Is Ozzu Dead?

Me too, should be an exciting change =)

I swear i just saw tumbleweed blow over there.

LOL

Joking aside, it is painful seeing the site like this.

I created a topic on the GD forum about Augmented Reality, a subject i thought would excite most people that frequent the site. I started to think nobody was interested, but i think it really comes down to the fact nobody is actually logging on to read about it and/or they are not interested.

I hope there are changes soon.

I hear ya Craig

I think its mostly to do with a change in the way we communicate now. Back in 2003 when I joined Ozzu the forum scene was huge.

Then people moved away from forums to Facebook, Twitter and other "social media" networks to converse.

The other thing is back in 2003 not as many people had their own blogs - now if I search Google for an answer most of the time the answer comes from a persons blog post.

Some of the best traffic I get on my site are for posts I wrote telling other people "how to" do something after I had just finished finding out for myself.

It's the every changing Internet world I guess.

Given this, I'd say it was far from dead!

They were searching maybe for Is Ozzu Dead? LOL!

i am a newbie on this forum but i notices that it is no so active as it was according to the posts and their dates(

this place is starting to become a ghost town again . The question is are all thoes "Guest" actually people broswing or bots?

i think there are a few people there they can't be all bots, this is a popular site with some great content. There is all ways bots but i would guess 20%-30% at most would be bots. There are just lurkers looking for information and no sign up.

The majority of the guests are real people, as the ones we detect as bots are classified into another group which I have hidden.

Ozzu does receive quite a bit of traffic, but most people are here to simply find the answers they are looking for, and I believe many do and just do not leave any responses.

As far as this place seeming like a ghost town, it may in fact seem like there is less activity here, especially since a few of our big time posters haven't been around as much.

Ozzu will never die!!!

I was silent for a couple of years, posted on here earlier this year as a sort-of return, but fell away from it again. I'm back now 'cause I've seen Ozzu pop up on my Facebook feed every now and then!

Breeze, that is good to know that is having some positive effects in reminding people about Ozzu, hopefully you find some of the social media postings entertaining or useful too.
