Top Ten Reasons Why August 2018 Has Been a Bad Month for TheTopTens

I have not seen such a depressing month than this one in the year 2018 things just don't seem normal. I never fought the site would have this big of a decline since 2016. Luckily the second half of that year things picked up the new users started to be themselves, but with this one month in particular most of them are bit to dust. Here are what could prove to be a declined fall rate for this site.
The Top Ten
1 Many users delete their accounts in favor of either starting over, or leave completely

It's a complete waste of energy to delete all your hard work because you don't like the site. Why do you think the big dogs of TTT left their accounts up when they departed? Either because they forgot about their accounts or because they wanted to leave behind the memories for other users to see. Leave your account up, so that when you decide to return, you don't have to go through all the trouble of setting up a new account. And no, don't delete your account because you want to reform. ModernSpongebobSucks kept his account up and changed for the better. If you've screwed up, just own it and keep going.

Some comeback give it one more go, but others just chose to give up for different circumstances. Reputation sinks in really badly follow this trend is not the way to go. It goes the same for many past the point its difficult to explain to a new generation what in history, and who were innovators that they never got to see in their prime enough said.

I've recently thought of deleting this account and either creating a new account and/or just leaving altogether (i'm mostly retired, but still visit every once in a while). I can't help but cringe each time I view a old comment and list of mine I made years ago.

It seems every month the rate increases, especially this month. I deleted my account, to start over. I was Zoocksycootserana, I tried retiring. But, I choose to restart a few days after.

2 Many users retirements have been on a rapid increase

The retirement spike just goes to show how much the website is declining. It's a shame really, considering that despite the large number of users here, there's really no sign of strong unification and definitely no sign of leadership for them. This site needs leadership very critically, alongside unity as the lack of those two are the reason why TTT isn't doing very well these days.

Yes, I am retiring under my own circumstance; because I feel as if I've had my fill with this site, I have got life goals to accomplish, I've got a university to work on and I feel that this site strips me from being active and engaged in other activities.

It seems after my point regarding is it time to give up your account really ended up indicating that many people decided to legitimately give up. 445956 gone, Anniecallie gone, CrimsonShark he says he is, but his still here at the moment. isaaonrtdmtr, plans to retire this month shows up here, and there hope for the best for him. Theinosminac when is he gonna return exactly nobody will know until revealed in due time point is this has not happened for so long since 2016.

I've been thinking about it after I've been told by others that they will, saying that they don't think they have much to offer now, but I wonder if the site has anything to offer me besides chatting to my friends, really.

I did have my plans on leaving again, but I've made up my mind and I've decided I'm here to stay for now. When I'll decide to leave again? That's beyond me.

3 Uploading images takes longer approval, and being limited to how many you can have a day

I'm combining the two considering it feels sorta the same method, but slightly worse in the case now we mysteriously have a limit to how many images we can submit a day without knowing the number you have compared to list limit that is seen not visible.

There's an image that is still pending after two weeks. It's also taken a week to upload other images I've tried to submit. I don't know if this has to do with copyright or not, but it's still a problem with creating new lists.

It's getting harder and harder to do stuff on here!

Takes like almost a week or more for me

4 Some users create false real life stories in their blog posts just to impress the general audience of sympathy card

Yes two in particular have guilty written all over it. Point is not everybody has had it bad like

TwilightKitsune, and it seems like not gonna say tried to remix that, and turn into her own, and thus got exposed big time by her once close friend. Another user whose post was a bit controversial to say, but this user claims he killed himself, but the problem is he lied about what gender he really is, and to top if off if he lived in the U.K how could he own a gun when its fully restricted in that country? Another user I'll keep it anonymous said that the story was concluded to be a hoax based on evidence thus he has not shown up since the lie, and if he does he'll get absolutely ripped to pieces.

One specific one I think we all know of at this point was when TeamRocket747 was falsely claimed dead. No point beating a falsely-claimed-dead horse at this point, let's move on.

Oh, you think TheTopTens is bad with this? Just look up any song on YouTube that is remotely sad.

I have depression and anxiety, but I don't march around proclaiming about it. Plus, considering what my interests are and the amount of stories and posts I tend to go through outside this site, I have no reason to complain about my stress too much.

I understand that people have to struggle and we all go through some massive stuff in our lives, but its best to deal with it and make the best for ourselves. And in case you stumble across someone who has it worse, offer condolences and support, like I do. Faking isn't going to do any good at all. It just degrades you severely, and you don't want that.

5 Multiple user suspensions with vendettas behind these motives

Toptendudes, NightmareCinema, and Galaxycookies four suspended from this month. Three of which have something against the head in some shape of form, while Galaxy's suspension is a complete mystery what happened there.

October is much worse than august 2018 at this point. Everyone is getting suspended similar to a rate of how it was in 2017

Purposely pissing off the administration earns you punishment. It doesn't make you look cool or witty.

6 No longer can you follow any new made accounts

Yeah I would say this occurred near the mid point of August, and I noticed this, and I fought it was a temporary thing, but no any new user you see that just made account let's say made an account from the 9th of this year you cannot follow for some random reason or another I caught onto petty quickly maybe its just me, but I highly doubt it, and it's the most notable change of this month. Click a profile let's say RandomThings notice there is no follow option yeah than you know what exactly I'm talking about.

Good list!
I've wondered about this. It's a shame as there are one or two users without the follow option that I actually would follow if I were able to.

Is anyone able to message me?
There's a problem. I can't see who's following me and how many followers I have.

So, the unlucky ones shall be eternally trapped in obscurity, I suppose?

7 Most veteran users are not making as much content as they once were months ago

I feel that in the new future, the veteran users will become less and less active, until eventually they just retire. The site won’t be the same after that, and the community will be no more than just the stragglers who stayed on the site.

Look at how slowly I have become suddenly now in this one month alone sure I'm still making sports content and all, but than I see NuMetalManiak making fewer and fewer just in this month that kinda says something in terms of content August has reached that low in that department. therandom can't even finish up his posts now since they got looked at by anonymous user reporting the post series.

Yes, ModernSpongeBobSucks, especially. I haven't even seen him on in forever.

ModernSpongebobSucks, NuMetalManiak, CrimsonShark, and even Metal_Treasure have been quite inactive as of late.

8 Many users go on hiatus without letting you know prior

Yes, and while that's not a bad option imagine trying to catch up on some of those users suddenly you realize oh styLIShT was gone briefly, TheFourthWorld still hasn't come back. iggyjepsen starts to become more on hiatus role because the boy toy is being a bad boy. Point is there are many users who have not either retried, or suspended that have been more less inactive/on hiatus for whatever reason that maybe we may not know until further return.

Going on hiatus doesn’t matter at all, but you could let it know, otherwise users would be worried and think you might retire.

9 Voting spam

This one is minor compared to the rest, but when I see multiple votes of say Adolf Hitler the best politician ugh... something does not seem right.

I've tried to combat this. We need more people taking action!

That Dimash guy that does awful K-Pop is so high on all singer's lists, obviously bots ruined this

Cry little sister by Marilyn Manson got votebotted on worst songs of 2018

10 Many gen 18 users fall from grace

I guess I'm Gen-18? I lost track of when I joined in all honesty. It doesn't matter anyway, what generation of users you come from is nothing but redundant trivia. Like my brother once said, every gen has likely had at least one screwup.

Boy Thanos's Gauntlet means business when it comes to Gen 18, I sit here I'm going Gen 15, 16, & 17 most lasted longer than the ending period just not immediately kicked to the curved this is like firing all the cast of SNL from the year 85'-86' type of things.

I think I'm being stupid when I say this, but I have no idea what this is. Can someone tell me, please?

Is it weird that I really like most Gen-18 users despite all of the retiring?

The Contenders
11 It takes longer for listings to get approved
12 No unique users

I know it's September, but everyone on the site hates: Fortnite, Justin Bieber, Donald Trump, DC Movies, Teen Titans Go!, The Emoji Movie, Jake Paul, Logan Paul, Sonic the Hedgehog, Nicki Minaj, Pop music, Call Of Duty, Frozen, Dora The Explorer, Barney, Modern spongebob, Drake, Star wars Episode 7 the force awakens, etc, and everyone on the site likes: Nintendo, Mario, Zelda, PlayerUnknown Battlegrounds, Metal Music, Marvel Movies, Avengers Infinity war, Rock music, Rocko's modern life, Camila Cabello, The Lego movie, Ant Man and the wasp, Classic star Wars, Star Wars episode 3 revenge of the sith, Rogue one, Black Panther, Minecraft, Roblox, All Pixar movies except Cars 2 and Brave and Cars 3, The Godfather, Pokemon, Battlefield, Steven universe, The Dark Knight, Shrek, memes, etc, but no offense it's getting old, can we all have some unpopular opinions and stop bandwagoning please?

What kind of people do you expect to encounter on this site? Everyone is diverse in taste, and granted you might not agree with their opinions, but what classifies as "unique" is purely subjective not objective.

I regret adding this on here, To be honest what I meant, was that anyone on the site will bully you for liking/hating any thing I mentioned

I guess someone hasn't heard of darthvadern, a user with some of the most unpopular opinions

13 AnnieCallie retired

I really should've known before I sent her a message and started following her. Great.

Isn't she the user who posts "Opinions" on every list?

This falls into the category of what #2 describes.

R.I.P an awesome person who made equally awesome lists, you will be remembered as a cool toptenner!

14 ReltihFloda is Still Suspended

Biggest problem

15 People attempting to stop the site from becoming an SJW site
16 Admin Taking Down Heroes vs Villains Season 5
17 Zoocksycootserana deleted his account, then came back as RandomThings
18 Too much rustling

There can never be too much rustling.
