Lately i have been looking around and after a couple of months the reviews and downloads have gone down around by half. Does this show that people are not visiting the site or clickers just not contributing to the click fase?

Little apps and games get posted and around 2 people post a review or comment, if you out loads of effort into games and people don't give feedback or even a comment wot does that make you feel like? BAD

So, i will now find out if this is true by the replys i get from this,

PLEASE CLICKERS
post some stuff and help others!

Joshtek is right. But you're just looking at the downloads and not the forums. The Daily Click is just in a "download slump."

No one cares, now go away.

Well, as for the lack of downloads, good games take along time to make, and arent going to come out every week... sometimes you get a rush of good games, and sometimes not, and as for the bad games, perhaps it is BETTER if these are going down as well.

Also, I wouldnt blame people for not wanting to post, as games get judged pretty harsh..... (manily the reason I don't post games, is becuase I cant draw, and i am an app programmer, but I am sure noone cares

....)

Anyway, this isnt really an article.

Yeah, maybe it's the other way around and is it just that half the klikers got serious in his games! (i did) This means some time no games and then a big amouth of quality games! This will make some nice battles in the GOTW polls

the dc has a reputation for having mostly bad games, its not going downhill because its always had loads of games that are not up to the rest of the communities standards.

Opinions are welcome, but not necessarily on the articles, unless you have a clear point to make

Although it isnt in the best of states right now

"Is the Daily Click going down hill?"

Yes. It had an uphill struggle and had some good games to help it up, and now it is taking the easy ride down and picking up turkeys like flies in a biker's teeth.

Yes, as I haven't been here for a while <¦-D

Actually, it might be because many of the regulars have moved away from their regular Internet connections (at University). That's my situation, anyway.

I think the main reason we aren't getting much at the time is that because there is a Flooding screen that tents to come randomly keeping people out until there next few sign ons. Takes me about 2 extra sign ons to get on the site. Some people may not relize that. So until Shadow Caster takes the page off. DC is going to seem like its going down hill.

Well I used to be fairly regular but now tend to concentrate on Heretic emu studios and not failing all my college work forcing me to clean out septic tanks to fuel my drug habbit at the moment

It's not about how many people make games, or whatever, it's about how good they are - quality, not quantity! However, the unfortunate truth is, everything ends eventually!

Another thing - I make games for me, not for anyone else. If no one plays them (which is usually the case), it's their loss! (I'm waiting until I make something nice, before I start posting up my games, too! - But I'm working on it. I hope everyone else is busy working on their own stunning creations, as well
