Is Createdebate losing interest with weekly leader in the 30s or 40s recently?

YES

Side Score: 7
VS.

NO

Side Score: 4

Not really sure, but it is becoming more and more difficult to spend time on createdebate.com because of the dullness that has appeared. Some will blame it on the summer months, but it is easily refuted with last summer. It is really sad to see the site dying. The same repeated questions is really hard to respond constantly.

Side: yes

The last couple of months have not provided us with juicy, controversial news topics. Maybe if we had a revolution or something ;)

If this is an age reference than I'm in my early twenties and I have failed to have any reason to visit recently. Some spare time but more interesting things to do.

Its a reference to the leader board on the home page that indicates the people that are ahead in terms of pionts. The facts that people are making it into the top 10 having 30-40 pionts means that activity on the site is very low.

Dear Prayerfails,

I am hopeful that what you point out is due to the summer slowdown effect. If you really feel this isn't the case, I would look for any input on how to keep the sire fresh with content. I too have been very busy with my day job, but I was out in San Franciscomthis past weekend on a CD marketing trip. I am trying to target specific verticals, of which tech ology was my target over the weekend.

Please let me know what you think I can do to help reinvigorate interest if you really feel things are tapering off...even if it is just the summer effect.

Of interesting note, the registrations have kept at a brisk pace, it is the new debates that are slowing.

Maybe, it is the summer.

Well, I remember summer of 2010, and despite the hatred of Terminator, I felt that the site was constantly in swing. Personally, the biggest problem is the constant repetitive debates and the useless and unproductive debates. Obviously, you know that the home page is the most important, and if the 12 don't get attention, people leave.

Truthfully, I hate to stop people from creating debates, but the same word for word debate over and over is boring and trying. That is a major turnoff.

Of interesting note, the registrations have kept at a brisk pace, it is the new debates that are slowing.

See, it is not new registrations, it is the debates. When I first started, I was a deer caught in the headlights because it was new, but good debates made me want to come back. In the last 3 months, well, different story.
