I know the game's population has been declining, as are some other games. The time loved classics, or at least the fun games made here, are kind of dying out.
I added Byond to my interests on facebook, and it didn't have anything on it. I had to key it in personally (no pop up 'Did you mean this?'), and with that I got curiously, and checked out Wikipedia.
Funny enough, byond itself isn't there. They get millions of visitors a month (1/3 of the world's population by the founder's estimates apparently), and we're not there. We're literally under a rock, and I was curious, do you think all this staleness within byond, not just ffthg. is from the lack of new blood?
Kind of like how our spell check doesn't acknowledge the word mage, and I always get a red squiggly line under the damn word.

So make a BYOND wikipedia page then.

There was a BYOND wikipedia page a long time ago if I remember correctly. Guess someone went and deleted it.

The only thing worse than my Byond coding skills are my html skills. And quite frankly, I was hoping for more of a discussion on rather this could be the case or not. Thanks Conny!

It is not so much about the lack of new blood - there are plenty of new people around while a sad, sad amount of BYOND oldbies have quit. The main enemy against BYOND is the fact that it has been mainly geared for populations of people around 12-13 with the mass of various anime games (DBZ, then Naruto), and also that most of the games around here are fan-games so they can't exactly be owned by anyone.
