These Discords will never replace Facepunch, but networking as much as we can could help us settle as a group somewhere if the forum does go, or at the very least keep our subcommunities together.
You should call it the FP Fallout Shelter, or FFS for short.
Man, what a shitty thing to wake up to. As a lot of people, I'd be really sad if the forums go and I'll find it hard to migrate somewhere else. Please, think twice about what you might do. I think the best solution might be to hand the keys to someone else.
Don't forget that Hezzy deleted this from the official list because we were meanies to him.
Garry really has no idea what he's doing.
I'm starting to think his success his pure luck at this point.
Oh god no I'd rather chop off my dick than move to reddit Whatever problems facepunch's community has it's a thousand times better than most of the shitty reddit subs.
How many of your employees did learn, connect, develop and get to know the company, your games, games in general on FP?
but mom I want to be like the reddit and discord
gif massive ad revenue pls
Rip in piss 12 years of being a member and meeting majority of the people I talk to to this day. Spent almost half my life on these forums, and though the latest chage was dumb mostly for the video section, I liked newpunch as a site a good bit.
Like, Garry, look at that list of Discords, that's s fucking mess. There is no community with those, they're separate entities who have nothing in common except for this site. This site is the actual community behind all those Discords. Thats the problem. Discord is not at all a substitute for a larger, broader community like this. It helps to supplement it, but not to supplant it.
You talk about being unappreciated this thread is full of people talking about the fact that they want this place to stay and like it even in spite of the changes they don't like. They do appreciate what you've done and the forum as a whole, they just don't appreciate being disregarded themselves.
Just gonna paste this (yes from discord haha irony):

yep
discord is great as a side thing
nice to have one for subcommunities to bullshit
keeps the forum posts juicy and informative
it cant replace a forum altogether
because without a forum
its impossible to grow a discord
discords are purely referral based
you cant stumble across htem
and insular, single topic discords have the same problem as insular, single topic websites with poor SEO
large multi topic forums grow because you find them in many different ways
Good job guys
I usually don't mind the forum changes but you're actively trying to shoot yourself in the foot with this one you absolute rarts.

Anyone who is begging Gary to not shut down fp is delusionally begging a dog that's been run over by a truck to not submit to sweet death and stay with you so you can get your emotional fix, because you just can't let go.
Why not just hand over the forums to somebody else then?
FP Nintendo Discord
This link is out of date.
I get all my news from Sensationalist Headlines and Polidicks, most of my friends are from FP and I spend more time in FP discords than elsewhere. Discussion threads are much more engaging than useless drivel e.g. Leddit, 4banned. Not to mention the internet history behind it and useful resources hosted on it.
Closing the forum would cripple my ass, so at least I'm dependent on it myself. As other negative reaction has stated, closing them altogether is a horrible idea.
Fixed.
Further still, Garry, you talk about how the forums don't offer any benefit which is just entirely incorrect. The forums were a driving force, if not the primary driving force, behind the success of Gmod to begin with. It was the community putting it to use and eventually developing and creating specifically for it that made it such a success. Fuck, arguably on that front the entire reason you have the company and the other games is because the forum stuck with you through thick and thin. Quit chasing trends and quit taking this, "My way or the highway." approach with literally everything you do. The people here are more than happy to stick around and help where they can if you actually step back and let them.
Please don't destroy facepunch. It's all I have.
Please pass the baton to someone who wants to here. I don't blame you for wanting to move on, but don't take it down with you
pastebin of @Grenadiac 's links w/ fixed Nintendo link:
Facepunch Discord List FIXED
This is worse than Thatcher closing down the mines
Quick, spend all your FP coins before the market collapses!!!

Been a lurker since 07.
Constantly making awfuls changes that no one asks for, completely ignoring questions or suggestions, removing highly active subforums, never finishing basic forum functionalities, and when people get too antsy he threatens to shut the forums down. You don't need to explain to garry how important FP is to you or how it's still an extremely active forum, etc. Why bother trying to gain the sympathy of a guy who wants to put a community of the chopping block solely because he has no personal benefit from it? He doesn't care. You mean nothing to him. Any compromise or concession he has ever made was because he ordained it. garry will never even entertain the idea of letting anyone else be the dev because he will never willingly give up control of anything.
Speaking common sense is useless when he's not even playing the same game as you. He can turn around and play the victim all he wants but people who've been here long enough know this is true.
You can still love the community of other prisoners without loving the prison warden. When the forum finally dies everyone will eventually let go and move on with their lives.
How will he fulfill his power fantasies then?
Well... I guess this has been a long time coming. I've only been lurking because everyone changed name and avatar so I wanted to figure who's who but... No point doing that anymore. You've all been great, and this has been the best community I've been apart of for the last ten or so years. Thank you for everything, lads.
