Most users that complain about it joined when MW2 was out and modding it was a big deal, now they see all these other sections and the MW2 section not doing well.

I believe the site is one of its most active stages now that the All Time High leader board is here. Once the newer gen consoles are modded the site will be booming more than it is now!

with the merger of sections its hard to keep off topic how it used to be...

The site changed from a jtag forum with some odd/general sections to more of a general forum.
This has attracted a whole different demographic.

When I complain about inactivity it's typically when I look through the Off-Topic section and I see the caliber and quantity of posts being made as opposed to what it once was.

Rules change, people grow up, members get banned, the site adapts to different crowds.

The JTAG days will be missed for sure, but like you said the site adapts to new crowds. Shouldn't users adapt to the new TTG as well?? we have to move on eventually lol.

That's exactly what is happening. People are either moving on or adapting to the "new" site.
Nostalgia is just a bitch and people remember the site as something amazing when in reality it was always just a tech related forum. Just because jtag stuff is somewhat on the backburner doesn't make this a brand new or dead site. I just want the off-topic rules back and I'll be pleased, but I feel like they've been relaxed to encourage posting, even if it is lower quality in general.

While this is obviously true, the rules for the General section of Off-Topic are much more relaxed than the old General Discussion rules. While there's plus sides to this, I personally feel as if there should be some more limitations in place to discourage completely garbage posts, but that's personal opinion. To me "What's your favorite soda?" seems a bit ridiculous.

I'm kind of losing track here, I disagree with the fact that the site is at all dying. But I'd be lying if I didn't admit that some of the changes may not be ones I agree with. And this may have been a factor in losing some of the ttg "veterans" throughout the transition.

Lug wrote I agree, TTG is definitely not dead. The CoD section just isn't poppin' as it used to. I'd like to see that happen again, so we can be more "active." < Tis a joke. But, it'd be fun to see something big blow up and having TTG be the go to for it. Soon.. Soon my friends..

Don't be all cryptic and weird, everyone is hoping exploits for the next gen consoles "revives" the site, this isn't some big secret.

100% agree. I see some bogus posts being made in this section. It would be great to see a clean up!

You see all these posts?

How is that dead?

TTG is far away from dead my friends.
