| Yeah, we're pretty much the only people here. because literally everyone else is on skype and we still talk to each other and play video games together and watch animes and it's basically like this exclusive club for cool GACers that no one else knew about until this very post, but you probably might not even see this secret bit here anyway so you still won't know so hahaha later nerd | |

| Well Delta and 3D are the only two admins that ever really come here anymore and even that's very rare. This place was like this when I got back. It's weired when you move and then when you finally get back on most of the people you used to talk to are gone. | |

| because it got boring and EA dropped the franchise super fast and also the community is lame and badically what I'm saying is that I have no reason to play it at all but hey | |

| Yeah, many people have left for the same reasons. I'd like to know why EA dropped it though, the game was quite popular and in my opinion far better than the Sims ever was. But nothing lasts forever. | |

| because EA is a stupid company and released a game that was, at the time, the world's most pirated game due to the horrendous DRM and the fact that the finished product was NOTHING like the previously released trailers when the game was initially advertised during development. plus, although you might not like the sims, it's quality is much more surperior in comparison, so the possibility of that franchise being overthrown was pretty much debunked. spore was never going to last. - Sean1M wrote:

no, it wasn't. if it was truely popular, people would still be talking about it today or comparing it to modern day releases. instead, the community died and EA just gave up trying to save it. | |

| Yeah, personally though I preferred the games cartoony style to that of the original version but the aquatic stuff and extra editing options with the ribs and stuff would have been nice. The game was also full of bugs (as is much of the stuff EA releases these days). Nonetheless I still enjoy it and will probably continues to play it long after the servers are shut down. But to each is her/his own.
And I agree EA is stupid. The company is a black hole, always buying out all the smaller gaming developers. Thanks to them Sonic Chronicles will probably never get a sequel. Eventually something that keeps sucking everything in will have to implode. It's only a matter of time. | |

| i really enjoy spore as a game and a creative medium. playing through the main game is still lots of fun. but creating adventures was my main deal, and without a community, there's nobody to enjoy the stuff you make, so it just becomes pointless.
the main reason i stopped using this forum was because i got into homestuck and started my own ms paint adventure, but i gave up on that after a little over a year. between spore and homestuck, i became a very artistic individual and now i balance my own creative pursuits with school and stuff (i'm going to study mechanical engineering in college next year). also, i stopped using this forum because it turned into a general gaming forum, and i don't really keep up with gaming culture any more. i just play games from my childhood and revel in the nostalgia.
if y'all are interested in what i get up to, i post all the stuff i do on my tumblr at [url=ripe-for-gelatino.tumblr.com]ripe-for-gelatino.tumblr.com[/url]. check it out sometime | |

| I often keep up with upcoming games but I usually stick to series that I've known and place for years so I certainly can understand where your coming from. I hope everything goes well with your schoolwork and stuff. | |

| About two weeks ago I installed Spore and played it for the first time in three years. It was surreal to see that most of the people that I was subscribed to were all gone. A majority of the newest creations in my "Sporepedia" are dated 2011, a few dated 2012. Only two people out of about 45 have made creations in the last year. Everyone is just gone without a trace. Its almost depressing to see it so dead. I see that there are still creations be uploaded, but it just feels so lifeless.
As for actually game-playing: the game is still enjoyable. I've always had fun with space stage, and relearning how to use the creature creator has been interesting. I might binge on Spore for a little bit, I might end up abandoning it again, we will see.
Also, playing Spore again made me come back to see how GAC is doing, as this was the community that kept me engaged in Spore way back when. I visited the forum maybe four times in the last two years, and I participated in at least one game-night. Other than that I had lost interest here as well. However, It is nice to see this community seems to be trying to hold on, even if its origin isn't doing so well.
P.S. That's a nice Tumblr, Gelo.
Edit: I am now the "Top posting user this week", that's never happend before. | |

| Hiya DarkStar! Game Night's still a thing — we'll be playing a Loadout private game Town of Salem (probably) tomorrow at 11pm GMT. It's a (very generous) free-to-play game free webgame, so if you feel like it and have the specs we'd love to have you. We're also pretty active on Skype if you have that. | |
