Are gaming forums dying? | JoyFreak

Of all of the boards that I do know nonetheless exist that I’ve registered on, they’re all just about lifeless. Whether or not that is boards geared toward masking video video games, or another topic. It would not matter what the discussion board is about. As a result of I do know I can publish a thread, return inside hours and even days to that web site, and it is usually the case that no one has responded.

Even when folks do reply, typically the publish they submit is so generic or badly written, that it is similar to, meh. Give them an A for effort, I suppose.

About the one actually energetic gaming discussion board I do know of, is GameFAQs. And that’s unhappy. I’ve used GameFAQs with completely different profiles earlier than. However I informed myself after I closed my final account there, that that was it. The customers there aren’t any good for having a civilized dialogue with. If you happen to simply “communicate the reality” about one thing, they assume you are whining.

It is unhappy to see that boards masking video video games are lifeless now. Lately, you principally should go on folks’s YouTube movies or interact on dwell streams to interact along with your fellow followers.

Fb and Twitter sucks as nicely. It typically feels such as you’re simply including “mates” you might or could not see any extra, after which having them unfriend you afterwards, one after the other, as a result of they’re both shallow or they terminated their membership. Plus, I believe folks use these social media websites merely as some kind of outlet to indicate off how cool one thing is that they’ve partook in, but it surely’s not the identical as having some in actual life response.

I do not actually use YouTube any extra, as a result of sure wankers monitoring me. It appears at any time when I closed one channel and made one other one just a few weeks later, these unhappy idiots would quickly uncover me once more after which make movies principally saying, “He is again, guys. Go bug him”.

To be trustworthy, I’ll cease contributing to the Horror Movie Wiki now too. I’ve had too many visitations from a selected Kiwi screwball, utilizing feminine identities, and who enjoys enhancing each web page that I do, as if it is a recreation of tag. Plus, it is lifeless anyway. Who wants area of interest wikis for locating info anyway?

To be trustworthy, I believe they’ve a character dysfunction. You will discover them lining up on the native job heart each Friday morning, their noses buried of their smartphone, whereas making an attempt to be sensible. AKA, get a job. Get laid. Get a life.
