This could be because of the game being phased out or it could be that the forum changed handlers but what is up with the drop off in members? The proboards form had nearly 4,500 members in less than 2 months. We're reaching almost a month and we are just reaching 1,000. Where are the other 3,000 members that joined proboards? Why is it we can go to a thread, make a post, and 8,9,10 hours later we are still the last to post in it?

I think it is because many people joined just to make trades and they quit after so didn't move to here or they set up multiple accounts on the pro boards forum and now like the trade chat because after a little bit on the trade chat I got all the shinys before (wasn't recent was a while ago) and because we don't have our own tab on sam's blog we are just under one tab with other things

but yes I noticed a lot less members

also I think they may dislike the default skin so they don't want to join

Why do I doubt that so much? :-/

Anyways, I'm obviously not a member of Proboards, but yes, I used to be a "guest" in the old boards, and I noticed a lot more members there than here. -_- :-/ :X :huh: :O

Shinys became easier to capture so you don't need to trade as much if at all.

The proboards site felt easier to navigate too.

But the biggest reason I feel proboards had more members is the new topics button lol. it was at the top, easy to find, and gave you the new stuff people were talking about. Now there's the active topics button waaaay at the bottom in little text. Hard to find at first and if you don't find it searching the forums for new topics is a pain.

Yeah, I think thats partially too but at the same time....there was a three hour difference in the shoutbox. There's barely more than 3-4 people in the general chat at one time where the old chat was almost hard to moderate when 15-16 people were talking. It just seems the amount of members has taken a heavy decline. I've been with the forums literally since day 1 and can name at least 8 people I personally watched step aside. Thats saying something considering they were pretty much the only 8 I talked to.

***EDIT***

My point exactly; just visited the chat to find anyone to talk to: I was the only one there. :huh:

Laziness is not a good excuse for not coming here.

The active topics button at the top isn't hard to find. In fact it's virtually in the same place, so chin up about that I'm afraid. As for it being easier to navigate, the structure is pretty much exactly the same. So I dunno what you mean by that.

Here's my point of view:

1. We moved. From my experience it's a sad side effect when you move forums that many members are lost.

2. Many people just registered at Proboards and weren't active. Of course those never registered here.

3. Many people registered for trading; with all that hacking and glitching that's been going on lately, people don't feel the need to trade anymore.

4. People who still want everything legit can catch everything on their own since Sam increased the shiny rate drastically, so they don't need to trade anymore.

Hiya ;)

This is easy to guess...

When the forums were made, the game was new. Usually most people join within a month of something's launch, because it's new. We had 4k members there yeah, but active? I guess about 150 were active (50 posts+), we have just over 100 people considered active, which is a much higher percentage. I prefer to have a good amount of active people, and a fun community than a huge, spammy community with loads of people only registering for trading, and posting once. After the move, about 400 people came with us, but we got alot of new members too. This is a good sign, because PTD has already been online for about 4 months, and we are still growing. It gets more slowly, but we are still growing ;)

I can give u some other info

usually my abra charity (remember it?) most of the people that asked me for abras were just creating their accounts, most of the guest used to create accounts to get in those giveaways and stuff, i mean, most of them had only 2 posts, 1 in trade and another in a charity

and another thing, we are also loosing activity of the regular members, im in there too, i barely post, i mean, the forums became boring for some reason ¬¬ or maybe its just me being cynical

i dont remember them all, but most of them were reaaally active members, yuki, chaihai, the mewgikarp guy, watapomka left to but for other reasons meh

we changed some things, changing the forum left a looooooad of inactive members behind

we got the eggs thingie too gpx that takes alot of time from the members

also that people dont need to trade anymore

and where did newbody go?

pokedexfiller left... and the icon is now a caterpie... meh

I joined really later on the old boards but joined here quite early. I was wondering why people havent ask Sam to put the address on the actual game at the top. This would probably gain more members and more topics/posts meaning less bored orignal people etc :D

That's not a bad idea, but then again, you don't see a link to Nintendo's website on Pokemon games, do you?
