quadz, did the games not fill around this time last year?

Also, is the default skin for the site black now?

Who decided this?

The problem could be that there aren't enough players/demand for games any more.

It would make sense that the reduction of demand would be most visible in the micro queue among the queues.

Perhaps the site is dying faster than we thought.

Micro games are filling at a slower rate than usual, but it is not a surprise to see 20p+ bastard games fill at a slow rate.

I think it just shows the power of DGB's fanbase

Why can't you just ask the moderator to kick the undesirables and not allow hydras?

Wisdom of the Crowds is a thing.

Anti-hydra sentiment is also a thing.

I think the problem is that we have steadily fewer people on the site.

I am not sure what can be done to combat that. Perhaps others would know more.

I'd run more games if there were players who want to play, but it feels like it takes longer and longer to fill every time I start a new game.

It's quite distressing.

How do the graphs look now?

Because people want to play dances!

Haha, I wish it were just my games.

If you look at how long it takes a Large Theme to fill nowadays, they can take a long time.

Many mods give up and pull the games before they fill, which is something you basically never saw in 2014-2015.

That doesn't look good.

Is there any way we can reverse this trend?

So what is the next step?
