I believe that fluckit isn't about views or activity, it's about community and trying your freaking hardest to fit in, if you wanna see it more active you too have to be more active, it's a vicious circle. Just post a lot and comment on everything and the peeps should come typing at you like Charles dickens on 'roids being chased by super saiyan 4 vegeta In the middle of a hurricane.

mini demz rant.
at this point ive stopped giving a fuck...
e-cred and views... there just isn't a point...
whoever is starting from scratch now is playing a dead game... movin into a deserted town...
i don't completely agree with you marco, i've seen a steady rise in views and comments on ma vids since i've joined here. And gained a lot of e-buddy's too ^^
there's many new talent in the fakeskating scene. And i think the community has been more active lately, many community tages and stuff..
ya but compared to the s2 days / early s3 days (which i dont have complete knowledge about since i wasn't there)...Originally Posted by SK8ERatWAR
i mean there were multiple forums with traffic and many activities. even in the early s3 days (when i arrived) there was this community vibe (even though it was mostly negative) that just isn't present anymore. im familiar with that energy that used to be in the community. i started a competition that was very active to me. hell if you try to start a competition these days... good luck with that.
Honestly the early s3 days were much more serious than today (and by that i mean more active)... people were more power hungry...
And it wasn't always a bad thing. I can remember a year ago... seeing all the teams in the clubhouse... with their huge threads an active rosters. I wanted to be apart of that. But then I stopped giving a fuck. Most of these people have three years on me... 3 years that I will never have.
The OGs got their fun... their CC memories and many generations of teams...
But I also look at the different perspective. I mean people STILL play this game seriously. We see new people all the time. I'm seeing new teams and filmers on Lb. Jerrel still gets a billion views on his videos. I particularly get a significant amount of views. Lb is actually were all the kids go... all the new peeps. People like adam and matty are the new generation. But they will always have that timing disadvantage. This game will ACTUALLY die soon before they can do big things. Like I said, the OGs had their 3 years of comments and forum presence.
And the core of the fun in this series... seshing with people... is still in existence. I session with some REALLY good skaters that would be considered new. People still take turns with their friends, doing ridiculous lines until they bail. I do that. That is what this game is about. The separation of styles and the whole "I'll judge you by how you film," ruined it. I'm that guy who can enjoy all styles.

Hahah don't be a debbie downer, My view on it is that if you had people who still played OG and skate 2 while skate 3 was out there will be more of us coming in steadily. It will die definitely, all good things come to an end lol.
Well let's just agree to make the most of what we've got while we have it, the friends and progression we have made collectively I'm sure is huge. I've still got plenty of skate. life left in me and I've played every day I think since the day S1 was released until today, bar maybe a couple weeks total to account for holidays/hospital etc amongst that. There's plenty of others like me and plenty of newcomers to bring stuff back. I think the biggest thing is for us all to try and make an effort to keep things active and positive, if we all comment every vid we watch n feedback on each others caps when we skate them, we'll find more mutual responders and we can make it active.
Share the love, shred the love.
thanks for all the feedback guys. Be active?? So ill just comment on other peoples stuff but not expect it back in return and ill try to meet friends even though noone goes out of there way to meet anyone. hmmmmm good advise
this message was never intended to be about the death of skate. its about if this is the end of skate. What happened to Community. If we want to make this Community last then everyone needs to stop be so sheltered and actually be a community. I dont really buy the whole noone watches videos thing cause i see comments from everyone of u guys that posted here on just about every video from a "somebody" but rarely any where else. Also more people view My footage thread than anywhere else. just sayin
See ya around
