Where Is Everybody?( Big Drop )

iambecomelife · 10-13-08, 09:12 PM

In the past couple days the number of people on the forums has plunged! What's going on?

I understand that an old game will eventually lose its appeal, but this decline seems very sudden.

I think the hardcore forum members are at the subsim meet thing.

GoldenRivet · 10-13-08, 09:19 PM

yes... you'll see a return to pre subsim meet levels in a day or two.

Also, right when i got home from the meet i completed several patrols and a sh*t load of honey do's.

I would guess that a lot of the "hard core" types are in the same situation.

Just a lot of boats out on patrol right now, thats all

:hmm: Huh?

Threads posted to for Monday, Oct 13th, the day this question was asked:

SH III Main forum: 24 threads (19 of them new since last week, 5 were replies to older threads)
SH III Mods forum: 20 threads

Comparing to last week, and granted, this is only threads who's last post was on last Monday (the 7th) you get:

SH III Main forum: 15 threads (Assume 20 or so based on previous threads from today)
SH III Mods forum: 20 threads

So, yeah today (which I believe was a holiday?) was actually a little more active than last Monday, which brings me to my question, what do you mean where is everybody?

A lot of people were watching the webcam when it was on.
And posting there.
Neal had people standing by to answer questions sometimes.
Except when A SH Dev was beating on a guy with a GWX shirt!

If you missed that?
You missed a classic!!

Sailor Steve · 10-14-08, 12:51 AM

And it wasn't even a GWX guy! I just...I mean he just stole the shirt!

OUCH!

Steeltrap · 10-14-08, 06:17 PM

Well I'm here a few times most days. I pop in between doing various things at work.

Re-learning the "don't shoot at destroyers" lesson. Again.

Loading up now on the new rig; 3.08 GHz QuadCore Xeon, 8800GT, starter set of 2 GB RAM (it's a MacPro, also a useful machine). TIA to anyone seeding the GWX2.1 torrent.

papa_smurf · 10-16-08, 03:14 PM

Im still here, try to get on every few days or so. Not so easy with my current work shift.

CCIP · 10-16-08, 03:39 PM

I think by "Where is everybody", you mostly meant "Where are Sailor Steve, privateer and jimbuna?"

Well, they're back now and accounting for a good half of the posts in this forum, I see :p

Laufen zum Ziel · 10-16-08, 03:52 PM

I am on every day However I too was starting
to get a little worried. I am not used to seeing less
then 90 viewers on SH3.......

HansVonBeehan · 10-16-08, 04:01 PM

Lets Rock on people!

Myxale · 10-17-08, 04:59 AM

Beside that, most of the Boys are on Patrol!

I can hardly say to my IWO: "Take over for a bit, I'm going to post a few messages on a Yanks board!"

:rotfl:

I check the forums most everyday, but I just don't have much to say.
