    You can blame me, thats fine, I can take it, but I also think it was when credits became worthless is when the real traffic decrease came. GR was more of a place for others to make money which was great for activity. When we cracked on on the credit system to try to get a hold of the value, thats when we lost alot of users.

    Credits are gay. Let's just be socialists.

    I dont blame you at all shaggy, infact i think your helping GR, GR needed a update just as you said, and updating forums and stuff takes alot of work and i know that... specially when u have nothing to give... and what you need is the Community of GR to pitch in and help Start advertising and posting things people like like now the thing is Jailbreaking Ipods and phones and such and modding ps3's thats what every is into right now... and the reason why is cause its not easy to make a software unless you know what your doing and it takes money because if you mess up... your device you are jailbreaking or modding can be either Bricked(useless) or you can even get in some legal trouble considering what u mod.

    kept on telling admin to embrace the fact that creds are worthless.
    kept on telling them to increase creds/post proportionate to the value of the cred(inflation works both ways in real life)
    instead they did price fixing.

    price fixing doesn't work. The only thing that needed to be done was that the GR economy needed to be more similar to real world economies.

    i come in from time to time making randm posts lol but as time goes on you lose interest. you start to go for something bigger =]

    GR for me a good platform. Good community back in the days then it was like a rollercoaster ride.. up and down lol so much drama :D left mainly because i started to work for a digital multimedia agency & due to the majority thinking they're pros when all they making is a what 450x200 canvas thing? lol

    i mean i can list most of the history events and upsets of GR but whats the point haha its just the past. move forwards!

    anyways thats just me :D however im loving the skin & vb tho :) kudos to shaggy.

    I'm an economics major, NOT an accountant. Both are boring people who mess with numbers, but unlike accountants, economists don't really have any rules or laws to follow and are thus able to say whatever the heck they want so long as it makes sense.

    Sometimes they say whatever the heck they want, even when it doesn't make sense.
