Things are much slower than they used to. Obviously, holidays are approaching, but were the shitstirrers and vagueposters really responsible for that much traffic?
>>42886617Possibly yes. The threads have been slower than the historic average since around the end of 2024. For a long time, each /opg/ thread lasted around 2~3 days, sometimes not even 24 hours. Throughout the first half of 2025, 4 day-threads were the norm, and now 6-day threads seem to the usual. These kind of numbers used to only be achievable during events like Mare Fair.My best guess for the reason is that most of the main shitstirrers either finally lost interest, or life ended up getting in the way of their hobby like it was the case for a certain abrasive popen that seems to have just disappeared.
>>42886658>spoilerkysunrelated to thatas a separate shitter, I'm actually just too depressed to threadshit anymore. I don't have the energy to be an asshole these days, even tho it was something of a pastime for meunfortunately all of my hobbies are uninteresting to me these days, even the non-shitter ones, so what really is the point anymore
>>42886666nice numbers though supersatan
>>42886666>>42886669oops satan quadsI'm villainlet, by the by, if anypony remembers thatoften mistaken for desu in the shitstorms I have dragged into thread, even to the point of many approaching him in game asking him to stop
>>42886673okay desu
>>42886675man could be dead for all I care and hilariously ponies would still think I'm him
>>42886677damn I got tripledubs
>>42886666ok tea>>42886673ok soff
>>42886682lol, lmao
>>42886683cant believe tea love is just another soff alt
>>42886617Baltimare is slow for several reasons and by extension the threadSL in general is a dying game, most of the playerbase is hitting their 30's and 40's with very little new blood willing to try out a jank old 3D chatroom from the early ages of onlinemost newcomers deal with either hostility or completely ignored outside of the 5 seconds someone new has joined the sim to make sure they aren't a >nohoovesregular scheduled events means there's little reason to be there outside of them which is a studied problem in MMOs
>drags random sweet pony name into shitter accusations bc lol
>>42886666That's why you don't shit where you eat, genius
>>42886972>implyingmaybe simply the audacity will bring me back to life
>>42886617You must never underestimate the sheer volume of posts just one or two hyperfixated and sociopathic autists can spew onto a thread if left unattended. I've been in MMO Generals where 200+ posts vanish in an instant, because one single person was hit with a 3-day.Would say the last thread was one of the better ones we've had recently in terms of overall quality, despite its relatively slower pace. Started out choppy, but turned out nice before long.I'd much rather take threads like those, ones which receive a few dozen meaningful posts a day and foster a good atmosphere, over ones which become multi-day threadshitting contests between 2-3 babies who absolutely NEED to get the last word in over one another. (Or one person sockpuppeting arguments with themselves for days on-end, either/or).
