There are forums I still visit almost daily but the drive to participate is non-existent.

It's also why most of the email lists I still belong to are set to NOMAIL (and the majority of the remainder are set to DIGEST). It wasn't until fairly recently that I became involved with the online RPG world (I actually wasn't aware of it until maybe four or five years ago), and I went pretty much directly to the blogs, do not read the forums, do not collect $200.<br /><br />The only forums I participated in at all were the SJG Forums, and that only because that was where the official announcements for GURPS were being made (and they seemed to be reasonably well-moderated). Now that I'm not much involved with that game, I hardly even glance at those, either.faoladhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691952430041394614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239577512598038009.post-7120498160693301352012-09-12T19:18:11.661-07:002012-09-12T19:18:11.661-07:00Blogging is a great way to organize your thoughts ...Blogging is a great way to organize your thoughts around activities you really enjoy and want to share with others!

You would think if we were so unimportant than they wouldn't have noticed our meager existence. I will stay up late tonight wondering why, oh why they don't like bloggers. ha. Good post.

It would only take one complete moron to send a otherwise good discussion spiraling out of control, to be then locked by power hungry fascist Mods, moving through the forums with their own agenda in hand.<br /><br />ERIC!ERIC!https://www.blogger.com/profile/18251132223571608976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239577512598038009.post-67951695125964835412012-09-12T11:14:55.382-07:002012-09-12T11:14:55.382-07:00You remind me why I enjoy 4chan's traditional ...You remind me why I enjoy 4chan's traditional gaming board (/tg/, if you've never been) as much as I do; despite the faults that an almost completely anonymous forum has, the fact that there are significantly less clashes of personality (since everybody is identified as "Anonymous"), and less blatant attention-grabbing.<br /><br />Sure, there are still idiots, but it's also one of the most creative places around. You don't have to know a lot of people or have the right friends to get your view heard, you just have to put it out there and see what people think.<br /><br />Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596442998967851832noreply@blogger.com
