It's because of the PSP announcement.

And no, this isn't the most popular forum on the net. How pathetic would that be? ;)

but if you were to add up GAF in all it's forms (pre-EZboard, EZboard, Post-EZboard) then we'd be in the top 50 easily.

Yeah, the last board was way up there. Even I was confused over the board-change. Kept pressing the forum button on the main page. :p

Neat site Scrow! Look at the GAF description:

Gaming Age is primarily a message board for heated videogame enthusiasm and discussion, but it also houses an eclectic Off-Topic forum which can see discussion on about any subject. No question goes unanswered, and no statement goes unchallenged.

Sounds about right!

We are not the most popular forum on the net.... No Diggity, No Doubt.

Some anime forum is number one but sadly it not what you think. If any of those posters there are over ten I be shocked. Topics outside of masterbation,viginity, authority complaints, superman vs swampthing, etc barely exist. But its sure better then "white power" forum some numbers below them.

Damn, that #1 forum has a Mega Man topic of over a 1000 pages, a Dance Dance topic of over 3000 pages (o_O) What the hell. Also, 2 Dutch boards in the top ten, it almost seems as if we got nothing better to do :D .

Dammit men we can take those Ford Explorer bastards!


Also looking at the stats.... what the heck happened in October to cause that spike?

Jesus H, that Gaia forum has threads with 17000 pages, and that's just on the first page of the forum. How on Earth they got so much activity, regardless if 10 year olds post there...

Gaia lets you "purchase" really awesome outfits for your avatar. GAF has no such feature. Watching my cousin post there, it seems like they have a better sense of community too. There seem to be more chit chat threads.

Gaia online is the worst thing to happen to the internet, with maybe Something Awful's "if we don't like it, then we should set out to destroy it!" philosophy being a close second

GAF is apparently less popular than a board whose primary purpose is the discussion of Final Fantasy X-2 (#562). I don't know if I'm happy or sad.

The board hasn't even been up for a year and we're #627 overall. Sort it by posts last week and we're #145, which is a much better indication of GAF's activity.

Yeah, but the use of avatars in that forum just makes it better. :)

The "Superman Vs. Goku" thread has got to be the NERDIEST thing I've ever read on the internet:

Superman once nearly outflew the barrier of creation.

He is so fast, and his senses are so sharp, that while talking to Lois Lane, he heard aliens in another galaxy needing help, went there, helped them, and came back, and Lois didnt even notice he had left.

Superman closed a black hole with his bare hands.

He once used his superbreath to extinguish a star about to go nova.

He sneezed in outer space, and his super breath obliterated an uninhabited solar-system. The whole thing.

In February 1954, Superman withstands the explosion of a hydrogen bomb, (Superman #87)

In June 1958, while relaxing at his Fortress of Solitude, Superman defeats a great robot he has built in a game of super-chess, despite the fact that the robot - which possesses a super-electronic brain - can think and play with the speed of lightning and plans a million moves at once.

By 1957, Superman is able to hurl an uninhabited Planet through space (Superman #110) Both Pre-Crisis Superman and Superboy have been known to move planets without external assistance. For reference, consider the earth an average sized planet. The earth weighs in at 5.972 sextillion (5,972,000,000,000,000,000,000) metric tons.

Superman doesnt know martial arts. Wrong. Superman knows many forms of martial arts, and how to neutralize them, and he has thousands of years of combat experience.

This is so freaken baka. ok Superman is God, no wait Goku is god. You know what I hate about BOTH of them, they are too strong. Yes TOO strong. So they both can kiss it.

I checked out Offtopic.com, which is in the top ten. The first thing I saw was:

Topic: Who pees in the shower?

That was also the first topic I saw at GAF. Fuckin' weird.

Dear Lord, one of their topics has 330,000+ posts. What the fuck! That's amazing and creepy. One of the 230,000+ ones was only made last June too. >_<

At any rate, GAF would be higher if we tallyed all of the posts we've had over the years from each of our iterations. I did a post count inventory awhile back for as long as I've been here and we were in the neighborhood of like 4-5 million I think. I don't remember the specific numbers.

You gotta hit the drain man. jk

Also GAF is pretty strict about spam so that puts us at a disadvantage.
