Feel kind of bad about how Garry was going to sunset the forums in the best possible way but Knockout came along
It's sad to see facepunch forums go.
Even though I don't post much, this place is practically my second home now.
some guy is putting drawn child porn on the discord channels
I thought they were all locked.
He was goin through all the FP discords on the discord list lmao
To add to this, it may not work unless you've actually seen his profile in Discord for some reason. If you're in the official FP Discord, you can go to #server-log and find his profile there though.
I like the way knockout is developing but I'm really not a fan of the css design regarding avatar/backgrounds on medium width with standard scale (light theme).
It's distracting and my eyes keep going left instead of reading the posts. It's not just the background/avatars either as that still happens on users that don't have them.
Facepunch has the same issue but it's not anywhere near as noticeable and it doesn't bother me.
S'getting borked again.
Just wanted to add what many have said already about this place being a great community and I'm glad to have found and followed this forum the last 14 years.
I'm on Knockout already and still checking here until it goes down for good! Thanks y'all.
the knockout discord link doesnt work and i cant find the signup page
help
nah man. lets keep this ish going.
Does this invite work?
Also the page to log in/sign up should be here.
Hope that helps!
both of those work thanks
while screwing around i noticed that i was able to sign in with google despite not having an account
idk if that did anything though
here you go fam: https://discord.gg/ce8pVKH
My money is that they never left, but just kept a lower profile on new accounts.
Probs very late on this, but what could I do about the fact that it takes 20+ seconds to load any page on FP while logged in, but when I'm not logged in everything appears to be normal? Had this issue for more than a week, on multiple browsers/devices.
It could be one of your custom CSSes (ssesesSees?) causing it?
Good call, that seems to have been the culprit
speaking of that

Don't forget good old cureless and windwakr
Why close the forums? There's a lot of history here, and a lot of people are still active members. All this work into the forum redesign just to close it down a year or two later?
In regards to the current Polidicks guidelines, maybe rating posts that indicate you support a sketchy or bigoted opinion can be seen as equal to thread participation, in that you can be held accountable by mods to elaborate on your position instead of hiding behind ratings?
> 6) Posting anything designed to be deliberately inflammatory or bigoted isn't covered here under expression of opinions. Express opinions properly, or don't post at all.
Garry's choice not ours
Okay and what I'm not understanding is why he's choosing to close them down, not really something I would have expected especially considering how much money Facepunch is making nowadays.
If someone has to hide behind a rating to express their opinions consistently, there probably is a good reason why and they most likely can't actually justify or argue for it fairly nor rationally. I usually don't think being rated dumb or the likes for an unpopular opinion should be grounds for ban, but in these kind of context it is pretty much the equivalent of a low effort post condensed into a 18x18 icon, and should be treated as such. Especially since major tragedies have been something that was established to be grounds for bans. Don't see how isolated yet fairly serious incidents shouldn't get a similar treatment.
He doesn't see the value in the forums compared to reddit. Sigh
wtf. Why do you need a mod to protect you from a dumb or inappropriate rating? You don't even get notified for them anymore. Some people are edgy and dumb, but going out of your way to look at who rated what so you can be offended is even stupider.
An offensive rating does not warrant the same ban as a shitpost, why the fuck would it? It's not disruptive unless you make it so. I stand by the rule that whoever is the one caring about ratings should be the one getting banned.
Please tell me how a rating is fundamentally different from a post
I liked the days when poldicks didn't have ratings.
Are you serious?
A rating is a tiny icon most people look over unless it's in the top 3 by an overwhelming number. For example, a post with a large number of funny ratings has the consequence of becoming even funnier in the right conditions. A rating with only 1 or 2 rates by contrast is irrelevant and most of the time you don't notice it.
It's even a game on this forum sometimes, to try to get a certain post that already has a variety of ratings one of each rating.
Ratings are not discussion. Ratings can be misclicked (in contrast, you can't make a forum post on accident, at least not very well).
Sometimes people rate for mysterious reasons that are only understandable to them.
If someone is a nasty person who gets a kick out of giving edgy ratings on posts, let them. It doesn't hurt anyone. It seems to me the people complaining are only sorry they're not posting their views instead so they can permaban them and be rid of them. Accept that every community has its bad apples and let them express themselves in the least harmful way available rather than obsessing about sanitising every user to fit your standards.
