>>50317036I mean, this really:
>>50318160It depends how far back you're talking. If you're talking about pre-gen 8 regulars, many of them are just outright gone.
A lot of the gen 8 regulars left once BDSP dropped, because this place became a cancerous shithole of tourists and beggars, and the game itself launched with such bad online, and such a shit meta, that there was no sustainable or entertaining battling to offset the cancer.
Then, after the BDSP rush ended, there were only a handful of 'regulars' left.
The latest discord was established and the remaining users who were willing to use discord went there. The ones who weren't willing to use discord stayed in the thread for a bit but, without the ones who left, this place became even more desolate. So now most of them are gone too.
If you look at the threads for the last couple of months, they are like 60% bumps, 10% battle requests that go unanswered, and 30% trade requests, many of which also go unanswered.
Therer's a lot of cope about how SV will rejuvenate the thread. It'll come down to how good the battle scene is though, because there needs to be something to offset the insufferable newfaggotry that will come with it.
