Are OCUK Forums in decline?

Kavalree · 31 Jan 2012 at 11:55

OK, this is a weird one.

A while back I noticed that if I posted (or anyone for that matter) a thread in GD, within a few hours it would be knocked onto page 2-3 with or without replies. Now, back to the current time frame, I can post a thread and it will stay on page 1 nearly all day. This is showing me signs of decline.

Now, it could just be me, but have any of you guys noticed this or not?

Not that I've noticed, still full of people who can't buy a toaster without an internet support group.

I've noticed that it has been a bit less active the past week or two.

No idea why.

If it was on page 3 with no replies, it was most likely an awful topic.

I think people who spam posts have just matured.

Most probably because I moved the goal posts for MM access. Less spamming.

to be honest ive noticed the oposite and the forum actually seems more busy

Cosimo · 31 Jan 2012 at 12:02

It's been quiet for a week or so. Maybe people are just too busy.

There are also a lot more subforums that reduce the amount of posts in GD

I heard OCUK forums were closing and that Overclockers are moving to eastern europe to cut costs. That'll be why the forums are a bit slow.

Apart from an annoying amount of racist threads (more than none), the forums haven't been in decline as far as I can tell. If anything, due to the community spirit and amount of competitions they have bee better than ever

It's the Americans that's done it, it's their fault OcUK is in decline.

New threads != quality threads.

Best decision made on the forums in a long time as well.

Now if only you could ban all the left and right wing fundamentalists threads would stay on page 1 for months
