Is it just me, or is this forum dead?

I mean, when i look at the DbD steam forum, there are tons of threads and everything gets an almost instant answer.
Aren´t there supposed to be over 20.000 players from 3 platforms on this forum? I mean, only 123 people have earned the 100 comments badge. Only 12 the 500 comments badge. That´s really sad.

    to be fair, this forum has only been up a few weeks, the steam forum has the numbers.

    Compared to the Steam forum's 104 weeks (2 years), yes. The Steam forum is the one most people are likely to visit, since it's on the same platform they play on. Furthermore, it had two years to establish itself as "the forum".

    I still think there should be more people on this forum. Since it combines PC, PS4 and Xbox communities.
    Or are they all the silent majority like the auric cell give away winners?

    Nope. Most people on Steam just didn't realize that the forum had been moved because they don't read pinned threads (or much of anything, in fact; they're more oblivious than I am, and I have ADD).

    Most forums are like that where Steam forums are king and the main game forums are the red headed stepchild. It'll change eventually as the game gets older and better with a bigger player base.

    Edit: I just realized I have even less of a life than @Tsulan if we're going off of post count and 500+ comments badges. The few the proud the no life badge winners !!!!!

    I'm playing on Ps4. Nothing to do with steam. So for me, this is the forum of choice. 
    I think some advertising wouldn't be wrong.

    This forum is really quite hostile and toxic nowadays. It's completely unmoderated and has the same few angry kids trolling on most posts. I used to use it alot but it has pretty much deteriorated to where I can't be bothered.

    Looks like I'm not alone.

    I imagine it's because many people would rather stick to what they already use, such as the Steam forum. Which is why I don't frequent this place often as I don't see much need to break away from what already works.

    Also, the amount of people on this forum is likely high due to that Auric Cell giveaway they had going on where all you needed to do was be signed up to this forum.

    well most people do not even know it exist. at least on pc. to be honest,i prefer a forum with less people. the steam forum is kinda toxic so i tried to enjoy some disscusions here.

    Yeah, no toxicity here.  Just a lot of rainbows and unicorns.

    Oh, and Lowbei ;)

    Probably because the Steam forum is easily accessible by shift-tabbing during lobby/loading times, while to reach this forum you need to look for it.
    Honestly I think it might be better this way. On Steam people often vent their frustrations, while here I see more chill discussions in general.

    I came here because I got banned twice from the Steam forums. Guess that’s what happens when you call out some Bias Survivor Main bullshit on a guy who’s friends with a mod on the Russian Sub-Forums. Called in his Mod buddy. It was hilarious.

    I know that feeling. Stopped posting on the steam forum because of a ridiculous ban. Posted the exact same comment here, no ban.
