I'm already in there, but I'm not active outside of SMFFFC. B8 disappearing might make me a little more active in some of the special interest channels, but I don't think I'd ever be a regular in the main chat channel.

There's also a B8 Facebook group if you're into that. If you worry about tying your real life 'sona to it, you can always make a pseudonymous Facebook account.

The people of CE have also flocked to their own servers in Discord in the event that Fandom decides to start removing more boards permanently. I wouldn't be surprised if the other boards were to do the same.

I'm already in the Discord but never use it since the chat just isn't for me.
I'd definitely consider going if 1) A significant portion of who's left here also went over and B) We used the forum mode, which is probably as close as we'll get to replicating what we have here. Of course, as others have pointed out, this would really just be kicking the can some number of years down the road as Discord has also already begun its enshittification so it's just a matter of time before it, too, becomes unusable. --- Let the voice of love take you higher, With this gathering power, go beyond even time! ...

Ah man the b8train! Almost forgot about the site evolving into a more sprite focused site over time (I think GANON was one of the main sprite rippers) and I remember having some fun live-breaking the site with weird updates constantly and then tanking the value of the sprite-buying currency with a fake stock market. Good times.
I did pick up boardEight.com a while back and could probably throw together a message board system that looks and functions like classic GameFAQs without too much trouble if there was an interest in it. Was kind of thinking of throwing something like that together as a fun side project at some point just for nostalgia sake anyway. --- thcam ruz elliw red ... Copied to Clipboard!

I already joined the Discord shortly after steiner made it, but the amount of people who wouldn't join it really surprises me. Instead of continuing the relationships that they cultivated over a decade or two, they would just bounce because the format is no longer a strict message board? I just can't wrap my head around the idea that people here not really mattering and love the "message board experience" that much.

NFUN posted... we should probably plan that contingency now instead of later when we may not be able to. seems a very dangerous thing to just assumeMaybe. I wouldn't want a new board to compete with board 8 as long as it exists so that's what makes it tricky. Worst-case scenario if we're not prepared, the board shuts down suddenly, discord becomes the jumping-off point to inform people of a new board, and there ends up being multiple competing boards. Even in that case, whatever the best board is that comes of that should at least be decent. --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif ... Copied to Clipboard!
