Wonder why?
It used to be so active ages ago but not a lot of people post and i mean from like 11.16am till now just 8 topics updated.
Looks like it's going downhill might be good Silver to spruce it up a bit you know. Make the colours of the background more vibrant and appealing.
Don't really see many hardcore producers posting on here either or dj's when they used to frequent these forums quite a lot a couple of years ago.
What do other's think?

I haven't noticed a decrease in activity, but I'm just new.
I do have 20-30 new topics everytime I visit though.

Maybe they felt the same too.

I have the New topics page as my homepage, and basically never off the site. Ill be on it 3-4 hours at a time, and there is quite a bit of topics being updated. I get atleast 20-25 updated topics eachtime

I think it's as active as always, pretty much, it's just that 90% of what's posted is rubbish. If there is less people posting then it certainly has nothing to do with the website, people are either interested or they aren't. No use trying to fix what isn't broken. The website is spot on and has been for many years. Changing it would just make things worse.
When the forum was at it's peak there was a lot less posts/posters. I would rather have quality than quantity. A lot of people posting crap is not a good thing.

Nah not in my opinion sorry.
There's far fewer people, far less new post's.

If there was more posts it was just more crap, so what does it matter? Unless you like reading crap lol.

When I joined I'd come home from work and see hundreds of "new topics since last visit". Not I not visit for a week and it'd barely be over a hundred. It used to be really active, tons of posters, tons of new members, loads of producers and DJ's used to post and the people where all spot on. Now hardly any of that is left. It's a shame really but it does feel of late that the site may have run it's course.

Again i don't think the site has anything to do with it. Any time people want to talk about Hardcore on a forum they will come here, if they don't they won't go anywhere.

Hope not. I love this forum. Looks like I arrived a little late in the day, though.
And by the way, Stu, that is an outrageous lie: "Now I not visit for a week". You're rarely away for more than two hours!

I meant to say "if I don't visit for a week"

The site already went way downhill (in terms of the quality of posters/posts) from about 2004 onwards so you don't have to worry about it getting worse.

I miss the old days!
The lack of activity is probably more related to the lack of anything to talk about than the quality of the members. There are plenty of people who are both knowledgeable and funny but it doesn't come out often enough.
Almost every thread used to be an event in itself with some VERY interesting characters taking part (older members will know the names), but now it seems that a lot of topics never get going due to either lack of interest or lack of quality......a bit like the music that's around at the minute!

I'm still here although i have to admit i don't come on here daily like i used too. It's due to the lack of new topics. There's not much point coming on daily in there ain't been nothing new added.
I really like the idea of a colour or design change. Give the forum a new fresh updated look. Maybe add a few new things to keep things interesting.
