There must be other forums...

I'd like to give starbound a shot taggart.

[Kamakazie]

I'd like to get a Star-bound server going if people are interested.

I'll also through out Rock paper shotgun as having a decent community.

I haven't played since early alpha, but I'd be willing to give it another look.

[monroeski]

I may peruse other game forums but this is the only one I post on anymore.

Not much has changed really. I'm waiting for the next update which looks to be fairly large.

[Snakespy]

With all the replies, I suppose I was wrong This place isn't dead at all!

[SewerUrchin]

Not dead, just less posting. I check this forum section almost daily still. I just don't post nearly that often.

I do hang out on the Reaper miniature forums in a much more active way. The other forums that I have interacted with over the years are dying off slowly.

Im still kinda sorta around. I do miss all of you guys, ive been here since I was 16 I think, and im almost 30 :O Im mostly on guru3d but am more of a lurker than anything. I just like reading. Im actually really suprised and happy that this place has lasted so long! You guys are awesome.

I've also been around here since 16. At 13 years now on this forum, this is definitely the oldest active login I have.

It's sad to see message boards die as "the conversation" has moved to reddit and Facebook. The effort to make the Internet mainstream has really diluted conversation in general, which I guess is to be expected. I mean, 13 years ago when I came here the Internet was still a geek thing. There was no Facebook, no reddit, no YouTube. Google was just starting to become "a thing" that people were aware of.

The "future" of the Internet looks a lot more like the past than any kind of future I would have imagined in 2001. Everything has fallen behind a walled garden of one sort or another. I'm not even sure domain names will make sense 10 year from now. We are going to go through a period of consolidation after this bubble pops, and everything is going to be isolated into an "app" or whatever we decide it call it in 10 years—ecosystem, maybe, who knows. In a lot of ways "the Internet" has become a geek thing once again.

I'm not even sure normal people will use "browsers" in 10 years. Hopefully this place is till around though.

We should have a backup plan in case this place does shut down.

The post on GameFAQs but that is a cesspool for the most part. I also post at the Overclock.net forums, that place doesn't seem too bad but I'm not there much either.

I will gladly buy this forum in the event that it is to be shut down.

Here we go...Steam community group

Created "The Shark Pool"

We already have a few Sharky related steam groups, but I figure we can use this specifically for Sharky members. There is a discussions tab we can use for posting and what not. Let me know if you are interested.
