Kikacat123 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I have seen many others worried about Brainden's dropping numbers of players and riddlers. In order to satisfy curiosity, would anyone who is on brainden at least bimonthly please list so here? Hopefully this will give a general picture of how many people semifrequently are on brainden.

flamebirde Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 agreed. I think the Games section has died a quiet death while the other sections (especially the bread and butter of this site, the New logic/Math puzzles section) seem to be fairly steady. 'Tis a pity.

Yoruichi-san Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I feel like BD has lost a large degree of it's variety in the last few years. When I first became active here, what I term the "Golden Years", there were a lot of different types of puzzles, and puzzle solvers who were willing to try them all. Now, on this latest tour, it seems to be mostly the hard-core math puzzles that get responded to at all. I'm not sure if that's just representative of the taste of the current population of BDers or if for some reason people have just become afraid of replying and risking embarrassment, or a combination of the two. In the Golden Years, when I posted a new puzzle there was usually a reply within a few hours, and even though the first replies were usually off the mark (since I have an affinity for creative thinking/figure out what to do type puzzles), it helped get the conversation in the thread started and gave me an excuse to drop hints. Puzzle creators and puzzle solvers are a symbiotic relationship, although I'm not sure which started dropping off first, there isn't much hope for reviving the BD organism without somehow increasing the populations of both simultaneously :/.

flamebirde Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 If we can get a mass migration of people from mafiamaniac to the games section, we might have a chance at cracking this stagnation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
