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.

onelifecrisis · 10-13-08, 09:14 PM

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!
:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
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!

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

Im new here so its good!

SH3/4 ftw

XD

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:

During the Grand Sumsim Meeting someone wrote there was a drop in attendance on this forum.

Someone else mentioned that this was due to people being in Houston.

Now, the Houston survivors are back. but forum numbers are nearly half of what they used to be even in the early days of SH-4 and the grand exodus to the Pacific.

Maybe we need to dig and revive the Who is keeping the honor of the U-boats thread.

What is going on?

GoldenRivet · 10-28-08, 08:30 PM

<<<<< Lazy lately.

oh... and starting up my business.

so my decline in posts is justified and explained.

now how about the rest of you slackers?
