Why forums are dead

>go to forum to look up an old guide
>read the comments
>70% of the users in the comments are banned
>most have post histories of 500+

Maybe they didn't realize how precarious their position was, when forums were in demand.

And years after one of them insulted you, you're still so salty you have to make threads about them on Sup Forums.

wow, you're a genius, you read me like an open book

no really, don't blame twitter and facebook on the downfall of forums

Check forums for answer to my problem.
>nvm found the answer you can close the thread now lol

I got an infraction on the PCSX2 forums for pointing out another user pirated their ISO’s.

They call it “witch hunting”.

I messaged the mod. No reply of course.

Forums die because of power tripping mod kiddies

>bump thread from 6 years ago
>"has anyone found the solution to this?"
>some faggot mod crawls up your ass for bumping an old thread instead of posting a new one

Sounds like you were snitching, you little bitch. Snitches get stitches, and infractions.

You deserve it, cuck

I feel terrible about the hours I sank into forums as a kid.

I'd probably feel worse about imageboards if I could see a post count or something similar though. But still forums are extremely sterile and boring social environments.

>Forums die because of power tripping mod kiddies
This sums it up
Moderation has always been a difficult topic, that few mods ever mastered

Fucking faggot I’d have banned you right away

Idk what I'd use for my fanfiction needs if SP, QQ and SV died.

>Sup Forums post count
Dear God how horrifying

>a violation of global rules
>muh snitching

It’s okay for a shitty mod to call put a user for pirating, but a regular user gets an infraction.

That’s dogshit and you know it.

oh deary me, the samefagging on this thread is quite deplorable, dont you agree old chap?

I want to find this mod and congratulate him.

Lmao, it's perfectly legal to download ISOs of games that you own. Making your own ISOs is a colossal pain in the ass. Fuck outta here, faggot.

God damn, I'll have been using this place for a decade as of sometime next year. I've used it pretty consistently outside of a lull back around 2011 or so. I can only imagine that my post count is at least over three thousand or so.

>(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)
violation of global rule 1, NO snitching

fuck off dude why do you care if a kid pirated his videogame
why do you care about enforcing stupid global rules and pointing out violations
glad you are not a Sup Forums janitor, hopefully

No it isn’t

>open WINCDEMU
>Create iso
>patch iso with iso tool

Done

Fuck off nigger

haha, if you're anything like me you should try closer to 100k.. I used a forum for a few months and had a post count of 4k+, I can only imagine what my count must be like on Sup Forums, I've been using this site for like 11 years.

Dear newfag, fuck you. The end

this.

Sounds like you're assmad you weren't a mod.

what "rules" are you even referring to? If a kid has pirated .ISOs on his hard drive, that's not an infraction even if he accidentally revealed it with screenshot. I'm assuming that piracy rule is only concerned with the discussion of methods of pirating media within the forum.

fuck off snitch

Niggers

>having a problem with piracy
>having a problem with piracy of video games
you must be one of those tards from Sup Forums

You're not even reading your own fucking rules. My assumption was fucking correct. This shit is only about discussing piracy.

Remember when mods started banning oldfags for gamergate and then all good content moved to infini? I member.

Huh I guess there are still some goo forums left.

>post links or refer to

This also covers your emulog.txt file if you post and it has

(Metal Gear Solid 2: En, Fr, It, Es [pandemonium].iso) written in it.

Having an iso in your downloads folder is also enough to be infracted.

Also the correct answer is Facebook!

Says the word iso, gets thread locked and infracted.

So now tell me I’m wrong. He didn’t even say downloaded. Just “I have ISO’s”

>mfw people are pathetic enough to care about this shit and even hold a multi-year grudge over it

gamergaters evolved into kekistan fags so that was a good thing

I've always hated forums, i',m glad they're dying.

Friendly reminder that without forums and idiots sitting in closed facebook groups future generations will have no lecture notes and test questions in advance!

Not the guy (s) you talked to but how is saying ISO bannable anywhere? I used to make ISOs of actual games I owned, what's wrong with that?
That never implies piracy
Its like saying torrent and emulators should be illegal because some people use it for piracy

you think western forums are bad?

i once wanted to join a chinese forum because they had some fap material i wanted, but you have to pay real money to view the thread.

i wanted to get this shit bad enough that I actually would have paid.

google translate the how to become a member page.

it's like 2 pages of confusing clusterfuck process with 20 steps.

1st register here
then here
then use this service to send $10 chink shekels to this email, make sure you put this code in your message
blah blah blah
wait 1 weeek,

i never got those pics.

fucking chink niggers.

Oh God, I remember when I first joined a forum when I was 11. Crappy grammar, lots of "!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!!1!" in replies, thread title (and sometimes the post) in caps lock, etc.

Good times.

That's what you get for wanting to be a rice mixer.

I'm going to assume that you're 20 now - looking back at old forum/internet posts from a decade ago is really amusing. It was a much different time, and it's kind of adorable really; a lot less negative in general but dumber in ways. Also you're always bound to find at least one username that looks like xXcr4zyg1rlXx or some shit.

I can't describe the feeling whenever I look at my old forum posts. It's like the combination of cringe and nostalgia.

I think that does describe it well, at least for me. I don't really have too many forum footprints, however, as I've only belonged to about four that require accounts (two of which I still use and are both about six years old).

I have a big footprint on a forum where I used to be active (700+ posts and donor status). The scene back then (2010 to 2014) was very much alive.
