I love this space. I know I'm not always the best poster around, but this space brings me comfort. Its about more than 10 years since I've been here, but the sense of belonging is always here.
The content is unlike any other space, in a time where reddit has taken over most forums, its amazing this space is still thriving.
The ratings are great, the discussions is nice, and its a big community here.
I love you guys
I look forward when we're all old farts and still posting around here
when facepunch dies i will die with it
I love you too ignhelper
but don't get any ideas now okay cuz like, incest is gross
I'll drink to that. You'll never find a place like Facepunch anywhere else.
its weird, idk if its because ive been here for so long in comparison but stuff like discord just does not feel the same
Are we talking
"cool-cousin-that-always-plays-with-you-and-has-great-stories-to-share"
or
"friendly-but-bit-weird-and-slightly-racist-uncle-with-a-developing-beer-belly"
when Facepunch goes down, helium gasmask party at my place
There is nowhere else that I feel gives the same kind of clean forum structure that I've enjoyed on facepunch. Reddit I guess is technically similar in function, but with a billion fucking subforums it doesn't feel the same.
Why not both?
I keep pretending I hate you all, but I'm still here.
I wonder what a facepunch drink would be made of, any suggestions?
I think both and a little something extra
You know, I kinda feel something similar. Even though I mostly just lurk, I still come here everyday to check out what everybody's opinion about x thing, or hear about mundane or ridiculous things they did (like biting into a duck toilet cleaner). Gives me the same kind of feeling like when I was in high school. It is a comforting thought that this is a place where people come and go all the time but there will always be regulars, in jokes and a culture that never really changes that much, even after a decade.
The fact that this place might come to an end soon makes me sad, honestly.
Monkey123 essence and cynicism.
I'm disowning you
It's been over 10 years for me. I hardly remember by life without Facepunch. I watched it grow and evolve. I saw the community rise and change. I am not even the oldest member on this forum. I know that I can come here to get some decent discussion, a set of opinions on current news, and just all around community when it comes to various topics.
I do not want facepunch to go. I would donate to a crowd-fund to keep this place running. I wonder how much it would take.
I've been here since 2014, though my old account got lost in the migration to newpunch.
Sometimes I wonder how things would be if I'd actually tried to be more involved in the forums rather than lurk.
I have Facepunch to thank for helping me through my own rough spots. As well as giving me a space where I could talk openly and honestly about my interests and activities, posting here also helped me develop my own personal views and perspectives.
After eight years of lurking and posting, I have accepted the fact that while Facepunch may have a successor, it will never truly have a replacement.
Man I just wanna hug every one of you right now
I've set explosive charges in the facepunch server rooms, which are triggered by radio transmitters I've had surgically implanted into the wall of my heart. When I die, facepunch dies with me.
Probably "cousin who is generally pretty cool but has a weird thing for gas masks that you try not to think about"
Whatever kinks you may have its not for me judge you guys
I love y'all any way
Can I have a hug
I'm sending out one to you right now through space and time
you should send a charge to every user too. don't want to leave anyone feeling lonely
facepunch is like my family and just like my real human family I rarely talk to anyone
suicide pact?
/s
Tbh reddit has gotten way too popular for my taste these days it's filled with trolls and ill-intentioned people overall. I feel like discussions here are more genuine.
Not to mention that FP has played a huge role in shaping my personality whilst growing up. If it wasn't for this place I don't think that I'd be as open-minded and liberal as I am right now.
We are a massive dysfunctional family, we fight each other from time to time then get put on time-outs if things gets rough.
But deep down we're all brothers and sisters. No incest stuff, ew.
All of you are fucking incredible and I hope to share and discuss things with all of you in the future, Facepunch or not. ♥️
If this place went down, I wouldn't know where else to go. This place is just so level-headed and dependable.
Facepunch is great and I love you all. Other forums exist, sure, but this site's culture is something else. Other forums are extremely tolerant of attention-seeking behavior and often reward the loudest users, but FP simply rewards quality posts and criticizes the bad ones. I couldn't even begin to count the number of cringey posts I see on sites like ResetEra, Smashboards, and Reddit, but on FP I can just sit back and enjoy the conversation. The high standard of post quality is fantastic.
