In case you're wondering what the fuck is going on with facepunch (recap thread)

I would rather see this forum shut down than sold to the "community", because all we need is yet another hugbox on the interwebs filled with furrys and weebs.
Idk man I just like FP because it's only place I feel like I can talk about video games, news, or politics without feeling like I'm either shouting into an abyss of fucking retards or sitting in a massive circle jerk where any contribution that goes against the consensus gets immediately hidden lest it offend anyone.
What was said a few pages back is scarily true, I can't actually think of many other traditional Forums that are still going right now.
It's already a total shit show, what's the loss?
Do you actually browse the forums outside of SH/Polidicks at all? Like clearly you're mostly a lurker but like it doesn't take much to click outside of just those two subforums.
Yeah lmao them dogfuckers
Yeah I don't post alot because of the hive mind mentality. It's not being called names I actually do other shit other than sit on here and post. I'm not 16 anymore. So i tend to disappear not out of being called names but because I have to do things like work or spend time with the family etc. I also see through all the replies and get the general consensus that you are all just babbies that don''t like being told no or anything that hurts your feelings.
2016 broke poe's law for a lot of people
Kinda ironic considering you're literally being a baby right now because no one agreed with your point.
Do you need a safe space for your feelings and opinions? You can go back to 4chan or reddit if you like.
Lol sorry but a grown man crusading against furries and weebs on his "interwebs" makes me huh?
You say that but here you are flinging shit just for the sake of it. Also, you say there's a hivemind mentality but the same could be said of you, Zolofto, and the numerous other trolls that like to stir the pot just 'cause they can or get a roight larf out of it or lash out like this because they got disagreed with.
No safe space. All opinions allowed. None of you have proven any reason why my opinions are wrong. Just the usual name calling. Same shit tactic that does not work. I am just posting saying I think that the forums have gone to shit and that I am disappointed. I see nothing wrong with that. If you do not care for me being so crass about it I don't give a shit.
Ah yes, the FP hive-mind where everyone thinks the same. That very same hive-mind that leads literally every thread about a shooting or gun laws into a dozen page argument between multiple people about gun laws and regulation.
What a fucking shock, why wouldn't he just bail on a community that clearly gives a fuck about this place after so long?
Like seriously dude, everyone understands feeling unappreciated and I know I've been banned by @garry personally on multiple occasions for speaking out against his clearly self destructive habits with this place, but it's not supposed to be shit talk. You keep taking all this criticism as if all of us dont give a shit about what you're doing and its honestly just fucking ridiculous. I've been here since ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, I'm 21 years old now. Facepunch literally introduced me to organized global discussion and helped me meet the people who have shaped me into who i am today. I give a serious fuck about this place, without the discussions here I'd be SEVERELY handicapped in terms of the knowledge i have about shit going on around the world.
So much is going to be lost if @garry just dumps this place over a bout of existential crises and honestly it'll go down as a colossal black mark on Facepunch and probably severely impact the company's PR as a whole. The Rust playerbase isn't your community, the Gmod playerbase isn't even your community. Half of the people playing those games do not give a fuck about 'Facepunch' as an entity. Every single person posting in this thread DOES care. If this forum collapses purely because @garry cant be assed to either get this shit together or sell it to someone who can and will, good luck finding an audience who cares about your work afterwards.
Rust is still a buggy mess with absolutely no long term direction. You guys are doing fantastic work on the game for sure and it's leaps and bounds ahead of where it was, but it's been marred by significant holdups that clearly show not only in the game but in the playerbase.
Garry's mod is just riding on the coattails of a different era of gaming, and it's getting replaced by S&box which, without a serious community behind it, dies pretty fast.
Aside from those two major titles that have existed forever now, there hasn't been a single significant project you -havent- gotten cold feet on and dropped in the dirt, totally pissing on the community in the process. If that's the way you think Facepunch will succeed, then by all means keep the shit up, but be sure to understand that just because you had a serious cash cow early on doesn't mean you're going to inherently succeed in the future, especially when you grant your core community basically no fucking respect.
I'm probably just gonna get shitcanned for this post but seeing the state of the forums as of today is fucking pathetic. If you want us all to leave, just take the fucking site down. Stop cockteasing everyone like a fucking psycho girlfriend, we're all a lot older now and it's just fucking exhausting.
but every name you've been called is names you were spouting first lol
Getting back on topic, I'm hoping the forum doesn't shut down or at least can be transferred to the mod team's ownership. Garry doesn't want to deal with it anymore, that's fine, but him having final say over the fate of something many people still use wouldn't be fair.
I do enjoy this place. I was perma'd throughout pretty much all of 2017 because some mod got pissy one day and had me in his crosshairs over a completely legitimate post I made (and which I still stand by), and all year I missed being able to participate even though I would still read up on SH. Of all the forums I've been to over the years, this is about the only one I still hang out on. All the smaller ones I've been to are dead now, and the two bigger ones I'd ever joined - GameFAQs and NeoGAF - I quit both out of disgust, nuking my account on each. This is the only big-ish forum I've wanted to stay on, and I don't really like forums otherwise. I don't hang out with anyone else regularly online, and my offline interactions are pretty much just my family and people at training (the latter of which has helped, admittedly). So I feel less lonely on here. I spent too much of 2017 inside my own head - a NEET the entire time back then - and ended up in therapy because of it (although therapy did end up leading to better things, such as said training facility). Pathetic as I know it sounds, Facepunch is a pretty big chunk of my total interactions and I'd be sad to see it go.
You haven't really given any opinions and few people have really called you names beyond those first handful of replies. Also, you keep ignoring posts actually replying to you and aside from people just rating and moving on, nobody had much issue with your first post until you started shitflinging. This is kinda on you.
Your opinions are wrong because you're a raging asshole that posts terrible uninformed bullshit and gets butthurt when people call you out on it. There are plenty of other conservative posters that are still around and don't catch the shit you do because they're not terrible people.
Is there some sort of unified community for the old heads?
Didn't one of the chans have a board specifically for people that'd be banned from FP? Or was it just an old archived thread?
cool cats is still around i hop in every so often when i remember to and most are still there
In a discord? Could you pop me a link on disc? im powerfulVicSage on disc, posted here most of my life as No Party Hats or NPH
Nope you are entirely wrong. You are also not a funny dog. But judging by your name and your post I must have offended you by expressing my distaste of furries.
i dont have discord but its on slack
Is that really the best you've got? I mean I was going to be optimistic and assume you only had the political ideology of a 14 year old, but I guess I was wrong to assume you were anything more than a pathetic grown ass man acting like a middle schooler.
if you could pop me an invite, my email is marcelknowlton@gmail.com
Ok, just checking back in. How did this thread go from whole pages of heartfelt testimonies to a couple of chucklefucks discussing furries?
Oh, also, the search function isn't working at the moment. Is anyone aware?
2005 I joined this shitty forums for Gmod advice and save posting. It grew onto me and despite several bannings, I remained. Why? Because of the people, the community. This forums is more personalized and has so much history behind it, even excluding the history behind it, there are still people that have been around since then and still use it.
I love this place, always have, always will. I'm 26 now, going onto 27 in several months, I starting using FP when I was 13, this forums has been apart of my life more-so than most things.
Yeah, I use reddit, discord, etc. But why does Facepunch as a whole need to cease existence? The fuck is Garry even talking about having to gain something? The reason people are here is for the community, WE are here for the people that have made this forums the community it is, and the people it continues to bring in. It isn't dead, FP is far from it, and if Garry wants to kill it off because he thinks he has to gain something from it, he needs to seriously ask the people that've continued here for so long what we have to gain and why we still choose to be here.
are you Love?
