He already did that. Sent emails to all the old posters. Some came back to say hello but very few stayed. We're all getting older, I bet half don't even play games anymore.

kaz 887 Report post Posted February 7 tbh I don't know why I'm still here. Maj is gone, the only thing keeping me at this forum is ramza's failures and aza's bullshit. And Boss' occasional input. I should retire. jimbo will do without me. He was hosting his ghost town for 2 years after all. Goodbye Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voidler 809 Report post Posted February 7 GAF only became big because it was tied to an actual website, Gaming Age Current gaming fan media is all Youtube , Twitch, Reddit etc. you could possibly tie it to that somehow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem is that we are getting too old for SW antics, and that the fabric of SW has torn. “Exclusives” are slowly becoming a thing of the past, as platforms head towards becoming service-driven. Also the political/left/right crap here sucks. I mainly post in the official threads now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mainly post in the official threads now Pretty much this, it takes too much effort to troll SW type of things now even though it's fun to do sometimes. Plus there has been a giant increase in political extreme threads lately where it is just the usual ppl arguing against each other about the usual topics. Official threads are the only place where most honest chats go since there isn't the SW style gaming talk there. WDYPT is probably my fav thread here.

They aren't breaking any specific rules so hard to do anything. The only suggestion could be to just have one thread where all the bickering can go on but it never works. A major problem this place has is that most threads very very quickly just turn into 1 on 1 or 2 on 2 back and forths (I know I can be part of this sometimes) that pretty much hijacks the thread on to some other topic and stops any further input from anyone else cause who wants to post in a thread that has 2+ pages of back and forth between a couple forumites. If cooke wants this to stop I can try to moderate it more but it will cause the usually whining and ppl threatening to not return. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand growing out of the classic system wars shit but there are people that never even participated in it. I'm glad they found a new home but I don't like discord, I never tried it. I still use ventrilo for voice chatting and that's it. I just wish the people would drop by and say hello, post in the movie and game thread once in a while I miss maj. I'm too scared to pm him on steam. he seems busy Edited February 7 by kaz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only suggestion could be to just have one thread where all the bickering can go on but it never works. We've gone through at least 3 of those kinds of threads, but nobody ever bothers to actually merge the threads into them. 44 minutes ago, madmaltese said: A major problem this place has is that most threads very very quickly just turn into 1 on 1 or 2 on 2 back and forths (I know I can be part of this sometimes) that pretty much hijacks the thread on to some other topic and stops any further input from anyone else cause who wants to post in a thread that has 2+ pages of back and forth between a couple forumites. Nothing makes me just go back to r/games faster than seeing some game related thread a couple pages long actually be filled up with the same two people carrying on an argument from a political thread. 51 minutes ago, madmaltese said: If cooke wants this to stop I can try to moderate it more but it will cause the usually whining and ppl threatening to not return.

Casual 282 Report post Posted February 7 no one without a previous attachment to this community would want to post here. seriously, the only reason this place is appealing is cause a lot of us have been talking about games with each other off and on for over a decade. have you seen some of the shit that gets posted here? for an outsider a lot of it would fall between indecipherable and "i should maybe notify the fbi". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
