I've been here 11-12 years now. The active users here at the moment is around 800.
So I was wondering how many active users was there when you joined Gametz?
(It seems there was double that or more when I joined back in 10'/11') I also wonder how many have left since then?

I'm not sure about active users, but I miss chat having 50-60 users in it. That was around 2001/2002, I think?

I still log in and look at general forum. Mostly movie reviews, and the other random ones. I'm not as active as I used to be.

I forgot about the chats! I love this site met some great people here. Traded some and traded for great stuff on here! Chatted via dm or even text about games,life, family ect. Dont let the negative actions of a few take away the positive actions of the many other great people on here!

In February 2003, the site changed to a subscriber-only ... In August 2005, the site reverted to voluntary subscriptions

2014 for me. Seems like there’s a direct correlation of decline coinciding with the digital revolution. Things went digital and active members began to fall.

Ah, 2007-2011 the bustling glory days when we all traded/sold our asses off and now all of those good items are worth 300% more now.
Even so, I joined in 07', and I wouldn't trade that period of time for more value in my collection today. So many users always actively posting lists for sale and making trades. I acquired so many items I wanted at the time, reacquired so many nostalgic items.
I miss the box/manual forum...the console vs portable forum sections as well.

Interesting, reading the Wiki it looks like the site changed from UGTZ to Game Trading Zone in March of 2000. I joined in April of 2000 but remember the UGTZ moniker. I wonder if I remember that not from the website but from the GamePro article mentioning it. Or maybe I was lurking for a couple of months before joining, can't remember.
Kinda crazy to think that I've been on the website for 24 years and other than times of deployment I have probably logged on at least once if not multiple times a day to check the forums. Only other website I've been on consistently for an extended period of time is DVDTalk but even that is probably 6 or 7 years less than this one.
I do miss the anticipation of finding a good trade deal and waiting for the mail to arrive with a new game. I don't think I've traded a physical item for a physical item in probably a decade. I also remember when chat would have 50+ people in it. Still, the community here is great.

It sucked when there were so many people here. Tons of problems.
So much better now.

We can start by bringing loans back!
At this point I don't know if bringing loans back would revive this place or throw a few more nails in. Have lending laws changed much since they went away?

The core issue has always been that we hate new users.
