Answer: They change the site objectives!
Well Max, since GSS is dying and everyone is loosing interest here why not change the objectives, hire new staff and cover new games (personally only Nintendo games!)
Suggested games:
Pokemon (GBA and GC), Fire Emblem (English ones), Zelda (GC and GBA), Metriod (GC and GBA) any other Nintendo games. You don't have to do it, you just hire people and make subdomains like pokemon.goldensun-syndicate.net or something.
With your coding and popularity of GSS, you can make the Veterans return! You can make people want to post and increase site activity as before!
LONG LIVE GOLDEN SUN SYNDICATE!

Pokemon has tons of fan sites, most of which have unique expert information (something which GS does not have) and faqs. Metroid (www.metroid2002.com) is the best site on the internet for this (also, samus.co.uk) so a metroid themed GSS would not do well.
FE is boring. I wouldn't stick around.
And like Pokemon, Zelda has TONS of fan sites with unique expert information.
I don't know. Shifting content wouldn't work very well at last minute when there are already estabished sites for the respective games.

Two suggestions:
Riviera: This is an RPG for the GameBoy Advance being created by Atlus, and will be released in North America sometime this June. Crimson posted an excellent review of the game, and it appears to share many similarities with the Golden Sun games.
Tales of Symphonia: An RPG for Namco, available for the GameCube. Self-explanatory.
Then again, E3 2005 is less than a month away. Let us wait until then to decide.

It would bring more people to the site for sure.
But steer clear of very popular games that have plenty of fansites (i.e pokemon and zelda).
Also, I have a ton of Shining Soul 1 and 2 content sitting on my comp (HTML formatted) if you are interested.

Riviera looks awesome for real! And I still support the games I posted sites, since all GSS needs is some content writers and GSS can do the advertising and practically everyone who visits GSS plays the games I mentioned.

I can't believe there are people suggesting Riviera!! You guys make me next to speechless (considering that I'm the one that kept preaching about it in the first place). You ROCK!! ;^;
I totally agree with the decision on Riviera. I've got tons of content, myself, and if you guys ever need my guidance upon it, I'll be happy to accept. ^_^

I have never heard of it, but if this content does change, no golden sun, GSW would stay, right? GSW is the best thing ever.

I was thinking something like age of the adepts.
Tricky there has the main domain for his GS content, then 2 subdomains, they have sub sites ofr The Tales series and Kingdom Hearts.

Even if you did change the content of the site to Riviera or any other game,
eventually the same thing that is happening now will probably happen again in not too long.
So basing it on RPG games in general could be a good idea.
On the other hand, there probably is tons of general-RPG forums around the web already...
One last resort, could be to merge GSS together with another site.
I have seen other sites do that before. But if that is an option here, I do not know.
Of course we should first wait to see if any new GS games shows up at E3.

There are far too many general RGP sites out there.
I think max hiring a new staffer to write content for that Riviera game is the best bet.

What about making GSS multi-lingual?
It would attract other people D: Not just english-speakers (native or not).
I met some people on GSW who are not native english-speakers so, they had a BIT of a hard time understanding some things. (I spoke spanish with them so, that's why/how we were able to understand each other perfectly.)

And there are too many RPG sites out there, far too many. The competiton is to fierce, it's not worth it. I say stick with GS, and get a couple of decent staffers to liven the place up with content, features etc.

Thinking withen the box: why not make GBA RPG related, GS and TLA are great but in terms of getting people to come, well you can see what's happening.

Is content for other games going to be considered?
Is there any plans for more staffers?
What will be done to revive the site?
#35

If someone would like to create a site based on another RPG, then I'd be happy to consider hosting it and making it a subdomain.

Another suggestion is get rid of the spam forum and delete all members who have not posted in six months or more.

At Agatio: Nearly all the good FE sites are closed (only good one is http://www.feplanet.net), and the new FE is not covered properly on any of the good sites. I wouldn't reccomend making a FE site anyways, I think Riviera is a neat choice.

Only problem is that i noticed with some of the sites Agatio hosted weren't very big and didn't have alot to offer.

And as long the main GSS site is the same and offers all the content, it will still be GS themed.

One of the few problems is that GS is not an online game, thats not a big problem I know being is how there are plenty of GC, Xbox, Ps2 sites out there with very active forums. GS is an amazing series, Nintendo has never let a series that sells go so dont worry a new game will come in no time. I was in =EP= AvP2 division for a long time, and everyone sat around just hopping Seirra would release details on AvP3. They still havent come, and they never will. That is something you dont have to worry about in a game made by Nintendo, if there are enough fans *And trust me there are plenty* GS3 will come. My thought is how they will be able to do it, Im thinking Alex survives and some people start taking advantage of the psyenergy no longer being kept from them. Its gonna rule. Also, keep in mind I came here didnt I? How did I get here? Looking for GS stuff, there are many fans out there. I know atleast 7 that are in =EP=.
