(10 November 2019 - 11:45 PM)especially better imo if you want to update on a topic but like only occasionally (e.g. a project you're working on or a let's play of a game)
(10 November 2019 - 11:44 PM)it's hard for me to explain precisely why but forums just like work better for meaningful discussion over a longer period of time ig
(10 November 2019 - 11:44 PM)yeah, you can also kind of respond at your own pace on forums. Discord conversations are often like... it's awkward to respond to something that happened a while ago, especially if the server is active, but even just in general. since you sort of need to keep track of multiple conversations at once at times, and it's not like it has a good reply/quote system ala forums, closest thing really is to copy/paste or screenshot the text you're responding to and then type a response below
(09 November 2019 - 11:29 AM)Adding on to what's been said, I just enjoy the order and structure of the forums. You can look through the threads and know exactly what people are talking about. Conversation get lost and buried on discord which is why I'm not a big fan of it.
(06 November 2019 - 05:31 AM)I enjoy that part of forums too. They become niche communities where you can have very specialized conversations as opposed to the cluttered mess in Discord.
(31 October 2019 - 01:17 AM)Yeah, part of me wishes I could go back to the times forums were more prevalent. I really enjoyed how even several different forums based off the same franchise could feel so different. It's not like what we now is bad though, I just feel nostalgic for old times.
(30 October 2019 - 06:39 AM)also forums in general are just not as prevalent, there are so many other ways to interact these days, like Twitter, FB, Tumblr, etc., where you can just throw your thoughts into the void. I think that's the real issue and that the only people rly interested in forums these days are either super dedicated to whatever they're about, have a specific reason/need to (e.g. support forums), or grew up with them and are thus attached to the idea enough to continue to try and use them (this was kinda me for a while lol but things happen, I couldn't keep it up forever)
(30 October 2019 - 06:36 AM)I've posted on SF for various reasons ofc but in terms of like making friends and stuff it's p. much just been smaller groups/forums, yeah. mainly FES
(27 October 2019 - 10:08 PM)Only reason I'm even on Serenes was because I had hacking questions. @Ezra yeah I figured it must be an age thing. I've been called an old man by many a child because I use Facebook.
(26 October 2019 - 05:49 AM)I think it's because a lot of newer FE players didn't frequent forums growing up. And those that do probably end up on Serenes.
(25 October 2019 - 07:30 AM)I would love to revitalize this place I'm just not sure how that would be done. I mean with how main stream FE seems to have become I'm honestly surprised we don't have more members.
(21 October 2019 - 08:04 PM)tfw u not coming here results in not seeing a PM from last month T_T ok gonna try and check at least every couple weeks now even if there's nothing here, lol...
(21 October 2019 - 07:54 PM)I come here almost never because I've fallen out of habit and basically just accepted the forums are dead it's neat you come here every day tho
it's neat you come here every day tho
