Force users to whitelist the site to use it (or just guilt trip them -really- bad anytime they come on with it active) Theres ways around it that don't require users to do anything other than exist, I don't think most people would be open to paying for forum features outside of vanity stuff which at this point, what can one really add given we already have backgrounds and animated avs?
I haven't been here for long compared to most users but Facepunch is one of a kind place for me and I don't know where else to go if the plug is just pulled Please don't do it
Just sell bonuses, like back when you used to be able to buy titles and goldmember shit. It's what this forum used to do in the past.
Wasn't that gotten rid of because of tax reasons?
what if garry is just bluffing
plenty of people were willing to pay for gold member forum access back in the day. same with titles and the like. letting users buy coins to do all that stuff would likely go a long way.
I believe the decision to move away from that was made due to garry having to pay tax on the income or something?
all payments must be in bitcoin
the problem with all the money related things was because of tax iirc
I just hope someone here is already working on FP 2.0 so we can switch over once this one suddenly goes down.
I don't understand this part. People have never been shy to praise Garry when he came up with a nice new feature or fixed a problem on the forum. Like, there's no way in hell people in RUST aren't flinging WAY more shit at Garry than we do but it's not like he's gonna stop working on RUST because of that. If anything, I feel like Garry should be proud that he created a forum that so many people consider important to them. I just don't get it.
If the forum is dying I sure would fucking pay for it to stay up.
I suppose the silver lining is, if garry does switch off FP it will be one hell of a ride to watch a kitchen sink of community members try and make a functioning forum to replace it. I've been doing webdev for like 3 years now and I wouldn't even know where to start at making a forum
I wouldn't mind donating 50$ to Facepunch, what I got out of it pales in comparison to that amount of money.
I joined Facepunch as it is 14 and a half years ago. I left fairly quickly after Newpunch hit because I really didn't like where it was going. Ironically, with how things are now, it's closer to the way things were and the way things should be for a forum and I don't mind it. What I do mind is the whole "idk, maybe i'll delete it later". The reason I'm back now is because I'd rather not see that happen. This place is really my last bastion of "internet homes" and forums I've had and it's very obvious I'm not the only one who feels that way.
I mean, he could be, but something in the tone of his posts today seemed kind of different
He also removed subforum filtering. I'm supposed to post new interesting videos in General Discussion now? It feels like it's impossible to look up anything but LMAO Pics.
and then me on the other side of the spectrum quit doing it a decade ago and now every single language has changed and I have no idea how to do any of it anymore. at least all your knowledge is theoretically up to date
they say digital is forever, but really it seems even more temporary than ever
I don't even know how to get to subforms. What the hell is this change
This sums up exactly what makes Facepunch special, feels like every other community you're just shouting in the void. It always makes me laugh when people identify themselves as part of Reddit since it pretty much doesn't say anything at all.
How does an imaginary scenario where garry isn't successful mean he owes the community something? What debt does he have owe to people for buying his games?

can this thread be made into an idiot cull thread
I usually abhor subscriptions for something like this but TBH I'd make an exception for Facepunch.
I had 580 coins. Decided to spend them on an avatar size increase. I'm not gonna get a new avatar though so in retrospect it was kind of a waste. Might as well splurge if this is the end.
ok everybody that joined on 10th november 2008 gets b& if they post in this thread
You wouldn't have to program it yourself, you could use a premade system like fp used to run on.
Shiet, it would be weird to go days on a computer without visiting Facepunch forums. Although I cannot understand why Garry just doesn't make the forums like this one and stick with it. It was perfect and had no problems. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/tr/thumb/a/af/Facepunch_Forumlar%C4%B1.png/220px-Facepunch_Forumlar%C4%B1.png I suppose some folks just live in their own worlds.
