Every forum has it's high times and it's down times.
Occasionally people just don't post or there's not much people online.
It doesn't happen too often.

Far from it. I know what dead forums are like; it's when 3 different accounts post in the forums a day. What's worse, since they are the only people that post, they have conversations with themselves in the threads. THAT is what dead means. We have dozens upon dozens of people posting in the forums every hour, and that is the low-end of the activity scale.

i can see what you mean, but these forums are far from dead. isnt much i can put that hasnt already been said. but it does seem annoying when it goes dead for about 30 minutes spontaneously...

Well, I can't necessarily call it dead. Because there is usually somebody on. It's just 'not a lot of users are on' posting.

No worries, the activity gets high and suddenly goes down sometimes.

Its not dead, its very active with people. There are around 500,000 members on AG so the forums are never dead. Its either that the forum is getting old or not many people are online.

You do realize that only 1% of those people are active in the forums daily, that or even less. But that's still enough members to keep a forum running smoothly

Wrong. A lot of ghost accounts are lurking around. And only about 1,000 people are in the forums.

Yeah, spam, trolls and flamers would go loose. If that really happened, although that's nearly impossible to happen, but if it does, I'll die.

If so, then prepare to die when 3.0 comes out, Vinster

I'd imagine the staff would advertise the site to the www, then thousands upon thousands would pour in, both to the games, and the forums. I'd also imagine that the staff will learn and put a giant button for FORUMS somewhere on the site.

This site has forums?

More seriously now:
If you are seriously worried about the death of the forums, well...

It's like that movie with the corn and the baseball team: if you make a (decent) thread, they will come.

Sometimes people are off chatting or playing games.

Sadly, I haven't seen many interesting threads...lately

Stating the obvious?
