I know CPR and can safely say that this forum's alive and responsive but I think it may be suffering from not enough oxygen

Re: Quick!! Paramedic!!

omg thanks >.<

Re: Quick!! Paramedic!!
 

I like to think of the site more like those almost unrealistic obese people who have to sit on love seats because they don't fit in chairs anymore and have their children bring up food because stairs are hard:

We 're medically alive but are we truly living?

Facebook killed ffr

Re: Quick!! Paramedic!!
 

it was discord

Re: Quick!! Paramedic!!
 

I do have a discord for TGB members but I mean I can open it up to anyone at this point cause I just want friends and pals. Its a little bit more loosey goosey than the FFR discord and has cool chat bots and memes so yeah

Re: Quick!! Paramedic!!
 

i had a chat with someone recently about depth of online experiences vs. their permanence and availability to outside observers

i think we ended up deciding that discord wasn't really the killer (AIM, IRC, and like, prochat have always existed - hell, i used to twitter DM people i met online) but the way discord works makes it easier to close off - servers are often baseline private rather than in public listings, and embedding multimedia, etc lets you do more with it

this might be changing with how discord lets you explore for servers, or whatever they just added, and how you can have "official" communities for things now that are based entirely on discord

we didn't really reach the question of the effect on websites and fora. i figure as the average person gets better quality net, they're probably more able to sustain a connection to a chat app than need to post on a forum as much

i still frequent a couple sites with rather active fora, and i figure the activity is because of what they're stapled onto, but also maybe how they come off as more hobbyish and how a forum is a good place to run into people who share your hobbies. biggest forum i was on that died? wasn't really attached to much

+ every so often we do get a new user whose first point of contact with the community is here, so that's when the forum is nice to have

anyway sorry for being serious in your meme thread

Re: Quick!! Paramedic!!
 

I'm pretty sure this site is just old. how many sites from the early 2000s are you still visiting?

Re: Quick!! Paramedic!!
 

anecdotally I'm seeing a pretty straight causation of "why post here, just send it in the discord"

all the ones I ever visited in the first place :^)

Re: Quick!! Paramedic!!
 

i'm not in the Official FFR Discord because un-attachment from things is a beautiful thing

i still go to some older haunts. i signed into kongregate the other day

Re: Quick!! Paramedic!!
 

what?

Re: Quick!! Paramedic!!
 

You know it's a serious post when people use the correct plural if forum.
