I dont think member leave because stuff doesnt work/someone has done something wrong...
The good times of codex that I could remember is when everyone was a noob
, all the members were still yaung, members had more time in their hands... now days alot of people became private and became inactive... alot of people left for personal reasons.. people left because high school wasnt that siriusn then they went to college.. and they got only 1 chance to succeed... people dont have much time on their hands... people got their own lives now.. they became more mature... and even though some members register and some are active its just not the same... different members... we were private... we knew everyone like our 5 fingers... no one was a side person... everyone who got lucky to register on time didnt waste their opportunity on blowing it off, but actually tried to become private/higher rank... now the doors are open we have alot of outsiders... people come in and come out...
I think the neopets section fell over the years... a year ago atleast 10/30 topics a day were made due to event or something on neopets.. in the last 3 months we had gotten 5/30 made in a day... nowedays I saw 1 in 1-2 weeks...
Dont think codex is the problem...
We had loyal members now everyone is an outsider.... codex was once a much closer community.. before the doors opened...
Before most of us were here for 1 thing Programs
Over that that evolved into being here out of comfort with each other and bonds formed. However from my very short discussion with sl64 about some of the things they are doing with the site I think that codex is in that transitional shift that from my past experiences takes a pretty decent amount of time to take place. Many peoples interest are shifting from the teenage years of their life to their young adult life where they are able to hang out with friends later, go to parties, get drunk, maintain a job, and go to school. This stage in my life was very time consuming and I was hardly ever on the internet. I don't have the same drive in making new programs just to cheat something like I used to but I still like the community and reading about peoples lives and random things on the internet and world that are posted here.
Codex is not dead nor is it dieing.
1. this time of year is always slow people have a lot of school work to do.
2. Holidays are coming way to fast.
IMHO - Mystical
