Well, frankly this site has seen a shift of interest - people (like yourself) seem to be more interested in what books and games and movies other people like, and less interested in participating in developing magic strategies and techniques. Now I'm not going to advocate for which is a better pursuit, but realize that this is a site called "MTG Combos". If I want to talk about my interests online, I'm going to do it on sites whose function is for social interaction. People (crazily) come to this site for Magic-related topics. That's why they're sticking to it.

What's been happening however, is that many people (Turbine, DyingJester, etc.) have noticed this shift and have abandoned this site for many of the other Magic sites out there that will actually discuss Magic. And they're not the first. Many "veterans" of this site have been slowly and slowly disappearing. I've seen little of SirZapdos, Shakii, TwoGunKid, and many many others for some time, and I don't think they're going to start coming back. With the major contributors leaving, this site sort of (in the past few weeks) came to be more about the forum, and less about anything else.

Now people are bored or tired of commenting about their persona life, and this site will be stagnant for a good time. Less people proposing combos, less people commenting on forums. You could call it the life cycle of this site. Perhaps things will pick up again. And then again, perhaps not.

Correct...

This happens usually around christmas time...

The spark fades, but it always comes back...

With overtime shifts and family obligations, things get a little...hard to manage this time of year...true story...I've lived it...

But things always go back to normal after the month of stagnation...I'd recommend finding something else a tad more...fun...

Me personally...I'm taking up League of Legends and Warhammer 40k for a bit...

Tyranids...so many Tyranids...ALL THE TYRANIDS!
But yeah...this happened last year...and the year before that...and so on and so forth...

It's a cycle...and the fact that New Phyrexia rotated out...did not help matters mtg-wise...It gave us anticipation for a new block...and speculation...well...it's just boring...When the new set previews come out...things will pick up...

But for now...it's just...

Boredom...

;D

If this site is for magic only then why is there a general chat section? Hmm maybe for people that want to talk about whatever they want?

So, since the thing that started all of this was you suggesting that my idea of making this place better through conflict wrong, are you now admitting that I was right in the first place?

Or are you just using a thing I'm saying right now to excuse your spazzy behaviour? :)

You mean the one where you said you'd act like a spaz, because you thought it would kill the forum?

This place will survive you acting like a baby, Knucklebarf. :D

:D Well, one of us will, anyways.

So if you're not pimping away, what are you doing, Knarf?

Or, at least, what is it that you think you're doing?

No, you answer that, Knarf. If you are not pimping away, right here, right now, what are you doing?

Would you be willing to let the forum decide which of us is pimping away?

Because I sure am. :D

Yeah, that's not a functional English sentence, idiot. :D

So you're saying that you're not right enough to let others examine the evidence. 

I mean, that's an understandable sentiment, considering you're still pretending that you haven't been smacked around a lot over the last few days.

*smacks the pipe from knarf" I'm the only one allowed to have a pipe in here. *takes a long drag from said pipe* and as for who is pimping away, knarf, the award for pimping away goes to you. *thunderous applause* Sorry Academic. No prize for not pimping away.
