I miss the old times...

OK I've been noticing a huge decline in sight activity... This saddens me . All i ever see anymore is topics about Iphones (honestly who cares that much) and people saying "I'm new!" I also notice that compared to last summer, no one rates coasters. This leaves me with a guilty conscience because i feel sorry for all the people who come here to post coasters... People work on these coasters hard, and its sad to see the minuscule amount of feedback that people get. When i was a noob last summer (still am a noob actually) everyone helped me out and rated my crappy coaters... now, every week i see at least 10 to 15 noob coasters go by unrated and unnoticed. No offense to anyone, but this sight is just getting boring as time goes by... This was my alternative to the hordes of myspace lowlifes . Now its just slowly dying out in my opinion... isn't there some way we can make this sight more entertaining and more active?

im guilty of not rating lately.
ill try to do better.

It's summer. Go do something.

Get a job.
Hang out with people.
See a movie.
Do other things.

Then it doesn't seem inactive, because you're not on it 24/7

ecstacy? i will try to do more,mean, i go on this site practically everyday, there sometimes isn't a lot to do, but rating coasters just gets a little boring when you do it loads, and it is frustrang when you work on a cter for months at a time, then get feedback thats not a rate, like "can you not have this ride track packaged?" or "great track, trying to get back stolen points GRRR!" it just becomes annoying and i wanna know what people ACTUALLY think, i mean 140 downloads with not ONE single rating. it seems like, what's the point?

I'm not on the site 24/7 Austin... trust me I'm not a lowlife. I do plenty of stuff. I write and record music, hang with my g/f and friends all the time, and i eat... and poop... don't assume things like that...

That's it, forced ratings will be in place as soon as I have time.

haha, really???
cause if so, cool.

He isn't serious. He's cooler than CoasterSims. Right Oscar?

yea the reason I left CoasterSims is because they forced me to rate. It gets really boring to rate all the time! PLEASE DON'T! We are cooler than CS.

[Oscar]

Prove otherwise.

Im here.

ok seriously, just one rate a week, or even every two weeks would make such a huge difference...

Yeah, not every track. That would be impossible and noob coasters won't even be downloaded then. If there's a way to do like one a week, that would be great.

yeah, one a week isnt going to kill you guys.
with how much time i know half of you spend on this site, you have the time.

Rating one out of five tracks you download is nothing. Infact, my FAVORITE thing about CoasterSims is the download & rating rules. I never get rates here like I do there. The least you could do is reward the builder's effort with a rate.

Don't worry guys, I will talk to him.

..... TConwell flies to California .....

..... Later that evening .....

1. TConwell shows up at Oscar's house with 2 cases of beer
2. Much beer is drank, laughter ensues from Lynwood, CA
3. Decision is made that all those who did not buy him beer will be forced to rate or be banned

..... TConwell returns to Alabama .....

Sorry guys, I tried. [V]

I don't get that many rates at CoasterSims either
more than here but not much

I am guilty for not rating lately.

I am also guilty for not downloading lately.

Badabing.

maybe upping the # of points of rating? and less on posting?

Are points really that big of an issue with people?
