everything. ... AKA don't piss off the mods or everyone is banned!

This sentence makes no sense.

i love anime, but yes i agree, we have to keep it in check

You know what, you're right.

Fuck the flipping part. My egg execution is lacking.

I can't do Egg combos tho

Damnit

I wish the "anime is a miracle" gif were attached to a better series.

One might even call it exeggcution.

NFL-GAF is way worst with anime than FGC. I think GAF in general just loves to anime it up cause for the lulz or whatever.
