Is Comic Vine Losing its Charm?

Now, I'm not saying that I don't like Comic Vine but recently I've begun to feel it may not be as fun as it was a few months back. I haven't been here as long as some users but, from my personal experience, it feels that activity has died down a bit compared to a while ago. You don't wake up to find as many notifications thread quality seems to be going down as many topics have already been covered, etc. What do you think, am I just being a downer or is there validity in my thinking?

No you

Activity is still high. Just the amount of people that have posts worth looking at has decreased.

Wait for AoU to come out, or any big CBM and activity skyrockets.

The community has taken a step back (once the Mods ban some alts it should be cleaned up a bit)

I don't think so.

We have slumps sometimes, and also users we're fond of leaving here and there. So definitely sometimes it does feel that way, but it always seems to pick back up again eventually (she says, with desperation in her eyes O_O).

haha.

Old users leave, new ones arrive. Things will be ever changing, but it will remain largely the same.

Activity goes up and down. And like xNahtebx said, peeps sometimes leave, and that's sad. The good thing is there is always cool new people coming in.

@laflux: Pffft, drink my tears why don't you :P

It's just not the same! *grieves* XD

I think comicvine is still pretty great. Maybe not as great as in previous times, but still great. Its still a great place to talk about comic books

Sometimes you just have to hold the moments you had with them and be thankful you had them for a little while.

@thursday_next: Yeah you're probably right. Wise as always dear <3

Pretty much.

News for comics is kind of at a low, nothing really crazy has been announced, just a bunch of rumors. Just wait for some DC trailers to drop and more Marvel reveals and this site will get pretty busy.

@thursday_next: And so modest too :)

I feel that way sometimes... I just shake it off though.

@xnahtebx:

Save it for JDate. My user name is IDontWantToDieAlone.

JK : P

@thursday_next: Expect a friend request from SomebodyPleaseTouchMe XD

@xnahtebx:

You must be popular there. Most of those users are kinda needy.

@thursday_next: You'd think so, but I don't really do needy. Unless you want me to be needy? I can try my best to be if that's what you want...DON'T LEAVE ME I'M SO SCARED

>:P

@xnahtebx: Can you act needy without actually being needy? Cause bizarrely that is my kink. That and dolphin costumes.

It has gotten boring

@thursday_next: You bet your @ss I can! ;) *wiggles flippers seductively*

@xnahtebx:

Oh my stars. I'm feeling faint and such. I'm going to watch some old Flipper episodes because....reasons...

<_<

>_>

Same.

I love pancakes

I get Comic Vine fatigue from time to time. I find myself responding to a thread and the second it takes more effort or thought than I'm willing to exert, I just close the tab.

I want DS back

Eh

CV goes through phases, perhaps this phase just isn't for you. Atm, is is rather mild, and a lot of relatively low posting members make up the boards, but that will change with time.

Just like when there was a phase where every third post was a tournament, where there was a lot more trolling/joking, where there was a ge*st invasion, where debaters were going into CaVs with clearly inferior characters and winning off sheer skill, and of course when sandwich jokes/woman in the kitchen jokes were on every thread, this current generation of comic vine has its charm and it's flaws.

@thedandyman: yes its lost its charm. also it maybe my fault since im a jinx lol xp......some people quit

@hopesummersforthefuture: So if, say, a horrible accident took place and you were no longer around...I guess that would mean we would no longer have to suffer under your jinx, eh?

LOL

It would have to have it first to lose it.

You're just getting used to it.

Nostalgia is playing in your backyard closet brah.

death_stroker?

Hehe.

@eisenfauste: yup

I don't think the site itself is changing that much, just that you may getting bored of it. I was like that for a little bit. I just took a several month vacation and came back and it was as good as new.

The glitches are still making me feel bad,

No. Actually it's improved for me ever since I ventured to the Off-Topic section

No, but the increasing glitches are really annoying.
