Why is this on Sup Forums?

The golden age has passed.
Feast upon the corpse.

All forums migrated to facebook groups. Feels pretty bad man.

I used to be pretty active back in the Nintendo and Sony official forum days.

>tfw both dead

Yeah I hate it. I run a site where 80% of the user base moved over to Facebook with only a small handful remaining on the actual forum.

The posting culture is like night & day. The forum is similar to user imageboard culture & shitposting but the facefuck group is just normie fag shit where barely anyone ever says anything interesting & they just repost crap from the trending feed..

who /gametalk/ here?

I still go to pokecommunity since /vp/ is mostly shit.

Only old users will remember this board and the insanity it contained.

>no more bioware forums

That was like two years ago user

Shut down in 2010 laddie.

Holy fug, user, why you gotta bring up my embarrassing childhood?

Did the site ever go back online after it went down for maintenance all those years ago?
I'm kinda scared to check.

No.

Apparently Mike got cancer or some shit and had expensive medical bills and had to stop everything. He survived, but never brought the site back up, and just left it as is.

There was a fan revival several years back, but it's on its deathbed right now.

internet forums were pretty alright until like 2012 then some sort of rapid degradation began

everything is almost unreadable now

Damn shame. At least he pulled through.

That website was my first foray into the internet, user; to be honest, I'm relieved that no one can ever find my autismo again.

Any DSmeet users here?

>the only places left are Sup Forums, NeoGAF, and Reddit
>NeoGAF is facism, and Reddit is filled with idiots
>Sup Forums is the only place left worth using
>mfw

this reminded me that my first forum was a sonic forum where everyone was an oc
thank god it closed down and everything that i posted got throught the drain

>Made a thread on Sprite comics once
>The majority of anons that showed up were former members of the Bob and George Forums and explained how godawful certain people were
>One of em explained how one guy got so butthurt at him over some petty bullshit that he made an edgy avatar of his shitty sprite recolor shooting his recolor

>Remember this other forum that was like the BnG forums, but was from that retard Psyguy
>It was much worse, in almost every single regard. Everyone was a major fag about certain things.
>It was also where Kirbopher and some other shitty "e-celebs" went, and boy were they douchebags to everyone. They still are
>mfw it died off completely

Me. I like to search for the latest post (usually from around 2011) that says something like "where is everybody?".

Then only silence

Not vidya-related, but I only recently got into the Marimite anime, and the only places to discuss those are all dead. Feels a bit sad looking at all those 2006-2009 posts on dead forums.

>Ctrl F
>"Lemmy's Land"
>0 results

The future sucks.

I remember that second one.
I also remember they did a podcast but never bothered to listen.
I think it got kind of popular for a bit too.

this place isn't worth using

badwebcomicswiki.shoutwiki.com/wiki/TOME_Respec

>Voiced in only a handful of games and anime
>They're all shitty games and anime
>He think's he's hot shit just because of this

For fucks sake, a few of those who once did voice shit for Sup Forums and some other boards got better roles than him.

>A Sup Forumsmrade ended up getting into Funimation, he's gotten some major roles and is pretty damn chill outside of his work
>Duke I dont know where he went, but i'm pretty sure he got somewhere
>Nyanners still does youtube shit videos and hasnt been as funny since 2012

I remember when the internet was about legos

Any else use to post on stoptazamo?

I came for the free manga stayed because I didn't have anything else to do.

Yes I do, but here we are on a site with 200k+ active users right now.
I do other other imageboards, but I've grown so accustomed to the speed here that I'm making the situation worse.
Tragedy of the Commons, dude.

I'm positive someone on Sup Forums used to go to Delta Star. I did sprite animation when I was a kid, and that was the website where I learned to be an internet dipshit.

I dont remember anything about a podcast, unless you're referring to the shitfest podcasts Psyguy would hold every now and then. I only remember a couple of em, but one of the girls who served for Psyguy explained years later just how shitty they were.

>Tyson Hesse, one of the few guys who served for Psyguy, ended up becoming a professional and working for Archie
>Psyguy was revealed to being a legitimate misogynist pedofuck, with one of the members he saved from suicide getting so pissed at him that he told him to fuckoff entirely[/spoiler]

Nyanners is a very popular streamer now

>posted cringeworthy faggotry and made sprite comics on BZPower
>went too far according to one ridiculously strict rulefag, got a warning
>thought I was banned, mope over losing my almost 600 posts
>go on to all dem free flash game sites and move on with life
>come back years later
>it's become another SJW infested hellhole of no fun allowed
>the same people that were there in 2003 or so are still there and are likely the only active users left
>tfw that could have been me if I hadn't been a dummy
What the fuck happened to forums in general? Is it cults of personality formed around who has the earliest join date/highest post count/most good boy points?

I honestly dont understand how one can become a popular streamer. I thought about doing it since it'd probably help me play games more to kinda vent things out, but I dont know why i'm not attempting it.

More or less, yes. This could apply to any /vg/ general thread

Moderators and Admins have far too much power and ban people based on personal and political whims which causes people to leave because it causes the fun to be drained out of the place meaning less active users

The same thing happened to Somethingawful and Gamefaqs

Social media and imageboards just accelerated the process

Nyanners became a fucking sellout to the tumblr crowd

>BZPower
>flash game sites
literally me

>forum I left only more popular when I started using Sup Forums exclusively

This is what it feels like when doves cry

>member of a Paper Mario roleplay community
>our characters were all Xnauts and just fucked around on the moonbase, occasionally had big sweeping stories but mostly just slice of life bullshit
>autismal as fuck, but some of the most fun I've had with strangers on the internet
>started on GameFAQs, migrated to Invision
>the forum is still there, but every post and topic is past the age cut-off so they're all gone
>like almost a decade ago since anyone was active
>still Steam friends with some of them
>we never talk

feels bad man

>Nyanners tried jumping in on the Nutshack meme, only to churn out this piece of shit

youtube.com/watch?v=Efv_rmEcBC8

Yeah, because shitposting is so much better than that right?

I wish I could look at my old forum to see the posts 12 year old me made, but mine it got deleted a while ago

>he thinks this site's any better

was anyone here ever on the flashplayer forum?

yep. reminds me of the days where most people would type out full sentences and get called dumb for tlkn lik this. now social media and mobileshit encourages retarded text speak and emoji spam cancer. not saying it was 100% a bastion of intelligence and proper english, of course. but it sure was a million times better than twitter garbage. even now, I'm lazy and barely capitalize.

I miss NSider.

>visit old gaming community forum
>latest announcement is a random blog post from the owner
>enter sub-forum
>last post, in the top thread, was from 2011
>'online users' shows only 2 guests browsing (one probably a bot, the other being me)
>see one guy who used to browse when it was active, in a more recent introduction thread (still several years old), asking where everyone went with no replies

Never forgetti

aside from neogaf and SA are there any forums that are still alive?

>visit an old dead forum that I used to visit years ago
>find a post that I had made a decade ago

>tfw they had the auto updating 'days until kirby wii isn't announced' banner

Mass Attack made a lot of people salty

Quite a few people still post on gamefaqs, Smogon, Pokecommunity and other sites filled with autists.

Ding dong

>Used to post on Neoseeker a ton
>Favourite subforums started to die
>Stop visiting
>Come back 8 years later
>The only subforum left with activity is Loungin'
>Most of the threads are shit like "True or False", "Would you rather", "Tattoos on girls"
>Forum is so ded they can afford to have links to the only active subforums on the site in the header
The site used to have six digits of unlogged guests and four to five of logged in members.

Acmlm fags represent.

Who the fuck goes on Neoseeker when GameFAQs exist?

Because not everybody posted their guides on Gamefaqs, for starters.

you know, I remember some people back then saying that the things in the internet will stay there forever. Fast forward to now and most of the old stuff are down and gone. Some link are forever gone. All those mmo, game resources, mods, art, documents, programs, all gone, just gone.

>le cynical tired gamer thread #362

Reminder to report and hide this dumb shit every chance you get

>nsider died
>nsider2 died this past September.

i remember user.
the number one place for mario brothers fanfiction.
now im sad.

Who /the flood/ here?

go to bed, the adults are talking.

stop

GameSpot System Wars forum 2005-2006 were great. Constant war between sheep,lemmings, cows, and hermits.

Smogon, Pokecommunity, Serebii, Nuzlocke, and even Marilland somehow have managed to be shielded from the greater Web 1.0 forum purge.

Some franchises will go on forever like Star Trek and Pokemon while some like Babylon 5 or Medabots fade into obscurity while some just exist like Digimon in a strange grey area

literally board culture, deal with it

i missing gamingw and the literal ten year old girl that posted there, and that spic who drew thicc anime babes

I never cared about forums, but 2006 Sup Forums was entertaining. I'm basically only here for CRPG threads now, shitposting is fucking boring and the banter is weak.

>tfw all those sites you used to use are dead and buried
>tfw all your posts are permanently lost in time
>tfw no one will ever read any of them

>tfw Lemmy's Land is never coming back
>tfw The Good, The Bad, and The Torte 3 will never be completed

>and even Marilland

Holy shit he still plays? His forum can't be more active than Serebii forums tfw the weekly sprite contest is kill and your HDD died with all of the sprites you archived and made but never entered

>10 years

>mfw on a forum right now

oh fuck

>tfw Something Awful and Gaia are walking zombies
Sup Forums had grudges against both but I always liked them. I'm sad to watch them decay.

What the actual fuck happen to SA anyways? And the answer can't be just that they're full of SJw

is the website even still up?

hold on im gonna go check

I found Sup Forums from the press start to play forums, was a shit webcomic.

>last update March 2010

...SS13 would not exist if it wasn't stolen from the creators house with a flash drive. What do you think is this most beautiful dream that was forgotten anons?

Only true oldfags remember Camp Hyrule.

Wasn't SomethingAwful where the very first Sup Forums users stole content from?

It went downhill when they started charging users for "premium" accounts.

how fukcing new

RIP half the 2007 to 2012 Vocaloid videos thanks to Youtube Red.

gaia was never nothing but a cesspool of weebs
is it any different now?

Paywall killed inflow of new blood. Old blood either went away, or stagnated and became a circlejerking echochamber.

we came from there

plus fark and whoever the fuck else was sitting around in raspberry heaven

when will the other half be gone? it's all fucking no taste garbage

:(

Look at the silver lining. Normalfags all moved to social media, so what's left of the internet can't be that bad, right? Even if it's smaller than it used to be.

Had a lot of fun with a Zelda roleplay group from 1up back in '03-'04. Died a year later.

The invisionfree forum is still up and I drop an unseen post there every couple of months for shits. No one else has posted in years.

t someone born after 97

We're just a different flavor of shit.

Most forums are moderated by the literal Gestapo. You can't say a single word outside the topic without having your post deleted and getting a warning. On the other hand, there are people with high post count or friends with the mods that can get away with anything.

>the literal Gestapo
Did Hitler and Himmler intentionally lose the war just so they could go into hiding and mildly inconvenience you at the age of 100+?

Ayyy what was your neo username?

What, you think they died or something?
