So here's are the three reasons that the forum has dropped in recent memory
A. Veteran posters have either gone to college or just quit. TBH the only reason I stay is highschool-game and the various projects tied to it. Without a constant push from a few dedicated cheeky teenage bastards the forum doesn't have the raw numbers to sustain itself. Grape is the highest poster and on most big forums 2000 posts is nothing ( this might be a compliment to us since it shows we have lives )
B. articles are posted on highschool-game. Whenever the forum was slow before someone would post an article, this stimulated the reactions of community members and gave an accurate skill map with karma ( except twotyme) now the more recent articles are getting feedback but thier connection to the forum is tenuous at best.
C. Our small forum has been ranked fairly high multiple times in comparison to other pua forums, mostl thanks to between 30-50 posters who have all posted heavily on how to improve yourself in highschool. The issue is once eastcoast, sketch, and maybe myself write our ebooks on the last vestiges of highschool game left to cover there won't be a lot more go over. We are a microniche and as such it is always an uphill battle.
I bring these points up just to share my thoughts and offer a prediction.
If the forum doesn't just lose critical mass and stop then what's going to happen is once highschool-game has ebooks and is established as far as consitent content the next step would be to build a college variant, then combine the beginning of that community with the existing forum like the under-21 section on simple pickups forum. With most of the heavy posters getting older and highschool concepts getting refined to the point where the most work is getting guys to 'man up' Things are going to evolve.
Personally I would like to see a much larger site based on balance and masculinity similar to Kronos blog and centererd man (maybe ever teaming up with the latter) to attack the roots of pickup, but that's more of a pipe dream till all the writers are united under a work flow and with a clear purpose, which is gonna take time with everyone's responsibilities.
Those are just some of my thoughts, feel free to chip in.
PS the beginners guide is finished as far as content ( not just writing) is concerned, just some more tuning up, it's pretty badass for its size and is the closest thing we've ever had to a unified philosophy.
