Why do I still hang around?

[TinCow]

I haven't cared about TW games for many years now. I come to the Org for the people. If the people go elsewhere, I will go elsewhere. So, a question I've had for a long time is... where else do you people post? If the Org becomes unviable, it would be nice to have a place where I could still find a lot of you. I know TWC is the obvious answer, but I'm not really keen on joining another TW site since I don't care about TW anymore. CFC maybe (shame about Civ V)? Someplace else?

[Togakure]

massmurderersanonymous.net, toefetishfreaks.com, and jamaicanbobsledding.org for me.

[pevergreen]

Nowhere. This is the only forum I've had any connection to, and if I leave it, 90% of my internet traffic will cease.

[Hooahguy]

Personally Ive been much more active on the NBC Chuck forums, and the Bioware Mass Effect forums. But whenever an interesting topic shows up here Ill participate. But the chances of me ever reaching 10k posts are pretty slim as of now.

Am I sensing that people desire more Vuk?

Yep

So what is happening in the land of freeze and cheese?

School is starting again, we are having more cold weather, snow, and ice. Same old same old.
Unfortunately life has been getting in the way lately for poor old Vuk.

jamaicanbobsledding.org for me.

Ha! I loved that film 'Cool Runnings'.

[Populus Romanus]

toefetishfreaks.com.

Interesting choice of forums.

Megas, if it helps, most of the people I really knew and loved/hated left before you even joined.

Groups of people change, people come and people go. The Org is no different; its attitude will inevitably change somewhat over time. It's not dying, it just looks different as time goes on.

I might also add that people change as well. I've gone from awkward kid, to laid-back stoner, to unpleasant drunk (mostly on the chat, where people actually wondered if I was the same person as Rev. Gonzo) (by the way, where IS the chat? I don't see a tab for it anymore) to more relaxed drunk. At the moment, I'm more acclimated to the somewhat rougher territory of the PWoT fora; they really put the calmness of these fora in perspective.

Point is, things change, people change... nothing can be dome about it, just keep on chooglin' and try to find the best place to fit in.

chat is still there, just under the board menu that flops down.

Also: are we to die? Maybe. Are we to live? Maybe. Will old people leave and new people come? Well....everyone else seems to think so, so I will support it.

too bad none of those exist! haha, now your alibi is gone! Where have you really been, Mr. Togakure?!

Ok, I'm busted. Where have I been? Why, here of course, kept rather busy lately. This camel dung broom has been useful. Weird that it has a big detachable hammer attached to its opposite end. Wonder what it's for? I thought Ban was a roll-on; didn't know they made hardware too.

mafiascum.net, however it is only good for mafia, the off topic forum is horrible.

[Subotan]

From where I'm standing: We're already there.

It's more noticeable when you're absent for a long period of time, I agree.

Paradox Forums, mainly to talk about Vicky. I also lurk on the MSPA forum.

The people are going elsewhere - sad but true. This is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. I got involved in the recent watchtower thread in an attempt to try and highlight some (what I see as major) issues here. I suggested, the removal of the junior member system and of the restrictions on avatars. I also suggested a change in moderating style and end to hyper moderating of every aspect of a patron's participation (nannying). As ever the administration ignored this. Now somewhat conversely, we see a massive staff recruitment drive - so instead of easing off on moderation, the members here now have even more mods on their cases. All this on a forum that is struggling to get decent levels of participation - just who are these people going to be moderating exactly? Simply throwing more staff at this won't solve the problems here at the .org - looking at why so many staff and members have left recently might be a better use of time...

All right. If you look things from the bright side, people still come to ask about MTW and STW. We are still the leaders there. The bad news is that these games are getting outdated i.e. we need to focus on something else. Another narrow set of games that fit the membership taste could be OK. I wonder... aren't there a good set of medieval strategies to attract members? Just an idea.

[Furunculus]

i've had my ups and my downs, but it still works for me when it comes down to it......

we should go the the stock market. that will really help ease things. i heard .org is noted higher than Facebook so we really got to do this man!!!

[Reenk Roink]

Yeah, if the Org ever goes, I'm probably gone as well. I doubt at this period I would care to join another forum, because even if there was interest there, it would die soon. The people are what draws me back here as is. I can play TW myself at this point, I don't see the need to talk more about it.

If you wanna find me, I lurk a bit around the 4chan sports board during NHL playoff time for funny/highlight gifs. Probably not the best place though, given the gore, porn (not even classy porn), and racism/homophobia/all other kinds of offensiveness.

[Rhyfelwyr]

The .org will always be my home on the interwebz.

Don't get the fuss about moderation... I get some warning points but so what, it doesn't affect my daily business on the site. Getting a warning doesn't even do anything.

Depends on the Moderator for me. If they are 'nameless mod', admittedly, I am not fussed, but if it is a moderator I like, I feel ashamed for letting them down.

Silly, yes, but it keeps me in check!

[pevergreen]

Don't let the org die guys, otherwise peverreenk will die.

And you don't want that.

[Hooahguy]

I cant really imagine the .org ever really truly dying, though if it gets any worse then I will have no choice but to jump ship as well.
I mean, as of now I only have this place tabbed because Ive been here for almost four years.
