The forums are not like before. GD is still pretty busy, but most of the other forums are relatively quiet. "Dead" is a probably a better word.
The quality of advice and discussion has also gone down, in addition to the fact that topics stay on the front page of many forums for days, indicating decrease in posting in general.
This has coincided with the introduction of the new forums, but that cannot be the only explanation. Many of the old forum warriors are not there, which probably makes a big difference.
Am I the only one who feels this way? Is this nostalgia, and are the forums active and raging as ever? |

I am saddened by what has happened here, it seems we no longer have interesting discussions about gameplay backed up by experimentation and recording results.
This is especially true of Ships & Modules Forum. This used to be a place where you were not trolled over posting stupid questions. Multiple fittings were posted in every thread and the intricacies of game mechanics debated over in detail etc.
Market discussions has also gone severely downhill imho.

You can observe the subtle trending even from the old forum before the change over.
No doubt. Eve is entirely a different place tbh. Hope CCP get their act together. It will take time for the community to get back to where it was. |

Thank you Chribba for the data. I am not good with graphs, but I made a bar graph of the raw data, which basically tells the story: Recent increase in GD posts and recent decrease in MD posts. Of interest is the huge spike in June 2011.
I decided to look more closely at the last 3 months (14 July - 13 Oct. 2011) and to compare the numbers to the same period in 2010.
The results:
Average no. of posts/day, last 3 months, GD = 1016, MD = 97
Average no. of posts/day, same period 2010, GD = 621, MD = 167
You can argue that the increase in GD posts is due to the subjective increase in trolling.
I have also had trouble posting in the new forums- and use an external editor to compose posts before pasting them here. Losing long posts certainly puts you off, as suggested above. |
