The quality declining because people like you don't contribute regularly not because of kapooras thread which I created for a healthy discussion. [emoji18]

Thank you so very much for making an apearance.
You are missed pretty badly man, where have you been all this time.
I have been here for quite a long while and I've seen the engagement go down drastically especially in what I would call more "technical" topics. Maybe its because everyone from that era has grown up, heck even I don't get time now because of med school. Maybe its because newer members aren't as good as the ones from the 2009 era and before. I would coincide this with the fall in the PC gaming community that I've seen. When MBL servers still existed, there used to be an entire organized community for Team Fortress 2, Counter Strike Source etc but that has all but disappeared now. In that era there used to be multiple discussion boards, I remember WorldCall's own discussion board, Wild Cows Consume Kebabs (WCCK), MBL discussion board etc and all were highly active in those days. Now except for PG, all of them have faded away.
Heck even the PC Hardware community has all but faded away and the effects can be seen on the market. There used to be so many brands a few years ago, XFX, HIS, Gigabyte, ASRock, EVGA, MIS, Asus etc but now all you see is either Gigabyte or Asus because the demand is so low. The LGA 755 days were golden and the prime time for PG I would say.

PG is going down, mostly because the people who once kept it active were bachelors then, now most of them are married or started their careers and are AFK... i've been here since 2009, signed up in 2010, i was most active in sports and battlefield section but now seems like both of them are dead. But im still addictive to it. There is a huge community of pakistani gamers out there who either stay on TS or in their own little dens, maybe it's time we create something and bring of all them together.
PG is more of a buy and sell now.

NOTE: I'm not saying that it was ammar.
wtf is the pahari bakra thread?
also isn't the creater generally the OP of the thread? :crazy:
Old COD4 community in 2007-2010 was also here in Pakgamers and from Q6600 processor to variety of CPU coolers and from 2010-2015 was a time everyone built gaming rigs and tried out new stuff.
Gaming was a driving force behind technical knowledge and smartphones weren't good enough to distract you from PC screen. Now the time is changing for mobile platform as well as consoles are getting cheaper and much more powerful.
Future is mobility as well as console gaming is getting more and more focus. New generation takes everything for granted and that's why we are seeing a decline in quality of threads and less technical knowledge across the board. We didn't have 8-10MB connections, MBL 1 MB was capped at 2GB, remember that ?
Being able to play latest games with good frame rate was a luxury very few could afford. Now that it's a non-issue now a days so discussions have shifted towards brain fart threads.
Awww Thank you so much Dear Bro

Oh yes I remember the Metal clan and BOOM from those days. I think PC hardware used to be a lot less efficient in those days, people were pushing their Q6600s and E8400s past their limits making up for most activity in the PC enthusiasts section but now there's pretty much no need to overclock newer hardware because its a lot more efficient so you wont see much threads about CPU coolers, customer water cooling kits etc. Same goes for GPUs.
I remember all those old players. I personally used E8400 and Q6600 processors. Though it's old school now.
PG has a lot of room to grow. The fact that it has survived for so long is an example. It depends on community though. Teens and bachelors are main users and old souls like us feel lost here.

People just don't talk about games anymore. You go to gaming section and it's just full of news posts. No discussions. It's not like people don't play games or don't want to discuss it, it's just that they don't bother to do so on Pakgamers. I fail to understand why that is so?
Well there is yes and no answer for that yes it did progress but no it didn't progress the way it should have by now
i saw great improvement in Nanow regime as he was pushing really hard to doing things great for the community no offence to anyone but i haven't seen anyone taking forward that
what i noticed from both era old and new ppl now isn't that hardworking that used to be i don't see official thread for most of the stuff that there should have been there
as it requires hard work to setup where as new users don't wanna invest time on it not everything moderators will do as the community is run by there users and managed by Moderators and back then ppl used to do these things with there own will
The only thing grown up by time is Marketplace you search for new threads you get the list of threads WTS WTB item so it shows there is more of Selling/buying then Discussions further ppl are moving to social media and discussions are usually done there where PG Lacks
we don't have the quality member what used to be on that day the hardware zone was very active ppl used to share discuss and help each others now you don't find that there if you are expecting mods will do all that , that is not possible as i said earlier community is run by there users,
the old users have laid the path for the new users which they can adapt and take over as old users used to do lots of hardwork for the community rather than complain i still see top10 posters are still those old ppl which should have been replaced by new users so it is quite evident ppl are not involved in discussions and doesn't even create topic for that i visits the forum and look for threads if i can find something which i can do some participation and don't find any thing to be discussed about
few ppl blaming about moderation and getting bans i have been here for long time and not once got banned so if you are doing anything wrong which is not allowed by rules you are inviting yourself for it that is lot more to write about but i guess i am stopping it here

as i said ppl are lazy enough not to indulge in any discussion and not hardworking like old ppl used to be,
Exactly gamers numbers have grown by time the new generation is into gaming so you cannot complain that ppl are not into games and there is nothing to discuss
Maybe because gaming has become more mainstream now than before. In the past, forums like PG were more likely to elicit excitement in users who stumbled upon it because of the relative exclusivity of gamers and thus of a forum for gamers in Pakistan. People used to join it with enthusiasm, thinking "OMG! fellow pakistani gamers!".
Also, the users were fewer but extremely regular, which further helped to accentuate the atmosphere of exclusivity of the sort attached to a cool, small club. Each user participating in a discussion easily recognized every other, because it was pretty much the same group of regular guys talking daily in threads. Many were aware of gaming interests of each other and that added to the quality of discussion/debate. It used to be a much more closely-knit community. This isn't true anymore. Now with the much greater number of users, you see a new face in every other thread and hardly anyone is a regular participant. They come and go. Sustaining discussions is a lot more difficult now, discouraging enthusiastic participation.

tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.Necrokiller said: -

It has a worst rating on Steam than last years MW3 now. Jeese Sony, how can you fuck it up THIS BAD

faraany3k:
I have heard that it is now unplayable in countries which do not support handful of third world countries not recognized by Sony like Pakistan. Steam is a true global platform.Then they cry that console gaming is dying.
