Not a lot to say here, but I was just wondering...
Is Dreamviews in a slump right now? It seems like there is so little activity, and I'm at a loss as to why. Is it finals? The news? Global cooling? Has KingYoshi been gone too long?
Ah, whatever it is, I wish I knew! 'Cause a dead DV is... a dead DV.
Not good.
Oh, and if DV is in a slump, does that happen regularly?
The site was down for a while, as well as being hacked before that. But yes, even before that there seemed to be dwindling activity.
Not sure why.

Some of my favourites haven't posted in a while, (Like Waking Nomad). But when ALEX sent out his hacked and hyjacked Mass email there were 50,504 members, (March 1).
Now, (May 3) look! There is 51,795.
1,291 new registered in 64 days Wow!

People chatting instead of typing?
That crossed my mind as well.Quote:

I noticed the server change having some impact as well, but that's just in the last week.
I notice several members keep popping up in chat that just figured out that we changed servers.
it's been going downhill for a whileyeah, I think a lot of the activity has just been moving to IRC lately. That and I don't pay enough attention to the on-topic forums anymore.
So... the bug guys aren't all here, it was already loosing it, and IRC.
Rats. I was hoping it'd be a reason I could help with more. :/
Oh, just wait until autumn comes around; we'll have plenty of
new members => plenty of activity. Isn't it an unwritten law
that DV gets lots of new members during the fall?
reci's got it accurate
this happens really regularly. late spring into summer is our downtime, and we spike up bigtime fall and onwards
looking back on it, Asher probably sold this thing at the best time possible, saying "oi look we've got this massive upswing and it's still growing who wants this bitch on the cheap"
and then Alex fell for the soultrap that is DV
the hack probably didn't help either
Yep, fuck.Quote:

Yeah I'm limiting my time. Might even request a ban in a bit, though I'm being fairly disciplined at the mo.
I've been gone too but for reasons that wouldn't explain everyone's absence. This surprises me because I'd expect the opposite. More people signing up and frequenting the site upon school being out. Was it like this last year at this time?
I'm baffled that you can't effortlessly do everything at once.Quote:
