I love looking through some of these at all of the names / avatars I recognize. The survivors. What's really interesting is when you've been away for a while and look up a user you remember to find they've been banned for a long while now. This is one of the few gaming sites that haven't been banned at work yet, so... probably just a matter of time.
It's funny to me that Lufia Erim, the OP, has only been around since 2015. No offense intended there - it's just I've seen plenty of people come and go in my time here. Groups and notable people spring up then disappear. I doubt I've ever been one of those notable people as I don't post very often and tend to just stay out of the arguments. I've written up replies and then just deleted them because it's not worth the trouble. Quality over quantity - though I do enjoy watching new users post a dozen new topics, rack up 1000 posts within a month as well as a few mod warnings.
I think as most have said the Gamergate debacle saw a big exodus of users.
blivion filled up the ENTIRE gaming discussion with threads lol.
