Toggle shoutbox Shoutbox

@ Mage Girl	:	(17 February 2020 - 02:33 AM) I can safely say I'm so far the only person to post to this shoutbox in 2020...
@ Fire Blazer	:	(24 December 2019 - 03:17 AM) naw, it's when the bots make collaborated efforts to crawl places, lol
@ kirant	:	(23 December 2019 - 05:20 AM) What do we do on Index Day? Give each other bots?
@ Fire Blazer	:	(16 December 2019 - 01:39 AM) LOL
@ xcrash1998	:	(30 November 2019 - 11:07 PM) New fictional holiday "Index Day"
@ Fire Blazer	:	(28 November 2019 - 08:52 PM) yeah just guest bots and stuff I think we really were active once upon a time though...
@ kirant	:	(26 November 2019 - 03:48 PM) No invasion. I imagine a lot of guest bots visiting for indexing purposes.
@ xcrash1998	:	(26 November 2019 - 02:15 PM) How is most people online at 959 for the 8th of October of this year? Is that right? Did I miss something or was there somekind of spambot invasion?
@ xcrash1998	:	(26 November 2019 - 02:06 PM) I know what you mean, it gets awkard to post something unrelated to the current conversation, and even if somebody picks up on it, it would just become a huge mess in the c hatbox if a multitude of groups talk about different topics.
@ Fire Blazer	:	(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)
@ Fire Blazer	:	(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
@ Fire Blazer	:	(10 November 2019 - 11:44 PM) but that's def just not hte same ig, idk
@ Fire Blazer	:	(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
@ Elwood	:	(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.
@ kirant	:	(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.
@ Ezra	:	(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.
@ Fire Blazer	:	(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)
@ Fire Blazer	:	(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
@ Elwood	:	(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.
@ kirant	:	(26 October 2019 - 09:39 PM) It's strange. I don't think I've ever posted on Serenes...period. I've always been a fan of smaller forums.

So I tried having a URI so people could join but that kinda resulted in problems

so umm instead, if you want to be in the skype chat, please add me (Skype ID: ballin1337) to Skype and just ask me.

It's generally a nonsense chat and we sometimes have calls (but you don't have to participate, albeit it's cool to: most people don't and just type or show up whenever they're bored). We tend to talk about all types of video games, with some talk of other random stuff (whatever comes up). We're mostly cool to talk about whatever though (we just don't usually have enough people for certain subjects like sports to actually hold a conversation, especially since people like bb and Shu aren't around nearly as much anymore, lol).

If you don't want to be in the chat, maybe you have some better ideas as to how to keep the members interacting together once in a while? I'm kinda low on ideas myself sooooo XP

Signature thanks to Shu.
