GS has moved to a new server... no longer hosted by me anymore!

@Scruff Bunch Oh, I thought I recognised your fizzog but the beard was putting me off! What aliases did you use before? Welcome back to GS anyhoo!

We just need to give it a bit more time to get user interactivity going. We are attracting quite a few new members so the site will grow organically. The actual guest/visitor count is pretty high - between 5000-10000 per day.

Game content is just for fun but we will try and encourage more intersting unique content and debates.

@rnd256 Thanks for your encouraging words too!

I enjoy the games, but would like to see more diverse topics.

A while ago I was posting threads on various topics, but would get almost no replies, so I stopped.

Does running this place actually cost you money? What percentage of the visitor account becomes people who actually create accounts and actively post, against those who create accounts and then forget and never return, AND against those who never even create accounts in the first place?

So it's not just me then, this is exactly why I gradually lost interest. Long ago, I would try to post actual topics of conversation, which would mostly get ignored. That alone is disappointing enough, but it became frustrating when seeing those stupid game threads receiving a lot of activity. Now this is a personal view of course, but I have always hated those game threads. To me, they do not really encourage any depth of connection or conversation - it is all very fleeting and trivial. So I became dispondent and failed to see the point in attempting to make topical threads when people only seemed to be interested in playing silly games. "You're banned because..." really???

The site will only be as active as members here make it.

I intend on trying to be here daily, posting topics all through June, in honor of Pride month. If others don't respond, it's beyond my control.

I would like to see some more new threads and topics here.
