Why do you guys think posting is down all of a sudden. The first half of August seemed to be fine but all of a sudden it seems like posting is down quite a bit.

Anyone have any ideas?

Anyone up for posting a bunch with me for the rest of August? I feel like I've got the posting bug going but there just isn't much to post on right now. People aren't asking me questions in my ask anything thread and it seems like general forum activity is about half what it usually is.

Let's turn that around!

geeogree : perhaps it has to do with kids going back to school, or maybe people are busy doing other stuff and don't have as much time? As for me, I've been posting a decent amount. Nowhere near as much as TDV time, but still an ok amount.

gamerforlifeforever2 : kids are back in school???? I must have missed something. I have school aged kids and they don't go back to school until September.... that's only a week and a half away but it's not started yet...

That actually might explain it. Hopefully it doesn't stay this slow forever. If it does I might not hire any new mods for a while....

geeogree : surprisingly enough, there were some schools that opened back up last week and the week before. I remember the days when school didn't open until right before Labor Day. This stuff seems to keep getting earlier and earlier...

It's clearly because I got active-ish. No one likes a Fraudlex. I must've scared them all away.

In seriousness, I'd guess school.

gamerforlifeforever2 : yeah, that's how it is for my kids.

Frodlex : maybe.... that happens sometimes. I find the times when I want to get really active things have died down. Pretty sad not to have anywhere to post

Barathemos : how is the start of school crazy busy? I always remember the first week or so of school being pretty relaxed. Until college at least. Then they didn't care what day it was they were teaching you something every day you were there

geeogree : Because it's not 1995 anymore... The school systems have changed drastically, and pack everything into the first few months then do nothing else. It's completely different from how it used to be.

thanks for making me feel old

So, the early months are busy and the rest of the year is slow? That does seem strange....

I don't envy you guys going to school now. All the things I hear make it sound royally screwed up.

Well I'm in. I've been contemplating getting a few friends to post a bit more with me anyway, and this looks like the perfect opportunity to quit being lazy and do it. I want to hit 150-200 posts this month, so... Bring on the sprees.

As for school, it started a week ago here. That probably does explain the drop in activity. Us geezers need to step it up, geeo. xD

Eirinn : that's what I'm trying to do. It's tough though when the majority of members are still in school in some form and don't have free time to post right now.

The majority of the threads either bore me to death or are newbie threads where everyone has already posted because they watch the new posts multiple hours a day. Posting for the most part just seems redundant in my position. Maybe other people have started feeling the same way.

Frodlex : if you use the "new posts" feature then I could see the problem with that.


I just started going forum by forum and picking out 1 or 2 threads that are open and posting in them. Obviously not every forum cause I have nothing to contribute to the pokemon forum. Still, I have always found this to be a better way to post than looking at what was just posted in to find a place to post.

geeogree : It can't be because of kids going back to school, last August around this time was averaging about 400 posts a day, with still more than 300 a day in September, but right now we're only averaging abut 150-200 per day, which is about 50-100 down from the start of the month.

What's odd is that activity itself isn't down, in fact over the last 6 days there's been more than a million views 5 times, yet during the entire month of July, the TDV month, there was only 1 day with a million views.

It is really hard to post now though, the posts aren't really the problem, it's the amount of new threads made per day which is much lower than normal.

That's strange. I wonder what is different from last year to this year. Obviously membership has changed because we have different people posting now than a year ago but there has to be something else....

I'm sure school is part of it but from what you're saying not all of it.


I personally am having no problem finding places to post. There are 30+ open threads per forum. Even 2 posts per forum and you've got 50+ posts which is easy to do. I'm at 32 with this reply on the day which is pretty high for me....

You would have to look at the demographic of the site regarding members (and I don't count those who just come on here for the games, or barely post just to get a member status, or those who just post when they have a question). For the kids, yes, it is quite common for school to start around late August/early September. You also need to consider that there is a time period that people need to prepare for the first weeks of school, so that would take up the weeks before the first week. It's not that the first week of school is the busiest, but that some people might want to start out well and not fall behind so quickly.

Other than that, summer has always been giving people opportunities to go on vacation and be off the computer at times. And then when people come back, they would focus more on catching up with friends on here, but just because people have more time during the summer doesn't mean that people will post more. I think that for this site, if there is a larger focus on the forums and the use of the forums, the posting shouldn't decrease drastically. There may be bumps and declines here and there, but once people's lives get back to status quo, it should stay steady high if people have a routine in posting on the forums in the first place.

Frodlex : fair enough.... lots of people do use it and then complain they have nothing to post on.... it's not a great way to find new places to post


play4fun : fair enough. I don't want to take the time to dig that in depth into the causes. It's usually the general reasons that account for most of the variation since they affect the most people (like going back to or getting ready to go back to school).

Hopefully things do pick up in the next few weeks as people get settled back into normal routines again. It's weird for me because I don't have the summer "off" anymore so my schedule is always consistent year round.

Just like some users said, this isn't a TdV month and to some users, they don't care about posting unless it's a TdV month and they all post 3 months worth of posting in a single month, plus also school is starting, that is why activity is getting less and less.

I basically running out of threads to post in because not a whole lot of users are making new threads now a days than it was this time last year, which is a decline, and with a big site like Vizzed, that's strange.

Vizzed.com is very expensive to keep alive! The Ads pay for the servers.

Vizzed has 3 TB worth of games and 1 TB worth of music.  This site is free to use but the ads barely pay for the monthly server fees.  If too many more people use ad block, the site cannot survive.

We prioritize the community over the site profits.  This is why we avoid using annoying (but high paying) ads like most other sites which include popups, obnoxious sounds and animations, malware, and other forms of intrusiveness.  We'll do our part to never resort to these types of ads, please do your part by helping support this site by adding Vizzed.com to your ad blocking whitelist.
