I believe , while the old members got grown up , they move in their marital and professional life , plus the big thing I believe is the whole internet and gaming scenario has changed back then their was no facebook but now facebook has become a must duty it has perhaps become the only way to get touch with relatives and old friends , plus the whole piracy days are almost over , back then most of guys used to buy dvds (PC gamers ) as well ps , Xbox guys and used to be lot of problems regarding installation etc , discussion of games releasing or not .

Plus fucking smartphones has also taken a large chunk of activity , back then pg was like central hub of finding news regarding games etc now people surf things themselves using apps etc , also lot of gaming scene has decline in pakistan may be it become expensive or may be the next gen is more glued to their smartphones rather than consoles or pc's , when you grow up its hard to keep on upgrading pc's due to time constraint and you move towards consoles plus you don't have enough time to discuss at which stage of game you are etc .
No no its all about sharing caring thing / lack of enthusiasm back at that time we still used to get news from site like gamespot ign but we still used to share the same news with PG audience but now a days ppl don't even bother to Create a thread themselves,
i see [MENTION=507]manigamer[/MENTION] actively doing the job same goes for [MENTION=8060]abobobilly[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6068]Ottoman[/MENTION] but all these are mods why no one else takes the responsibility they will not do it forever why there is no one to replace i still remember the Last cricket world cup thread was not created by anyone for 3 to 4 days until Ottoman himself did from his busy schedule
and what was the first few reply came on that post was "i was desperately waiting for this thread", "i was so pissed of by Pakistan performance i need to scold on them i was waiting for that thread" and nobody even appreciated the amount of effort OP did on creating the thread , this can only be understood to those ppl who does the contribution that how much time does it take to do your own write up.
but they never bothered to create a thread and discuss, This is lack of enthusiasm or what ?, this isn't lack of activity ppl were there but not willing to take responsibility
those ppl who become mod were previously normal members here even without Mod responsibility they actively used to contribute on community later hand picked now there isn't much potentialy deserving ppl to be hand picked for team
This is why Nanow saying if you want status for the contribution he can make you SV

Yes Facebook / Mobile is a big reason but its not like we are not getting traffic / activity

Plus [MENTION=4177]NaNoW[/MENTION] is doing Great Job he is on the right direction i am pretty sure his dedication will pay off in long run !

Hahahaha at the Saudi Troll....



Thanx for remembering man.



Thanx for remembrance.



Lol that was indeed a fun time. Miss those great days.



Life happened, many factors also played an important role in my activity being decreased from here.



Thanx dude ;)


--------------------------
I still miss the somewhat prime time I enjoyed on PG and made some great friends that I'm still in touch with and also met who are not from Karachi. I was in Pakistan for 4years for my Bachelor's study and I still remember the day when I got a new PS3 and was looking if there were any Pakistani people owning PS3 in Pakistan and found PG that way. Got addicted to it and had some great time and some great meetups and tafreeh. (Still remember the first one at Hardee's when it opened, for those who remember).

I thought of coming back as I still haven't gave up on gaming and still make time for it a lot but again certain factors and lack of activity from all the old members discourages me to post again.

I'm always around, if anyone wants to stay in contact just throw a mention or add me on Facebook or something....

ahhh its not a easy thing to leave pg specially for me it was a very very hard thing to do because you guys know how much i was active at pg but first i had to leave moderation because of my study and now i got a job and became extremely busy. these are the only 2 reasons behind my lack of activity on pakgamers other than that i m not a user or facebook or any other social website. for so many times i tried my best to get my activity back on pakgamers like old days but i was unable to do so :(
still guys i really miss pg and my pg friend and members and specially hardware section :crying: i want my old days back and i will still try my best to comeback on pg with full strength :chinese:

Many people may have gone and get busy in their real life but many other i believed left because of PG itself, 1.in recent few years PG has become a boring Forum it's quite crowdy but nothing unique to offer, 2. Heavy spam or repeated threads about movie releases actors and other none sense dc comics which discouraged dominated other topics to be raised, and my advice to that user is this kind of stuff you write blog not brings in forums threads (munigamer) , 3. Market place if it was a separate section to discussion threads that would be good because if user sees 12 threads of wtb wts and not a discussion thread he would definitely go off and loses pg visiting interest, and for God sake put some limit in posting selling threads currently one user can post hundreds of selling threads making it look like forum has been attacked or malfunction, ,, and there are many other factors need to be addressed

So are we looking at a Core Team PG revival and strong gaming scenes and stuff ?
murh aao sir jee
wo waqt yaad karo evilracer wala i mean evil lotay wala :D
wo waqt yaad karo pg podcasts wala
we dont have those members in team pg we dont have that motivation in team pg may be our time at pg was greatest time and we saw the revival of pg ourself
na wo gaming na wo threads na wo discussion na wo podcasts na wo guides na wo videos you,shyber,tdd,necro,CT,Muaaz,Rezon,hasanj,usuf,jayzzy,radd,reaper,ottoman,afq,desolator,syavash,Goldenhawk, and many more they all are no longer active here. i still remember the quality discussion in hardware section from some senior members but now even some active members dont really like to post in the forum alot because life moves on and everybody became busy i like to salute persons like [MENTION=8060]abobobilly[/MENTION] etc who are still handling pg with their jobs and haven't yet retired form their posts.
but still it would be great if we have as you said "REVIVAL OF CORE TEAM PG AND STRONG GAMING SCENE :D"

Karach!
One of the reasons for stalemate in Pg that comes to my mind is the dearth of really good games not being made in quantity like in the past few years.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
