Just saying, but I think we should rebrand this to a general cartoon forum

did you know that you become stronger every time you say the word "bun"

[DaikatunaRevengeance]

waoh

[diribigal]

We need some sustainability here

Do we, though? Like I definitely view this site currently as more a group of acquaintances and smilies than a place to talk about a show that I'm like 3 seasons behind on. As people drift away, so be it.

This is the fastest-moving thread on TRS in a long time

I suppose it helps that some of this thread's heaviest posters aren't on the Discord server.

[Gloomy Rube]

discord more like lame-o am I right

[Adiwan]

More like "'dis cord"

[Mr. Big]

More like "extension cord"

[Mr. Big]

At this point, I think only a handful of people aren't on the Discord server.

[Perpetual Motion]

Maybe we should just fight and defeat Discord itself:

I feel like this forum is giving me an existential crisis

[Ragnar]

instead of rebranding, let's just add some modern features.

Like frames, a guestbook, a webring, and a midi player

rotating gifs in places, dancing baby at each corner of the page, different subforums have different cursor effects. It is vitally important that the Winter Wrapup 10-second loop must restart every time you load or reload a page.

holy shit just post about horses you goobers

[RIP Syndrome]

Before that, Acmlm's forum from whenever ago had that functionality just baked in. You could customize each post utterly, so you would always post with DRIPPING BLOODY LETTERS in a GRAVEYARD BACKGROUND and MAYBE THERE'S GHOSTS TOO and I was surprised no other forums software ever went that way again. I'm sure there were some security issues since they basically let you script your posts but heck it was fun

that sounds like the perfect idea for PPPP please implement

I think the old GTAForums used to let people literally design custom HTML wrappers for their posts, meaning every page was full of people with incredibly ugly custom text styles and bolding and colors and blah. but it was admittedly amusing in 2009.

I kind of wish miniprofile backgrounds became a thing though. FP did them, and the community's unofficial continuation Knockout does them and I think having the option to customize that really adds to the visual flair of your personal online identity. they make up for it by not having anything else, you define your avatar and optionally a BG image and that's it. no signatures, no custom titles, no gangtags. they're faded in the background until you hover over them and they'll expand into full size and full visibility

Sorry man. Is there anything we can do other than encourage you to get on Discord?

[!saak]

stave off the inherent meaninglessness of existence by talking to your friends

[Perpetual Motion]

If only text wasn't meager sustenance and face to face interaction wasn't completely draining and also 100% unavailable to me!

[DaikatunaRevengeance]

i genuinely wonder how many people here still care about horses

[Demeh]

I do, at least. But I also get the feeling that I have a much lower need for novelty than most people.

[DaikatunaRevengeance]

i have made a very scientific poll

[Adiwan]

Every time I get my stack of comics from my comic store the MLP comics are usually the first I read through.
I've pre-ordered the MLP mangas (Vol 2 and Vol 3).

MORE PONY!

[Fontra]

It's less "I don't care about horses" and more "I definitely don't care about horses like I did back in the day and would rather talk about other things."

tbh Discord gives me the heebie jeebies more than reddit or other social media does. It keeps way too good a track of logs from years and years ago not to mention it being funded by Tencent.

I still go on it once in a while, but not often.

Everyone already talks about other things here. There's computer stuff, anime, whatever you want just make a thread.

So do forums, to some extent even when they get exploded like this one.

not to mention it being funded by Tencent.

I'd say "then don't give them any money" but if you don't want to give them any logs either that's fair. Unfortunately that will disconnect you from some conversations happening here and in many other micro-communities.

[Fontra]

like I said, I still pop up once in a while regardless

I wonder what the future of this website is even going to be. That's basically it.
