Do you think Gamefaqs will survive?
Vote
They said outside of Gamefaqs, online forums are now going the way of guides with the rise of discord and reddit to build a community for gamers. This sale however just reinforces the dying forum webspace and why this sale of the online forum could be the beginning of the end ResetEra which was a forum rebrand of NeoGAF that was used by several prominent members of the gaming industry such as Jeff Bell from Microsoft, was one of the first forums where users could create accounts and make topics to discuss gaming news and other off topic discussions. Many of the members will brush up against more conservative members of the gaming community as neo-puritan and social justice bullies before they made their safe space on the internet Despite this, the forums remained a valuable resource for those interested in gaming news at least MOBAFire bought ResetEra who are informing users that they would join the new website and overall it seems as though the community is mostly positive on the news and MOBA Network sees this acquisition as a useful community resource for discussing video game news while allowing them to moderate itself independently. While that is good news for many, it will be interesting to see what if the new owners will do in the future if the community starts to diminish as it has in many other gaming forum communities such as IGN and Gamespot.

What the fuck does this even mean? ResetEra was created in 2017 by a bunch of disgruntled insane moderators from NeoGAF and was full of super SJW weirdos. I seriously don't understand that sentence and why anyone would think that. One of the what? May they rest in piss. I was banned from there in 2 days for defending my use of the word "female".

Discord absolutely sucks for discussing a variety of topics. Most channels other than the meme-sharing or general chat channels go completely unused or are used very rarely.
Forums like this are a way more interesting way to keep up with the conversations of the day. I hate the constant motion of a chat channel, especially a crowded one. --- I write Naruto Fanfiction. But I am definitely not a furry. ... Copied to Clipboard!

They'd have to strip the people making the rules and leave them tied up on a beach full of ants covered in milk and honey. It's the worst run place I've visited in the 20 years I've been on these sites. You can't even use a gmail or yahoo email to register.

This website needs to die off already so I can migrate fully to redditReddit is awful. Anything with an upvote/downvote system that influences where topics and comments appear is just terrible. There's so much jockeying for upvotes and attention, and so many people just outright steal jokes and popular comments just to karma-farm. It's such an annoying system. --- I write Naruto Fanfiction.

Isn't reddit basically a forum? Just with an upvote/downvote system that causes issues. The posting structure makes it difficult to follow anything based on time. Even if you sort by "new" there are still different conversations going on at once in one topic. Also, the nature of Reddit makes topics die rather quickly. Unless you post in an extremely small subbreddit, making a post 24 hours after a topic's creation (usually even less than that) is usually a pointless exercise because barely anyone will read it. --- We all live in a Yellow SUV! a Yellow SUV! ...

Yeah been lurking here since 99. There is nothing like a good ole traditional forum. I've discovered so many forums and ways to communicate online over the years. I oddly keep coming back to this place. It's like my virtual hometown I can always go back to that hasn't hardly changed.
