• Bring back "Videos And That Kind of Crap"

One of the biggest reason why I still lurk around here. That's all I have to say.
bring back the way the forum looked like yesterday too pls.
it's the most popular non-political section, and due to its nature it can't work under general or as a megathread
The general section is so cluttered right now it hurts.
This is dumb decision that Mr.Newman did in years. And all my recent threads I made from that forum is now to nothing.
I think General can actually hold 3 forums together if we start using thread icons as pseudo-tags, although I do find the 'restriction' and 'organizing' disappointing.
If the site is going to be gone my Steam profile and my Discord is Borealis#9513
Bring everything back
Merging 3 of the biggest sections that were working just fine before (GD, videos, and fast threads) into one messy shitshow is the most puzzling change made so far. Feels like Garry's losing it.
Making a single video thread just sucks ass because now discussion on topics will be extremely messy. It works for LMAO pics because there isn't really meant to be discussion and it usually derails really hard anyways. Videos have merit for having it's own section and own threads.
I can kinda see what they're going for with merging those three sections together, BUT first of all I don't think it's the right move. And secondly I find it puzzling that they're keeping Sensational Headlines and Polidicks separate, but merging those other ones.
Why not just merge us with Garry? One Single Entity
no lets merge every section and every thread together we shall have the mega-est of megathreads = a megaforum
Please.
Actually anyone know of a good forum to replace the video subsection? Where people just share cool videos & shit?
That's not what sociopaths do. Well maybe you can enlighten the rest of us then cause all I see is a need to reinvent an imaginary wheel that doesn't need reinventing to begin with. Not everything has to be an app or forward looking ego stroke. Sometimes a commuity is just that, and nothing more, because it doesn't need ot be anything else.
This is just me guessing, so take it with a grain of salt. General Discussion, Fast Threads, and Videos are essentially the same thing, each section are filled with random threads about random topics (That's what I'm assuming Hezzy/Garry are thinking). So I'm assuming they thought they would put it all in one single area. Now I disagree on putting videos in with General and Fast Threads. The video section has enough people visiting it each day that I think it warrants a separate area. I don't think many people visit General Discussion, so I don't really see a problem combining Fast Threads to it. But now its going to be annoying as fuck to look for videos through the clutter. And megathreads are not a solution to videos either, because it still doesn't eliminate the annoyance of having to look through pages and pages for decent content.
ew gross i don0t want Facepunchers inside me.
I'm assuming he took it down to troll us
afaik people said there were too many subforums so he deleted Fast Threads and Vids
Which is ironic considering those are the two closest to the "reddit style posting" he said he wanted, as in posting a new thread for every stupid question or complaint you have.
Those aren't subforums so this change literally makes no sense
Yeah but if he only removed subforums then he would be doing what we want instead of doing something to spite us
If Garry comes back moody that we're complaining that he deleted subforums and that there's no pleasing us, I'll legit lose hope in the site. I'm probably the only guy who apricates what he was going for with the subforums and tags, and only hope he's just trolling us for a while or something
Looks more to me like there was going to be some attempt to make a 'facepunch social game app' through various iterations, which again, is not a wheel that needs inventing or reinventing or deinventing. How about a forum where a big ass chunk of people got together and argued and whatevered. Here's a metric: Every time FP got app'd or streamlined or socially engineered or whatever the fuck this time is going to be called, people left. People that loved hanging out and conversing in whatever form happened to be the flavor of the day, in a format that was easy on the brain and easy on the eyes, and invented it's own set of interactions without any need for help or engineering or whatever the hell this is/was supposed to be.
I literally woke up this morning and thought I was just banned from the videos board/section and was like, "Damn man."
https://i.imgur.com/CBpktIf.png guess now we clog up other forums
Yeah honestly, I've visited this site less and less over the past couple years and the video section was just about the only one I really cared about anymore. Such a shame to see FP fall from grace.
bring back facepunch
Damn I wasn't sure if it was removed or if I was just missing it somehow, that's pretty lame. It was honestly one of the big reasons I still come on here, especially when I watch everything interesting on my own Youtube feed I could always find something good on that forum.
