Pretty sure that would constitute as child abuse considering the shit they would be facing.
I shot them an email, they have history doing TF2 trading sites so maybe they'll have a personal impetus to hop on this before Garry fucks it all up
If you want to see how a modern forum works Garry, look at Blizzard's forums. I thought that's what you were going for, turns out you're just a quitter.
Death is a preferable alternative to reddit.
Better Dead than Redd.
I just wanna know if its happening or not. This shit where we just continue posting as normal for a month and the one day the site is spontaneously gone is dumb.
Reddit is a fucking cesspool of a website. Even 4chan is better.
@garry
If you wanna get over your heartache make some bank all at once make blue member backgrounds into ads and charge 200 coins for gold membership, after that you set up a system for buying coins and you're back on track to the high life with ant farms and everything.
If Facepunch goes away, my computer probably become a boat anchor...
I've been on the internet since '97 and over the years I've seen a lot of great websites and forums die. So many interesting communities gone forever, so many great people scattered across the internet- never to be seen again. It would be a damn shame to add facepunch to that list of websites I'll never be able to visit again.
If Garry just isn't interested in the forum anymore, then it's time to let someone else take the reins. If that's not possible, then the time for the community to make an alternative website is right now while everyone's still in the same place. If a refugee site is made after the forum dies, it will already be too late and most of the users will likely never find their way to it. If I still had a steady income, I would just do this myself.
If facepunch is truly at serious risk of being shut down, then this is the time for all of us to get together, pick some leaders, and start building a new home- before it's too late.
I'm mainly a lurker but I've been here for 11 years now, I can't really say I'm particularly close to any of you and most of you probably couldn't care less about me, but I come to this forum everyday multiple times a day to get info on games, various happenings in the world, etc. Coming to this site is practically muscle memory at this point and it would be very surreal to come here one day and it all just be gone, I hope Garry sees reason and keeps the site up, plenty of people here who would more than willing to keep it going.
It's been a fun ride
Same boat famalam. It kind of makes me regret not socializing a bit more. Its gonna suck not having this site to give me a daily laugh. We've had some good times though. Even if we've been passive about it the majority of the time here.
I rarely post but I still consider FP my home.
I don't want it to go.
Facepunch is possibly the most impactful thing to ever happen in my life, despite primarily lurking for most of my time here.
I learned so much from the mapping, automotive and the hardware & software sub forums. Despite almost never posting in them.
I integrated into the DMT community and subsequently met the love of my life because of it.
I remember having my mom type out my first post way back when I registered at age 12 because I wasn't confident in my spelling and didn't want to be banned. I'm 22 now. I really hope this isn't the end as this forum is such a fantastic resource and an excellent pool of knowledge that has helped so many people, even if they don't post or rate it.
FUCK ARE YOU KIDDING ME
I JUST GOT GOLD MEMBERSHIP AFTER ALL THESE YEARS ON BEING ON THIS COMMUNITY, AND THE SITE IS SHUTTING DOWN
Deer Garold,
please don't kill the facesmack internet hangy space.
Of Love,
People who post here and aren't giving you shit about changes that ultimately don't matter much
Won't exactly say anything that hasn't been said already, but still, I wanted to get this out.
It kind of got to me today that I'll have very little to do on the Internet if/when Facepunch disappears. As someone else said before, Reddit is too hugbox-ish and Discord is too fast-paced - on the other hand, Facepunch feels like the closest thing I have (or I know of) to an old-fashioned forum for general discussions on multiple topics. I don't know where I'd go in FP's absence.
sooo what's the discord link :v
I'm gonna be very sad to see facepunch go. NOw wher am i supposed to get lmao pictures and memes
Me and my whole group of high school friends have been looking at the LMAO pic thread daily since 2008. DONT DO THIS TO ME
The moderation also always seemed to take a "tough love" approach (with some notable fuck-ups from time to time) which was emphasized with the "warnings are temp bans" system. It's not mean spirited (usually) and it does teach you better etiquette because the timeout forces you to cool-off and think about it. Since we're all human most of us have at least been banned once and I think the vast majority are better off because of it. I haven't seen this kind of moderation replicated anywhere else effectively.
Been here 12 years, finished 2 schools, moved countries, started working. This is still the first and most times only place I ask questions and only place apart from newspapers I read I get my daily news. I would not want this place to go.
oh great another fucken giant thread to read
tl:dr:
bring back the video section like it used to be
tell garry we love him
Thanks for posting that you just reminded me I still have my old christmas cards. Was hidden away in a box.

There has almost not been a day that I haven't checked this forum since I joined all those years ago. I browse even if I am away from home on my phone or tablet. I still browse multiple times a day every day. I am much more of a lurker in recent years but I still post every now and then. Sad times now for sure. I'm sure the community at large will find a way to stay together if this place goes under. I hope so anyway I browse a few subreddits each day and a little discord on top of FP but this is still my main place to be and that is quite a void to fill.
mr garry i dont feel so good
The subreddits I visit are just image galleries to me. It's like a bunch of specific LMAO pic threads Even the serious discussion threads have joke/zinger posts upvoted the most
and before i made a single meaningful post too
barney save us plz
