I'm taking the way over on that. I think the over/under should be tax day (April 15th).

Alot less people frequent this site because the trading functionality of it is gone without the sets being updated far easier to trade elsewhere where you can have a want/wishlist and match it with someone elses haves/inventory. The lack of this site being maintained means it is dying a slow death unfortunate because I like the site.

Thats a shame

There are other sites with the same type of function, even if they have to go out of the way. Just to leave a site cause of it being inept

but thats just my opinion

I'm 26 now (as of Sunday), but started here when I was 14. I've always come back here; even after I sold out years ago and wanted to start back up.

Yeah the site is different and yeah it could use a little TLC, but I remember this site in what was closer to it's hey-day...it was better than trading locally. The people are what keep me coming back. Sure, some can be scathing and others nonsensical, but that's what makes this community what it is. You take the good with the bad and do your best to work around the features that may make finding trades "harder" (oh no!). The lack of some of these features actually makes you slow down when you trade, makes you take a look at someone's stuff as if it were in a binder in front of you. Feels like the old days of dragging things to FNM and having everyone and their brother go through it.

Dial-up internet bandwidth was not to be used for silly games in my house...so I had to wait until I had "real" internet to find a site like this.

My parents still cannot believe I use this site all these years later.

i know last year i wasn't on this site only because i wasn't involved in magic much. I hardly posted much in GD cause most of it was sports related or topics i could nto relate to

I guess the age of the generic looking sites are out of touch with all the other fancy looking high tech looking sites these days.

I can't really knock this site because i use another generic looking site.

Granted this site does deserve a new look, who gonna want to spend the time to do it, specially if money becomes and issue.

Anyway the days of the fifties is over where i live we have now started to deal with what we call winter

The site's lack of updated functionality certainly isn't doing it any favors but tbh one of the biggest hits for me is the increase in shipping costs. We used to be able to ship things much cheaper. Now shipping things costs so much more I rarely do a trade...mostly just buying/selling. Obviously there is nothing we can do about that, but at least being able to search for recent cards would be helpful. I know that nder was working on things but then got pulled on to other tasks but I dunno what.
