Numbers speak the truth. I know it hurts in the inside but COMICvine and CBR have FAAAAAARRRR more users and a lot of our users are over there. This isnt a bash to KMC, it's just a pattern I've known. Now we just need to discover WHY that is happening. The obvious answer would be trolls but that exist on all sites. Soooooooo, what could it be. Why do I see people like ODG, Enalys (I know, I spelled his name wrong) and other great classic KMCers posting on those sites? Some of Marvel BEST posters. I'm going to pretend like I dont know. Anyways, KMC is still a good home to a lot of people.
It is simple, and I have done this analysis for you many times.
Here is COMICBOOKResource's front page as of right now:
Let's look at the top 16 topics, shall we?
1: TV vs
2:Comic vs
3:Comic vs
4: Comic vs
5: BZ challenge thread
6: Anime
7: Anime
8:All fiction
9:Comic question
10:All fiction
11:All fiction
12: Anime
13:Anime
14: Anime
15:Video games
16:TV vs
So in the top 16 (due to my screen) topics, only 3 are Comic vs topics, none of which have gone past page 1.
Let's go to COMICvine, now. Same timeframe:
1. Anime
2: Comic vs
3: Comic vs
4:Anime
5: Anime
6:Anime
7:Anime
8:Comic question
9:Movie vs
10:Anime
11:Movie vs
12:Movie vs
13:Movie vs
14:Anime
15: Comic question.
16: Movie vs
So out of the top 16, only 2 are comic vs threads, with two comic related questions.
In short, COMICBOOKResources and COMICVine have just opened their doors to all and sundry. Comicbook readers are generally older (certainly the ones who bother to debate comic fights). Look at us - Galan, Stoic, yourself, Bentley, me, Alberto, Pr, Bada, Sin....all 30s. Beatboks is like 90. Even the youngun, OAS, is in his 20s now. We just drift away from comic debating due to life events etc.
The other sites? They have the anime kids. The ones who've just watched Avengers:Endgame and think Thor is the strongest Avenger. THAT'S why they are much more active - they don't actually debate comics anymore.
As seen with my screenshots. Our front page has more than triple the comic vs threads of those two sites COMBINED.
You shouldn't ask why all the comic posters are gone from KMC. Because we're actually the most active. You should ask why all the anime posters aren't here.
