The site is amazing right now, but it isn't as active as it used to be. Not even close. We need more cross-promos, community plugs, and industry presence instead of taking a passive approach and hoping users find us. It sounds harsh, but you don't see TTG's name or logo being pushed as much today as it was back in the day. There is no one person or thing to blame for this - we all need to do our part.

I am only saying this because I care about the longevity of this beautiful community. It isn't meant to be a knock.

Thanks!


No idea how much it even actually helps, only a handful of people have asked about what TTG is, but usually day one of E3 I'll go in a TTG shirt lol

Not sure if TTG ever had an E3 presence and I already know that it's expensive as hell to even get a promotion/marketing over there but with the new consoles dropping around Holiday 2020, it may be somewhat of a reasonable idea to do something with E3 as I believe Sean had mentioned that when the PS4 and Xbox One came out, traffic on the site blew up. I'm sure traffic will blow back up again when they drop, but personally I would capitalise as much as possible during the hype.


TTG used to go to E3 as media I believe, and provided coverage of the event for the site - think this was hippie and a few others who did this but it was a long time ago (2011/-13?) so I may be talking out my ass.

The site has been on a gradual decline for years now, and it's no surprise. It's did well to last this long and is still quite active, although nothing compared to the past. All the other modding sites are dead and of a bygone era apart from WeMod (which is a support board at this point) and TTG, so kudos to Sean and the team for keeping the ship afloat all these years.

With the popularity of reddit, twitter, discord and other similar sites/apps, it has led to the gradual decline and redundancy of forum boards/communities such as this one sadly. It is what it is, and sadly I'd be surprised to still see TTG going in 5 years never mind 10. The times they are a changin'.
