What in the bloody smucks happened?

[Castor Troy]

Its easy to see that the forum used to be a lot more active than it is now. Just look at the dates of the threads in General AMV. Right now, the front page of threads ranges from Feb 1 - Jan 4 (last post date). A full page of threads over 1 months time.
Let's look at page 2 of threads. Jan 4 - Dec 4. Another month. Seems pretty consistent.

Now let's look back to 2005:
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/forum/v ... start=3960
A full page of post ranges from May 10 2005 - May 3 2005. A full page of posts per week.
Looking at the next page, May 2 2005 - April 26 2005. Still about 1 week.

Now, of course this is just looking at General AMV as opposed to the forum as a whole, but I think General AMV is a pretty good indication of the overall speed of the forum. We are only getting about 25% of the activity that we had back then.

Most of those people don't even post anymore.

The old Hentai AMV thread is good schtick...

You jerks drove poor -ssj2gohan- out of here back in the day.

No wonder we're elitist.

The startling realization that these same types of discussions happened 5-6 years ago (yet, the Org/AMV community is still here.... *DUN DUN DUN*)

[Ileia]

Yes, and in another 5 years when the community here is even less active it will still be discussed. This is an ongoing thing.

maybe if we did something back then we wouldn't have seen such a big decline...

oh wait, the Org/amv community is still here...(let's) *DOO SUMTHIN*

Not really. If youtube was never made, we'd be thriving more than ever.

[gotegenks]

Youtube isn't the only website with video streaming and a better layout than us, though. I'm sure there would be something else if youtube wasn't made, lucky for youtube though it WAS made.

[Knowname]

We're probably the only website with streaming and no adds though...
