I think it's just the fact that theres nothing new to play. Plants vs. Zombies and Limbo are doing well and they're 2D. I know alot of online players who play League of Legends, YoVille, and an endless amounts of puzzle games. Most of those I've talked to enjoyed Gungirl 2, Survivor: The Living Dead, The Block Fairy, and Illuminator. I'll talk to some of the people in my gaming community to see if I can increase downloads here. I don't know how much it will help though considering how few games have been uploaded to the site recently.
The slowness seems familiar... Almost like we forget that it happens every year because we're not sure whether we imagined it being slow before or not.
Yea I would agree. The same thing happened last year in August, which is why I started a competition on the forum here. A few weeks later, slowly, things got back to normal speed.
I'm sad about GOTM though if that is true. It was always a hope to win a GOTW, and then became much harder with the GOTM...and now it may never happen. If nothing else though, it provided a great catologue of games to go through if you wanted to find some good games you may not have played before.
I am also sad about GOTM on it's way out, not good news Is there no way we could make it more automatic so that the admins no longer have to set up polls?
I think some admins are kinda playing a wait and see game if this "thing we are not supposed to talk about blah blah" will become a reality any time soon. Others are just to busy with real life things. I think we will see the site to continue going downhill update wise anyway and with that a further decline in activity, until something changes. I have my own reasons not to do anything about it but thats not worth going into here.
So there you go, positive vibes all around

Haven't really had much actual free time for years (since I made that Chaos Wave thing), and even when I do, I spend it designing a game.
