IMHO the only really terrible new thread of the year was the one for Evolve and even then we got the best possible outcome which was watching the true believers and boring trolls slapfight it out until the entire world forgot it existed a week after launch.

nah, changing GBS didn't really have much of anything to do with it. There was kind of fledgling forums userbase and then very high peak with bit torrent barnyard, and then the obvious dropoff after btb was shut down. there's been a steady but gradual decline since then but the main thing that caused the biggest drop in active users was the major outage last year. a lot of people just never came back and the numbers show

Games has been running with almost no real issues except for the one where you can't post in certain threads without running the risk of getting stalked by the mentally ill. Stricter moderation very likely wouldn't fix this either anyway.

It did happened to me but this was back in YCS, someone "Dox" me and I stopped posting in that forum. Like he quoted the last 30 post I made on the forum and commented on them. I don't even know why it happened, I am not really an interesting poster.

The scary thing is I have no idea who this even is, somehow they got some of my contact info and send me goatse images to my email, or call my phone to tell me I need to fix the hosed up RAM in my brain at least once a week.

I usually follow 3-6 threads for whatever games I care about at any given time. Mostly they've been fine. My style is 100% carepost but whatever shitpostiness has crept in around the edges hasn't ruined anything so far. Possibly this is due to the nature of most games I like - a lot of sim/strategy stuff that mostly huge nerds post about.

To be fair the KSP thread and a few others get lovely on occasion, maybe because their relative popularity means they attract a lot of posters. Then the law of large numbers guarantees that at least some horribleness is inevitable.

Awesome/Awful Mods thread continues to provide great entertainment month after month, great job on that everyone.

No idea what to do about the decline in activity, but I'm not sure it's the posters' job to care about that either. Maybe SA should advertise or something, it is a profit-seeking organization after all.

Overall I rate Games: 2015 Summer Slam Edition a solid :thumbsup:.

Games' equivalent of The Cuck Meme is the pages of whitenoise posting about how Bethesda games are worse than Hitler because they get boring after 100 hours that pop up in every thread once a week.
