Then they weren't here for the correct reasons, but to use it as a private chat app because they don't have access to alternatives and this is not what a forum is for. Sorry to be quite so blunt.idk kelp seems like lots of people are leaving
as far as i'm aware it's less punishing everyone and more everyone getting caught in the crossfireStill wondering why you would punish everyone for the actions of a few...
I was going to say that the idea is more it was meant to only punish that few anyway and still doesn't affect a lot of users, butStill wondering why you would punish everyone for the actions of a few...
yeah.as far as i'm aware it's less punishing everyone and more everyone getting caught in the crossfire

I do have to say that feels extremely pessimistic. Also very incorrect."There's a few people we don't like in this huge population center, let's nuke it."
Oh sorry, not nuke, just heavy carpet bombing.I do have to say that feels extremely pessimistic. Also very incorrect.
They are basically restarting from square 1. I bet in a year all the old members will be gone and replaced by a bunch of new gen alpha kids"There's a few people we don't like in this huge population center, let's nuke it."

See I was literally just writing the same thing.Can there just be a medium here? No, as of now the forums are not completely dying, but yes there are definitely more people leaving because of this than people actually choosing to just do more outside of convos.
And no, this wasn't an evil authoritarian change with no regard for anyone, but yes there was at least one part of it that was done pretty terribly.
I'd just like to see it changed in a way that doesn't screw things up for existing members while honestly not making things much harder for newer members who would try the same thing.
Its not a punishment, no warnings have been handed out and we're not pointing fingers are individuals either. Its a limitation on a feature that wasn't intended to be used in the way people have been. Most of the active users on the forum are unaffected by this and it is mostly users who we believe to be abusing the feature who have been affected. Though yes, some particularly active users have also been affected.Still wondering why you would punish everyone for the actions of a few...

Honestly, thinking about it I think this will be a good thing in the long run.Then they weren't here for the correct reasons, but to use it as a private chat app because they don't have access to alternatives and this is not what a forum is for. Sorry to be quite so blunt.
