I've been thinking...

You know, a lot of good members have left. And the site feels like it's kinda lost it's appeal to me or something. I actually spend more time in the shoutbox then I would do other things. This isn't a "leaving" thread or anything, I just feel that the site isn't as great as it use to be. Something just feels odd to me. And I don't know what it is.

It feels like I should say more....but I can't seem to think of what too say.

I can't say I've found the standard of general discussion, has particularly changed for better or for worse during my membership.

Heh, I guess you could say that.

Something just feels odd to me is all.

Agreed.

I only regret a few people not being as active (GOLI WHERE ARE YOU) but this whole "The site was SOOOO much better back in the day" talks makes people sound like hipster douches.

Although the amount of weaboos here has increased significantly. At times I feel like I'm the only non-weaboo, minus some of the other staff.

Yeah, you're probably right :lol:. Something just feels odd to me really. Really can't say what it is though.

The site always goes through periods where select people leave, its been a cycle that has happened every year.
Sure helpful people leave, but helpful people come as well. That's how it has always been.

I ignore most weeaboos on this site because they are simply embarrassing (like that one guy who calls himself a death God or something)

This has actually in my head for quite awhile now, I know that members come and go, but I just felt like I should say what was in my head, it was kinda giving me a headache.

I don't know what you're talking about, the more I come here, the more I see the same people over and over lol. The only one who I don't see is Monkat, but that's not a bad thing (for me at least).

Monkat got banned for posting pr0n if IRC. So he hasn't got much of a choice.

I have noticed no significant change in this site for a very long time. Good members come, some go. Idiots come, some go. Some change their name be retarded AND l33tspeak and then eventually get their asses banned for literally being too stupid to post on GBAtemp...*ahem, sorry, rambling.

Sites like this fluctuate with the scene in which they're related to. When the GBA and then DS scenes were most active with new games and developments, GBAtemp was consequently likely to receive a boost from that enthusiasm.

Things feel fallow now because it feels a bit like we're running on empty waiting for the next big thing. If the 3DS was suddenly exploited and a load of new exciting games and homebrew was released, encouraging new faces to pop up you'd most definitely see a resurgence.

Honestly, I feel like this site has been going downhill for the past year and a half or so. I felt that it was mainly a video game/hacking/modding discussion forum when I first came here, but now, it just feels like a social/off topic forum half the time.

Being here for 2 years and telling how things have changed. I lol'd. There are blogs and offtopic for people to post that stuff. And it's not going "down", it's just changing

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Kodi repost are still pretty popular
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
