I'm in lock down! Of course I'd come by.

I'll try Gab thanks for the referral. There's Minds.com too.

http://politicalforum.com/index.php is pretty good for politics.

Hard to spend too much time here as notice that someone replied is not working here. Or works very sporadically.

As a heads up, we're on track to start testing the forums with legacy users this weekend!

I will follow-up with more details soon as we're ready to start letting people in.
What do you mean? What forums? And what's a legacy user?

Sarcasm? It's literally in the thread title.

And the legacy thing is explained here.

Come on man, the mods edited the title after I posted. I wasn't be sarcastic, I legitimately had never heard of forum 2.0

Title was updated before you made your post today, but either way.
You can't prove that. Revisionist history! This whole V2 forums thing has just been a long con to trick Silentpony!

Fun fact: The new forums (yep, mods have been testing it for a few days) puts "Edited" tags and timestamps on posts that have been edited. Kinda like how every other piece of forum software on the planet does, (not sure why this forum never did that tbh, would've come in handy on a number of occasions).

Little late to reply, but I represent the sleeping lurker group here. I still check the site and the forums once or twice per week, usually looking for interesting me discussions or videos. The only thing I regularly watch is Zero Punctuation and it was the reason I ended up on this site in the first place. I even was browsing this site for over a year before I created this account and I doubt I will ever stop visiting it unless it will literally disappear.

Haven't been here in a while, thought it was going to take 2 weeks for V2 forums but it seems it's been over a month.

That's just the time-stretching effect of coronavirus.

I can't believe that these forums are going to go. These are the only forums I have ever participated in, and I can't believe I'm seeing their final days.

My one regret is... that I have... boneitis.

The 'Saelune' on the new forums is not me. My favorite game is Morrowind, and I have not yet gotten the new Animal Crossing. Whoever is posing as me, go fuck yourself.

Protip, I never use lowercase for my name.

Thanks, I've disabled that account.
How would signing up for me work? Is the username lost to me? I do not care to be 'Saelune1' or something, so would I have to come up with a new username?

Nope, I immediately banned that person and deleted the account. I can get you your original username.
Ok, I just now signed up. Thanks.

Ugh, if impostors are gonna be a thing, I'm gonna have to make an account now.

I've already been the victim of an impostor situation in the past.
Back in the day, when they tried merging this forum and the GameFront forums (and they even tried using the same moderators for both, which ended up being a disaster, but I digress), someone who wasn't me created an "IceForce" account over there and used it to start trolling around.

Then I got warnings over here for it because the same moderators were shared between sites.
The lengths some people will go to, to try and get you warned and banned...

Surely they would notice that your email and IP were different??

You'd think so, but the mods at the time (all gone now) cared not for hard evidence like that.

Yeah, I was initially unsure if I wanted to sign up, but then I saw the imposter. I have no doubt it is someone from that discord that is made up of like, 80% of people who hate me. I did also wonder if imposters were going to be a thing, and well, sadly yep.
