That's the main problem right there. Leave whatever they talk about in Discord and related chats, keep it there. The forum has come a long way, it would be a shame for it to come to a sharp decline in general.Harpic fraîcheur wrote:members bring the typical shit posted here in this forum

So now you're in charge of determining exactly what kind of behaviour is suitable for instant messaging, and exactly what kind of behaviour is suitable for a forum? May I bring to your attention the fact that, on average, your every-day average You Game post has about as much or even less value to it than the average shitpost, simply due to the fact that shitposts are actually funny?Ray502 wrote:Leave whatever they talk about in Discord and related chats, keep it there.
No, you're overreacting. Keane and I are pretty much the only ones who "shitpost", and it's actually not even that frequently (most of the time there's actually a legitimate point being made), nor are they harming anyone, and I'm contributing to the community (both in terms of creating content and spurring interesting discussion) way the fuck more than most people.Harpic fraîcheur wrote:I agree with what incognito said previously. These chats kill the forum slowly and their members bring the typical shit posted here in this forum, which isn't really pleasant to people who do their best to contribute to the forum as much as possible.
Yes, nothing's changed. New members come frequently, only a few stick around; this happens on every forum.Ray502 wrote:EDIT: On another note, has new members always been this way? Come on the forum for one or two weeks and suddenly disappear?
Looks like I lost my reputation of being the hippest shitposter here on the forum. I'll never get VIP access to RPC like this.Adsolution wrote:No, you're overreacting.

Yyyyour posts have been pretty tame recentlyCHRdutch wrote:Looks like I lost my reputation of being the hippest shitposter here on the forum. I'll never get VIP access to RPC like this.
I was merely offering my opinion that has been basically stated by others recently. There wasn't any kind of intent to command people to "leave those discussions where they belong," no, I know I have no power as a regular member to have such meaning.Adsolution wrote:So now you're in charge of determining exactly what kind of behaviour is suitable for instant messaging, and exactly what kind of behaviour is suitable for a forum?

I wouldn't be too sure of that if I were you, forums are considered as dinosaurs nowadays.Master wrote:Eh, it's not like we've reached a level where folks are talking about conversational networks and the like.
The main problem is that it is like treachery, the more you do the more you want, and on the end it doesn't look good. By that of course I mean that the more I shitpost the more I wanna shitpost, and id doesn't contribute in making me better.Ray502 wrote:That's the main problem right there.

I don't know, is exploiting the activity of a forum in order to make you business work ? Yes, is that bad to want to talk more with people that you consider sure and that you want to discuss with ? No, but there are already the previously mentioned forum to do so.Ray502 wrote:You didn't have to go on that level.Fifo wrote:I’m temporarily disabling the Discord invite.

If it isn't spam, then it contributes just fine.
Shitposting is actually not a good way to contribute to this community or nor to its members.Adsolution wrote:No, you're overreacting.

You all seem to be at that stage in life where you have an overbearing desire to be uptight, even when you're complete hypocrites in doing so.
Yeah, but the chat was just not as active as it is nowadays.Serza5 wrote:People using IMs to talk to people on RPC is hardly a new thing and was something that was about even at the peak of the forums activity. So frankly this apparent idea that Discord/Skype is a major cause in the lack of discussion here is bogus.

There's like five people in there, and it's basically north korea, complete with the jong (what could you expect)Serza5 wrote:Unless Discord is somehow more active than Skype
Did you know I've actually never invited anyone to the Skype group? They all came of their own accord, or through other people. Entirely word of mouth with none of my involvement!incognito wrote:Posting on your group with your growing gang, punk.

Those reasons, at least with how you've presented them, don't make sense.Ray502 wrote:It's a little different because of two reasons:

How would you know? The IRC's been around here far longer than you have.incognito wrote:Excuse me Serza, but the IRC was never as big as the chat is nowadays, and while it's impact was noticeable, it was never as important as it is today.
