When bobo left, the discussion factory was shut down.

"What colour are your socks"
"How many cakes do you eat per month"
"Poll: What is your favorite beer (only option is 'all')"
"How many pairs of socks do you own"
"How often do you brush your teeth"
"How often do you buy socks"
"What would you do with lots of free money"
"Discuss your favorite socks"

Creating a sock discussion forum was one of those things bobo promised to make before he ran off to Cancun.

This can still be a reality if you want.

I don't need Bobo.

I have the power.

Just say the word.

I'll say the word. I've got sock-related queries with no place to ask them. Clearly this is the true cause of GFF's decline.

I am disappointed in the lack of sock choices in my normal shopping venues. Especially in summer; my options are old lady socks or anklets, neither of which I like.

I think what you meant to say was
WHERE IS MY SOCK DISCUSSION FORUM CRASH LANDON?

Sometimes you don't realize you needed something until you finally have it. :tpg:

Like someone else said, forums in general seem to have lost steam. It's kinda like they were a fad at the time for awhile and lots of forums would have constant conversations. But a lot of people just seemed to stop caring as much, kinda like Pokemon. It had a boom and then popularity dropped off but there is still a group of people who maintain interest.

This is one of only 3 forums that I still check. Others that I used to frequent suffered a horrible death. One used to be about as active as this one is now, but now it only gets maybe 5 posts a month.

Here is why this place died. I kept leaving and coming back.

It's as simple as that really. People where just sick and tired of me just giving them a glimpse of how awesome I am.

When they couldn't get the full package, everyone left. It was actually a pretty big deal. Almost caused a civil war in these forums. The first crash happened because of all the discussion in the topic "Where is Rangel?"

Also, for the curious, I stick toads up my ass and dance to Britney Spears. <---- Whoever edited this in, HOW DID YOU KNOW?

Does no one have a fucking sense of humor anymore?

I think Mortis nailed it in post 3. Same holds true for all the criticism towards Gamefaqs topics. You can find some intelligent discussion there once in a blue moon, but GFF is more consistent. Or at least, most members know of each other anyways, so the context is usually understood amongst ourselves.

I've inadvertently phased out from checking GFF daily, to just once in a while, since the last year of university got pretty busy. Then I realized there was no point in checking every day since I could come back after a month or so, search for replies in a thread I've posted in, and the updates wouldn't even fill the whole results page.

I do miss the level of activity from a couple of years ago as well, but it's not like things can go back to how they were before.

I became engrossed in WoW and my posting/chatting in IRC dwindled down quite a bit. So, considering how much I didn't post/chat to begin with--yeah. Maybe everyone got addicted to WoW? Doubtful, but it'd really make me feel better...

However, even though a lot of the cool people I used to chat with are gone, I still think this is a pretty solid forum.

The fight was finished. GFF has been slowly dying ever since.

This.

My love for GFF died when the ability to spamprop Megalith's journal was no more.

You know why no one posts anymore?

Because my name is Saad and I don't give a fuck.

*fartz*

Confusion cleared. I should read through threads more often...

I guess it's because the Sewers don't have porn pics anymore.

Vemp, you just aren't looking hard enough. Unless you're referring to naked members thread then yes, it exists only in your heart.

Everybody grew up and *gasp* stopped playing video games. What forsaken reality is this?

But our generation grew up on video games. I thought we'd never grow out of them.

People don't want to talk about video games anymore. Nowadays it's all about socks, apparently. Socks and contests.

Socks are an important part of our daily lives! Too often they're taken for granted! :mad:

Wasn't there a video game about socks? GFF could talk about that.

The only one I know of was Socks the Cat Rocks the Hill and its about a cute and lovable cat fighting corrupt Washington politics as usual.
