I mean, I’m totally fine with Discord. I don’t think it’s going to lead to a bunch of new people joining IF the core people migrate over and we continue to be insular and unfriendly, but forum or Discord is all the same to me.

I know that...I'm just being dramatic
although we will lose the prestige of the high post count and some of these great threads

Yeah, that's a bullshit metric.  Let's think of the true prestige, folks: Registration Date

my original FWB card was 422, but the card was made so cheap they couldn't scan it any more as the QR code was f'ed
I asked for a new card, but they couldn't retain my original number (then they went to the wallet option like a few weeks later of course)

This man’s life work is apparently futilely chasing a dude named Julian, Hyperpop SLUTFUCK. He’s suffered enough — we don’t need to make fun of him.

After further review... I think this is the end.

We have MAX 10 regular posters (members who post at least once a day), maybe 20 lurkers (people you see at the bottom as online but maybe never post or post once in a blue moon), and then an unknown amount of true lurkers without accounts.

Certain posters here are still learning how to post pictures on this forum and a new platform (especially discord) seems way overkill for this place. We will probably lose up to 40% of the 10 regular posters.

At any rate, it was a fun 20+ years. Take care, fam.

I think the point of the new forum is to expand the number of users by making it more user friendly…How they plan to achieve this I do not know….

How is this not user friendly? I mean... there's been the same lot of folks on here really for the past 15 years with zero valuable new additions. Now, we do know that most of that is due to space and jules, but still, you'd think someone would stick around.

This forum uses a very old template. It’s the forum equivalent of a TRS-80 personal computer.

If you want to be optimistic think of it as a refresh.

So…now that the shock has worn off….this new purported admin….what are their credentials? Who is this person? Ideally I would like to see a cv with a focus on prior experience in board transitions and maybe a headshot if it’s not too much to ask

Has this person interned with Eddie or Kosmo? Will this individual remain with the new forum or pull a ticketflyamy?
