This place is so dead

Spend more time at discord these days, I think the upgrade kind of killed old rage3d. Speed was killing it here for the most part. And still getting weird errors in threads tonight I see.

It’s mostly because the new mods sucked the life out of this forum. You can no longer have fun without someone throwing a fit. So people who wanted to have fun left.

Now it’s just me talking to myself about whether a game is trash or dope.

The mods have let people have plenty of fun. In fact, this is one of the more lightly-moderated communities on the Web. We just cracked down on homophobic content, which isn’t acceptable in the modern age.

I stopped posting once folks moved to Discord. It’s good for a real-time chat board but not a good replacement for this site.

Good to see you, Munkus! We are actually experimenting with threaded conversations in a couple of channels, so now might be the time to give it another shot! :up:
 
The biggest problem, seems to be database related. It needs to be looked at, but out DB expert hasn't been able to take a peek. Once that gets looked that, hopefully the forum will get snappy again. But we are aware of the issues and sorry for the rough ride as we work through it.

Nailed it.
 
Yeah for some reason the movies thread is nothing but error for me, the only way in for me is to go to first post and then last page. I dunno the gaming threads seem active to me since most times I've come here there's always a thread or three that have new posts. Rest is slow for sure, I posted something inflammatory in PnR and got nothing and it's been over a day. The movies/tv shows/got new stuff thread are the only signs of life other than some odd thread here and there and gaming. Oh well it is what it is.

Or...

Less focus could be placed on Discord and more on this place since here is the only reason the Discord exists.

Technically the Discord is separate from Rage3D the forum. I'm not the administrator, or moderator, there and it isn't owned or managed by Lupine (Current owner of Rage3D). So all of my focus is on this forum.
 
The trend of discord replacing forums sucks, so much info that was normally available for everyone is suddenly hidden by a bunch of invite only discords.

There is no going back to the actual old system. Once we get the DB issues sorted, I hope we can then focus down on things like themes,features and refinement.

Forums like this are invaluable as resources and so if Rage3D ever actually went away... imho it would be a pretty big loss of information.​

Yup. That's the biggest issue I see with Discord, is that it's not really a very good durable information store. I still search back through Rage3d threads from the early 2000s.
 
If this forum goes away, it will be a lot of time I will get back to dick around on another forum… :bleh:
 
Typically Hardforum has been my go to place. I used to visit EVGA forums but EVGA killed their GPU business. Then there was also overclock.net which is lively but I only go there for business.

For now raging hard dick is what it is…

The problem with that is that by then there won't be a lot of ragers left to use it. Just sayin'

And yes, it would be sad, but it is what it is.
 
I'm still here. I just don't get to game anymore. Although unless there's a GTA6 or RDR3, I don't see myself gaming ever again. None of the games are fun since I'm an old fart now.

:lol:, I've hit long runs of this myself. Where it feels like there is nothing I want to play. Luckily I have a huge back catalogue of crap to go through. I just started up Mirrors Edge Catalyst because I was getting bored.

I dont think its a "change is bad" type deal, its just...the changes hasnt really made anything better, maybe a bit worse.. The reply window which used to open a new window/page...is now where the quick reply response is......getting to the last page of a thread requires you to push the tiny arrow buttons BEFORE you enter the thread (otherwise you'd have to manually enter the page number at the top...as the option to change pages isnt even at the bottom of the current page. Heck if any of this UI stuff was resolved already...i'd like to know cuz i dont know how to get back to the old familar ways of doing stuff. There might have been an exodus or even just lesser participation from some folks.

Getting to the 'first unread post' of a thread is what broke the site for me. I still don't know how to do it.
