Ok......GP....is dead. Honestly, i don't want to be part of a forum like this. I have some advice for the admins. There are three ways this problem can be solved.

1. Create a website on KH/FF and become affiliates with a successful site.

2. Join a lot of forums just to send messages to the members telling them to come here like u kept doing at KHI which eventually banned u and made the word gamerz-place censored.

3. Just stop. Shut down the site. You're paying a lot for a dead forum trying to keep it alive. Stop. Sure we'll miss our old friends, but who cares. We all have lives and real friends in real life. Maybe we can all migrate to a new forum. I've given up on GP, and have decided that my time on the computer shouldn't be wasted on a forum like this.


I'm starting to remember why i left GP a while back. GP is dead and will stay dead. There's nothing we can do. The first two ideas are good, but will not happen....we're done. By March of next year, undoubtfully, this site will meet its inevitable fate. Many of you who will post in this will say "No, there has to be something we can do" but deep down, you know that i'm right. And honestly, how many of us will miss the forums? Posting up threads that never get read. Making RPs that die within 3 months. Not because they're bad, but because people stop coming. Let me show you what a successful forum is like:

At the moment i'm writing this post, I am the only one on GP. There are 255 people on KHI Forums rght now. We have only about 70 active users, and only about 15 come occasionally. KHI forums has 25,233 active users and at least 1000 different ones come to the site EACH DAY. Now if you saw these statistics without being a member of either forum, which one would you like to join? Ask anyone who likes KH if they've heard of KHI. "Of course," they'd say. Now ask them about GP. "WTF?" Hands down statistically, KHI is the most successful videogame forum on the web.

We are done. Shut down the site. Let it be forgotten. Nitz and other supporters, your wasting your money. Everyone else, your wasting your time. I think its time we all faced the music and kicked GP to the curb.

Goodbye GP. Goodbye old friends. Goodbye RPs. Your done. We're done. I'm done.

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FRIKKEN MIND!!!!!

Why would anyone want to shut down GP? I mean, sure, other sites have alot more members, but that doesn't mean we just need to give up. There's no way that one of those more active forums didn't go through this atleast once. And how did they get through it? THEY STUCK WITH IT THROUGH THE GOOD AND THE BAD!

I'm pretty sure that I'm not just speaking for myself when I say "DOWN WITH THIS IDEA"! We have to stick with the forums until things improve. Also, that 2nd ide is known as spamming, which I'm sure none of our Admins would want to take part in, and also, have you ever noticed how that almost never works?

As for your first idea why not just get some affiliates for this site. Why make a new site just for something like that. It's pretty damn easy to ask someone to make their site an affiliate. And even if they do say no, you can just keep asking other sites. And they don't really have to be all that big either, even a small forum would help us out.

Plus, it's also kinda nice being a smaller site. Not a ton of n00bs will know about us wich means less spam, and with this size, unlike those other huge sites, you can actually take the time to get to know most of the people, which would be almost impossible to do on a site like KHI. I personally like GP being this size, although we could use more members.

But until then, we just have to stay with what we've got. And there are things that can be done, we just have to keep trying. More people need to help recruit instead of just giving up on the site. I've reccomended tons of people, and hey, only a few of them have joined, but atleast I keep trying.

And maybe I am just holding empty hope, but it's better than having no hope at all. I'm gonna stay with it until the end, even if that end is very near. Heck, in a few months I may even be one of the only 3 to 9 (just an estimate) members that actually stay active. But, until Nitz shuts down the forum, I'm staying, and I say we should keep with it and stay until no members are active at all.

Wise words RF!!!! I agree with each and every little thing you said.

Well I'm sure Gamerz-Place is not going to die and I hope it doesn't get shut down because it's an awesome place to be and it has the coolest people.

GP will go on because:

1. I've been in many forums (too many to count) and GP is my fav, there must be a reazon for that. I've been in big forums and smaller ones and I always liked the ones with less members, they are usually funner; people fight too much in big forums.

2. GP is not dead at all, it's summer and people aren't on as much. But I'm sure things will get better when the RPG is up.

3. Staff will not abandon GP, we would go down with it, if we had to.

4. We never stop advertising; just the other day kara and I were talking to someone and we got him to join GP. People like our spirit and get curious about the forums. It's way easy to get members everywhere and especially on msn.

5. As long as there is one person fighting for GP, it won't go down. And I'm not giving up. I agree with RF, instead of abandon the ship we just need to find solutions for problems.

And please keep in mind that summer is a down season on every forum and since we don't have many active members it shows a bit more.

I think that's all I have to say for now, you're my dear brother Riku but I disagree with you. ^^

I say GP for life, no matter what!

Interesting....

You have a good point, maybe we should just abandon the forum. Give up all hope, and just go our seperate ways. Its a good idea, in fact its a great idea, i am sure any normal person would take that way out, as you have stated you would.

But you see here is the thing.... most of us here..... aren't normal, And we are dam proud of it. Just ask anyone here. Lalaith will admit it lol, as well as myself, and Tsukasa. Nitz isn't normal by any means XD but thats good. Fushion... well you have seen those little picture battles him and george have lol. So the point is, that you are free to go if you wish, however the forum isn't getting shut down. Yea its small, and we dont have a website, and the rp section comes and goes, but think about this. Have you seen the rules they have to enforce in the khi rp section? Posts have to be so long, and so detailed and such, its like hitler is running a forum. Yea they are active, but they are all morons who have no idea who anyone else is, and if they dont know who gamerz-place is, well then have them ask the admins why they cant talk about it anymore : )

Thats my share, i have said all i have to say. One last thing though... as for advertisement... Spamming advertisment is wrong, and stupid, and totaly uncalled for. however, posting it in your sig isnt against the rules : ) all you have to do is say its a good site you have been to.

k im out now. Later

I'll never give up on Gamerz-Place, thats too easy for this fox. It might look like its over, but remeber there's always other paths, so I see a path that'll keep GP alive. Anyways, during the Summers GP kind goes to sleep, it did the same thing Last summer.

Truth is, I've been with GP for too long and made to many firends here to just give up yet.

(Sortest post here...YA FOR ME XD)

Terra, if you think any one of us would just give up on this site, you're a ****ing moron, OK? We will not abandon GP. Simple. Sorry I have to be the one to be so blunt, but I really have to get this point across.

I can see your points but #1.. KH wasn't advertised by any staff here. Kadaj a former staff member advertised there and I have to say.. he did pretty good for recuriting. I don't know if spaming someone's forum via PM will help...

We actually are everywhere on google search engine and also yahoo engine. We have TONS of guests veiwing daily, mabye 50 per a day and a few of them have signed up. Many people have tried to recurit members.

Giving up on something is never the way to go.. if you WANT something changed.. do it your self.. If you see less activity.. than create threads.. starts discussions.. what are you expecting? that someone else has to do all the work? MEMBERS have to share the load.. people have to create discussions.. don't expect that magically threads will be created.. sometimes YOU!! yourself have to step it up and do something...

I know all of the staff and many members won't give up on GP. We still have a long way to go as a forum and site, but that takes time and people... Terra if you REALLY have issues with the place, you can do something about it.. it only takes 1 member to make a change... or atleast to start a change, so other members follow...

I know 1 thing, though I won't be giving up even with college in the way. GP is here and is the future, but only if everyone plays a role in it...

Nitz and everyone,

I've tried. Look how many threads i've posted trying to change something. Look how many replies they got and how fast it took for them to die. I've tried. I've recomended the site to a bunch of people. Nothing is working. I'm sick of trying so hard to keep something alive that's doomed to die. I don't want to leave, i prefer this to KHI any day. But i want a forum with people who post in threads other than forum games. I love the RPs here and the people. I don't really know anyone at KHI and i know everyone here. But the thing is, i want activity. I've tried to change things but its not working, so i give up.

Then you should create a thread about IMPROVING things.. not about "oh.. i tried i give up.. cuz that's what I like about life.. giving up if things don't work out.." People that think this way NEVER get far or ahead in life in the future..

If you noticed problems, then you should create a suggestion thread.. and say "hey members.. there is a problem going on WHAT should be do about it..."

And the boss as spoken!! *agrees... and agrees once again with everyone except you Riku*

I don't want to leave, i prefer this to KHI any day. But i want a forum with people who post in threads other than forum games. I love the RPs here and the people. I don't really know anyone at KHI and i know everyone here. But the thing is, i want activity. I've tried to change things but its not working, so i give up.

You just named all the reasons why you shouldn't leave so I don't understand why you'd have to go to a place you don't like as much.

Giving up will never solve a problem. You say you've worked hard to keep GP active, great, that's awesome. But if you like it here then you must Keep trying.

Ok, i've been called crazy for putting this up. I've been called a lot of things in my life...most of them are true, but one thing i'm not is a giver uper. I work for things. But i know when it's not worth it. I love this place and hate to see it die. I've tried, and i'll try again, but i think it is a futile attempt.

do you know HOW many people and admins thought the same thing 1 year ago... they thought the forum would die that month.. and yte 2 months after that date.. we had the biggest member increase in all records on GP... now those admins come by and think "boy do i feel stupid.. i left thiking the place would die.. but it's got more members now.. and I gave up my admin spot" Now most of those admins can't even get a admin job on other forums.. let alone a mod job..

WHY? because they gave up.. when the impossible was made possible.. heck if I had more time I'd work on a site.. but I'm in college and I don't have time to shuffle from HW to GP. College is more important or atleast at a higher priority for me.. it's my future, which can change GP later on... I finish my college, I could afford my own server for GP, no more lag ever!!! or downtime...unlimited arcade games etc...

Not 1 person can make a difference.. 1 person can start somethinbg, but many have to join in and help for something to happen....

Terra....you've said some stupid things, but this is by far the stupidest thing you have ever thought. In the year I've been here this site has never once seemed dead. You can't honestly call it dead if there's people on here. Dead is when you're the only one to visit the site in a month. Basically, this site can't be deleted due to the fact that since it still has active members, there's always hope. and also, in the time I've been here, I have never heard one person complain that this site sucked or anything, so the fact that people like it here means that it's too good to be deleted.(I'd know if someone complained. I got like...photographic memory about things like conversations)

Advertising by spam PMs isn't liked by most people, so doing that will just piss people off. Trust me. Also, a main problem with asking people to join is usually they don't(or the people I've asked don't. They always make up lame excuses....)

Also, I know alot of KH freaks who don't know of KHI. you fail by saying that all of them do.

Dude. All i really can say is basically if your so downbeat on the situation wouldn't this motivate you work harder? If the site was dead would I be here? Better question, would you be here if it was dead? Activity revolves around the people that are on and interact. So long as there are those that rest within the confines of GP it's not really going to die anytime soon.

Advertising Spam through PMs = Epic Fail

nuff said.

Spreading the word by different means often becomes necessary, when you give up now your not doing much except breaking a commitment you put forward dude. Think on it bro, your just downbeat mostly due to the slowness, yet you still here are you not? Thats how we know with some hindering sense that your in denial. GP will be alive so long as we have the faithful, hell I've been on since last year August and I'm STILL HERE! I don't plan on leaving man, and you shouldn't either.

Reply 18. 3 pages in a couple of hours on this thread.I think this means something.

If Gamerz-Place was dead, you wouldn't have had so many responses, don't you agree with me? And you'll get more tomorrow, believe it.

These are the people who support GP, the people who won't let it die... ever. You may give up now but you'll regret it later. Gaara is so right, I also told about the site to lots of people, only two joined... but have I given up? No, I keep trying. And about posting, as Fusion says, people work, have school... but when they are on, they post. Each morning when I get here there are lots of new posts. I have to be on at the weirdest hours but I'm still here and I post everyday. I may not post in the best places for you but I do post. And so does everybody else.

I see old members coming back, I see new members joining, do you think they'd join a dead place just for the heck of it? Of course not. And even you... if you were to leave, you'd already left but you didn't, you know why? Because there is something called loyalty, that's what has kept us together. That's what makes this place a home for the GP familly.

I want to stay to see the day that Harry's talking about, the day he's able to afford the best for this place. But even if that day wouldn't come, I'd still be here.

Thank you to everyone who has posted in this thread showing our love for GP. As long as we all stay here this place won't die.

Terra, I must say..What has gotten into you?! I have to make this brief for its early in the morning. But i can honestly say your crazy for leaving if you do! GP is like a familly that sticks together! Not like a seperate amount of ppl not communicating or talking. And yes I have to totally agree with Lalaith! Do you think that if this thread had no replies then GP could mabe be considered dead?

HMMMMMMMMM wow 3 pages ALREADY! ^-^ Dude come on GP is far from dead. And look at how many willing members want to stay and help support GP.

If you want to leave we cant make you stay, but apart on all of GP. I find your post offensive, and I'm just defending what GP really is! We would love if your mind turned, then again we cant do that. Honestly though. I may post more later, i must get going.

Please consider the members thoughts, I do not certainly see anyone else wanting to abandon a community like this one..=/

I have to smile.

I knew this thread would attract people and have them post. But in only hours, 3 pages were written. I hadn't expected that. I am happy to say, i was wrong. GP is far from dead. I'm glad to see how all of you feel so strongly about this. I was never going to leave (although i considered it) and i don't even agree with half the stuff i said. But hey, look at how this got you to all post. I hope this made a difference in people's posting habits. Sorry Serenity and anyone else i may have offended. And the rest of you, thank you for your...."kind" words. Nitz, if your too busy to webmaster a site, i can help you out, and i'm sure that the rest of us wouldn't mind working harder to get members and make ths site as successful (and maybe more successful) than KHI. My words were a little harsh, but i thought it would be good motivation to work harder. I would never give up on GP. This place is my home and (As stated before) this is my family. And like all above, i would never abandon it =]
