There's literally nothing wrong with the community, it's still as strong as it always was. If he doesn't want to pay for it fine, but he could surely find someone else willing to adopt the forum if he doesn't want it, no need to kill it.
Merging the videos section and fast threads into General Discussion while leaving SH and Polidicks separated completely has to be the most moronic thing I have ever witnessed in this forum.
Garry's losing it, take a break.
It’s been an honor. Been on here since 09 and it’s always been a daily site for me. Lmao pics, videos and that crap, lurking discussion forms relevant to me, it’s been such a huge influence on my life. Facepunch helped me build my computer. And upgrade it 6 years later. Most of all facepunch gave me a place to share my photography, and see the progress of others, even hang out with other facepunchers over seas. I know I wouldn’t have perused photography as much as I have if it wasn’t for the amazing community here. The forums have taken its hits over the years and has definitely shrunk a bit but I think at this point, anything could happen to facepunch, but as long as it still exists, I’ll visit it every day till either it dies or I die.
There is something deeply funny about a guy worth millions trying to play the victim here.
I have been using this site every day for the past 12 years and it would kill me to see it die.
shit man
wow look another change nobody asked for

haha remember last thread when we were all calling garry's bluff that he'd shut down the forums
hahaha
oh jeez
What the fuck I don't want to join like 17 fucking discords to keep up with people. Why the fuck can't you just let the forums run on their own with moderator staff if its that much of a fucking hassle?
Fucks's sake, I hate reddit. Its UI design is fucking balls and the fact that instead of taking me to new page I have I have pop up window still confuses me. Even with this new update I liked the neato features.
Discords are the product of a community but it couldn't form or foster a community on its own imo
Well shit. Its sorta my only community, I've experimented with reddit but it's not the same, I don't care about the people on reddit, they're just other posters.
so when are we going to see r/facepunch spring up then
I mean he hasn't decided to shut it down yet. I hope he doesn't, this is the only forum that I've ever liked.
Facepunch closing down would feel like the end of the old internet to me. The final nail in the coffin of classical forums and communities (except SA, I suppose), kind of like how the fall of Constantinople in 1453 marked the end of the Medieval period, even if in truth, historical transitions are gradual and over time. And honestly, that would suck, especially since Newpunch's UI is IMO way better than the alternatives, especially with Reddit's new design being all kinds of garbage.
I think my favourite thing I've learned about Garry in the time he's been fucking around with Newpunch is that he literally doesn't know what Reddit is. "It's just like reddit for longform discussion" no that's the complete opposite.
"We'll create tons of awkward subforums just like reddit" the average subforum has more users than all of FP combined.
I mean, FP being relevant for GMOD back in the day doesn't really mean it's terribly relevant for any of FP's products today. If Garry simply sees development as a chore, and it doesn't really contribute to FP's games, there isn't really a point except nostalgia (and a sense of loyalty, I suppose). FP doesn't really seem that active in Rust, don't really provide much in the way community technical support in Rust, so I can see why the usefulness would seem low.
Not to say that I wouldn't be sad if the forums shut down, this is really the only forum I'm active on, and I think Garry would do well to keep it running, considering how much joy it's obviously bringing into people's lives. I also don't think Garry's completely oblivious to this, but his willingness to let this forum exist is probably directly proportional to how much of a pain development and the users on here are. In general I've taken a pretty relaxed attitude towards the developmental status of this forum because of that - sure, this and that feature is missing, and many things aren't working well, but at its base, the forum is usable, the community is still here, and the less shit people are throwing at Garry, the longer he'll probably allow an unprofitable venture to chug along.
I hope it doesn't die but if it's gonna, RIP then

why isnt facepunch deleted yet
Literally no one wants the forums to shut down and we all know how well Garry listens to our opinions therefore the forums will be shut down.
god forbid someone closes out the local tranny hangout spot
How about you shut the fuck up and post on your actual account you coward.
Could we put a delete proof shield around the forum?
this is my actual account you shitheel, i just lost all my posts when garry broke the forums to make this dumb ass layout
100% this. Fucking stupid. It's like he wants to piss everyone off so much that we'll beg him to shut it down to fill his stupid fucking fantasies.
I'm not sure why some of y'all are surprised that Garry's considering pulling the plug, considering the lackadaisical attitude he's been showing for a while.
Tbh, I'm not sure what I'd do if this place did get shut down. The only 'community' on here I really like is the Nintendo Mobile thread and I'd sooner take a pair of pruning shears to my toes than go back to the FEH subreddit.
