Are LTT forums declining?

[KarateHottie93]

Since I came back here, it just doesn't feel near as busy as it was a couple or three years ago. I've also noticed that a good bit of popular members I used to really like haven't logged on in ages. Maybe it's just nostalgia goggles but external input would be nice.

New people come in, old people leave.  It's also summer so that might have some to do with it.

I think it would be more than there really hasnt been any real new launches of tech that need help in setting things up. Everything has been out there for quite some time and there is a TON of information out there now that people dont have to ask questions as much right now. It will probably pick up should new tech get launched with new things.

Spot on, no new tech so no new queries. Once new tech comes out, that's when new people come in to join discussions. In the mean time, there isn't very much to talk about.

I'm finding that now I watch my vids over on floatplane I am not as active in the forums anymore ....

I don't want to respond to the 100th person who wants a 400$ build, go look at one made 2 days ago.

A lot of the old school people are in off topic. Check out the car thread. The benchmarkers also hang out in the Unigine and Cinebench Threads.

There is not much to gain, that is why they left.

Its the same ole stuff time and time again.

 

Traveling with PC

Parents

Potential/Current Job

Potential/Current School

Love Interest

Health

Builds

Homework

 

There should be an automatic response to 99% of the questions posted.

Nothing really new or interesting to me really for me to jump in and pitch my comment. That's why you see people like me who are not as active as they were when they joined.

 

There's also some who left, for one reason or another.

I've noticed a slight decline in activity since I joined, as well.

 

Not sure if it was just me being fast, or just other users being slow, but there was a time when I would be the first to reply to every new thread...

[mrchow19910319]

this forum is the best when you need to build a new PC. 

but people dont need to build a new pc every week. 

 

other than that, the forum is just meh. 

a lot of the threads are just circle jerking about PC vs mac, android VS ios, console VS PC and such. 

 

I felt that either I am getting tired to argue online, or I am getting old. Or some of the thread are just childish. 

[JoostinOnline]

Forums in general have been declining in popularity. I've got a forum for console modding, but it's dead. There are almost never new posts. I keep paying for it because I can't bring myself to end it.

I see quite a few new build threads, usually multiple per day.

I joined September 2016. I've seen a slight decline.

 

Not saying it's a big one, but there definitely has been one.

I joined 11/2015 but only posted a year later and I have to say 2016 is the time the this forum has received so much traffic especially for topics that are quite sensational and against the CS. @Ryan_Vickers knows this.

Well, a few of the more active members have been banned over time too.  It's not just a traditional decline.

I can't give a comment on that matter.

2016 also saw an uprise in members due to the Razer Blade/Blade Stealth giveaway.

 

Not gonna lie, that's originally why I joined. Then later I remembered that I had an account here and decided to be more active

I know some too. Again, can't comment.

 

Neither can you, for that matter

We do have activity numbers but I haven't seen them in ages.

[aeroencychris]

I used to be fairly active (checking recent posts 2-3 times a day) about a year ago but now I hardly ever come on. Things don't seem nearly as active anymore.

No, there's actual charts that show average number of online users posts per week over months and years
