Its been like this for a while, I blame social media, people tend to ask questions/share their game there

yeah fair enough. It's a shame that not more people are on here and posting tactics talk, careers and guides like on the SI forum

i totally agree!

we used to have some very active forums here but it has just become predominately a graphics site now unfortunately. what you will tend to find is that the most chat will be on a graphical level which is a real shame.

what i was thinking as a new sales perk for 'General FM discussion' wise, anyone banned from the 'football manager' site, this is a safe haven!

should liven things up!

i also think that there is far too many sub-forums on this site for people to vent their spleen, staff forums, off topic, etc. but yeah, it is bad that THE best Football Manager website has zero general forum chat compared to the main SI football manager threads...

haha indeed we just need something where people talk about fm itself not just graphics. Because all people are doing is coming here, grabbbing the kits and logos and buggering off. Its not fair.

Why is the forum so dead. Like there is basically no posters??

We're probably not the only forum (Football Manager related or not) that's pretty much dead due to the influx of social media, I used to be on another forum that had nothing to do with Football Manager which ended up getting closed due to lack of activity.

It's not just social media, people move on with their lives unfortunately. People have families, people end up having full time jobs with awkward shifts that they can't 'dedicate' time to the forum anymore.

Forums are largely going out of fashion which is a shame for sites like this. I used to be a regular on the 'CM/FM Scene' back in the day and it was buzzing with at least 10 busy forums dedicated to FM, in fact I just looked at The Dugout which was probably the biggest of the lot and it's now dead which is a shame.

As mentioned above social media has taken over, forums just don't appeal to people any more.

The first Championship Manager/Football Manager site I decided to register too back in the day, it's an absolute travesty it's always dead nowadays and would be better just getting shut down.

FM Base and the official SI website seem to be the busiest

FM Base is really only tactics discussion though, isn't it?

Anyway, our site is basically the prime resource for Football Manager graphics, it's just that most of the people who come here merely hit and run, at the very most they might make an angry post about how some graphics pack they have downloaded doesn't work.

I can't believe how dead this place is when the game has only been out for a couple of weeks. What a difference in a couple of years

I've just bought it so you might get some of my top chat, although t's more likely that I'll snap the disc in half after getting sacked a couple of months into my first save. Some things never change.

Yeah agreed, I had a gap year a few years back and this place was always absolutely buzzing. The FM specific forums, Night Thread, club-specific threads were brilliant. There are some stoic folk who have really tried to keep conversation, but I think more people (I include myself in this) should up the contribution.

I think the Stories section is an area which has maintained a steady flow, to be fair.
