What he said.

I really like the forum as is, actually.
The only thing that even comes close to complaint is the backround being to bright-white.
Maybe a %10 darker shade? Or I don't know, a pattern with dog-bones and fishes in cheerful colours?
Now I'm imagining the forum in a citric wallpaper of orange.

I have so much newfound appreciation for this forum. It is so much easier to deal with than Discord. You need to talk about something very specific you can.

I found that ANY forum is easier than Discord because you don't have to repeat yourself or have conversations interrupting what you are trying to say.

The section on the Home Page called Featured Articles! has gone without a change or update for quite some time. This Week's Featured Arc remains the same panel from It's a Wonderful Dog's Life and Keene Milton is still This Week's Featured Character after more than a few weeks. Nothing's amiss, I hope. :|

That would be the Wiki you are talking about and not the forum. Though I don't think anything is wrong its just that the Wiki isn't really updated a lot. The last update was March 14th so most likely those pages aren't updated.

Its fine and you are welcome for that. For a moment I thought there was an area of the forum that I totally ignored and never visited in all of this time. :lol:

It wasn't a vocabulary issue you had the problems with though. You just confused the Wiki with the forum which is understandable.

That is saying a lot since a lot of people who live exclusively on the internet just follow anything and go along with anything. Just as long as you don't do any of that you will be fine. :)

`ppears to me the ol' Forum is still pretty active, given that Rick's on hiatus. It's a tribute to his community. :)

It is still active and people post, but it seems to be the same people however. We don't have anybody new coming and staying for the long haul unfortunately.

A you might have noticed, Amazz, since we both like to do "Happy Birthdays" to the membership, there's always been a significant number (don`t have a count - sorry) of folks who sign on but rarely participate for very long or leave after a couple of years of sometimes intense involvement. Maybe that's just how it is with FanForums.

True but I was talking more about the people who end up never posting once they make an account. The forum seems to get those more than having members slowly disappear over time which is better since it means that they at least posted here a few times and might come back.

I know, I want to post more but I feel like I came in too late. I miss forums in general and I hate social media for more or less killing them *sigh*

I would like forums to end up having a resurgence and becoming popular again also. It doesn't help that I found out about them when I was in middle school. ended up getting BANNED from a few because I was an immature little prick and spent the better part of the late 2000s/early 2010s fixated on one forum in particular that I schemed to get back on through ban jumping with different accounts. I was not a really stable person back then. :?

I would say I miss "Lemmy's Land Forum" but there are WAY too many bad memories there.

I am pretty sure everybody in my family didn't act like a lunatic trying to ban evade and get on a forum where NOBODY likes you. But the Mario fandom was my first so I ended up fixating on that.
