Forum Discussion VII: We had a good run - General

Celebrated my 10 year anniversary on the 1st of March Truth be told, I didn't even realize until today. It's been an experience, but I don't see myself using knockout too much, unless the UI and people are brought up to oldpunch standards Might be just me, but browsing and general mucking seems very cramped/buggy as of right now

I've been here since late 05 (using a friends alt because I didn't understand internet things back then) and made this account in 06, FP made life seem a lot less bleak for a long time. Sad when it finally goes.

i miss my facepunch account

I had thought I'd heard something about you guys planning to shift over the mod team before FP went under, guess I was wrong. So it's pretty much business as usual here until FP bites the dust or KO reaches a critical mass of functionality/popularity?

yes and no. some mods will be moderating less here and more on knockout etc. some will moderate more here and less on knockout. im not pointing guns at anyone until they swear absolute loyalty to me

There's also some of us me who is only mod there.

Knockout, for those who physically cannot stop Ferrisposting

They're a good kitty ok.

i personally see no problem with the community fund being migrated to knockout if when facepunch actually dies; fp isn't some pharaoh that needs to take its valuables into the afterlife, after all

All I did was delete the "user-moderator" class from your usernames in the page's html. It giving you the "gold member" title was a completely unintended side effect of that.

Is Garry aware of everyone jumping ship? Curious

Seriously doubt it.

the myon on knockout is not the real myon. dont believe their lies

I'm not sure if this is the thread to talk about moderator actions or not but Download's ban here seems to be a misunderstanding. When he says NZ shooters have to move fast, I think he means hobbyists, not like mass shooting shooters.

Seems like it @Download you're free to go

Thanks. I brought this up in the discord but I'm not sure any of the mods noticed. Also if someone is condoning mass shootings they should be getting more than 24hrs.

Was probably misunderstood as being a strange joke

https://twitter.com/garrynewman/status/1112044394398527491 doubt it also, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did know offhand because of FP employees.

I am genuinely curious to know if any of the FP studios employees are regulars here.

FYI, I'm cool with knockout. My plan was to do some backend way to make these forums so people could make their own clients, and have the main client on github that people could contribute to. If everyone happily moves to knockout before I do that.. then there's no reason for me to do it because the goal will have been achieved.

if you decide to end the forums could you add a redirect to knockout?

If you do decide to end the forums, could you please not decide to end the forums?

that is awesome. if you do decide to leave it to us, rest easy knowing that we already do that backend stuff for knockout: https://knockout.chat:3000/subforum the API is fully open so anyone can go and make their c64 client or whatever thanks a lot for showing up garry. that's what everyone wanted the most, clarification

For someone who has no idea how this stuff works, what does this mean exactly? Is the end goal to make it easier for the community to host their own forums before fp shuts down, or is it a way to make development more open so the forums can stay up? Cause the one where fp doesn't shut down sounds really cool

In dumb terms it means anyone can make a frontend, forums display, app etc. Only thing Garry/FP would need to work with is the backend which is whatever frontend app someone developers would interface with.

The idea of a native FP Android app that isn't a web wrapper is making my dick wet

So Facepunch isn't dead

No, it seems like he pretty much confirmed its going to close imo.

Will bans on here carry over to Knockout? Asking before I tell people to go fuck themselves for bad opinions.
