Posted by: RpJk« on: April 19, 2018, 03:57:42 PM »I see GTM as GTM. While it's not as busy as it used to be, it's still one of the most comfortable places to be on the internet these days. Visiting here is like visiting an old eatery, you see it slowly change over the years with people coming and going but the heartbeat will always be the same.
I haven't had a look at Discord but I prefer here. It's easier and more easily accessible. Posted by: Asbestosstar« on: April 18, 2018, 12:36:56 AM »Generally the forum, but i generally consider the people in GTM

Posted by: Scrap Daddy« on: April 16, 2018, 09:48:13 PM »Badger nailed it on the head for me. Bad in the long-term for the forum with the lack of archives and exclusivity, but there is value to the instant feedback and back and fourth tournament discussion.

(It's in this very subsection I am dumb.)
Secondly I feel the forum offers enough feedback for users who post even semi-frequently. What people are probably actually trying to say is they do not get immediate feedback. Forums also lend themselves better to proper thought out responses, not saying Discord does not but it's more active nature means those responses may take too long to type out and the conversation could have changed during that time typing. Just me personally, but in my experience with Discord many users do not follow proper etiquette, or even attempt proper grammar. Lastly while I do like Discord most of the time I think Discords focused on singular games/anime/things do not do very well because people who grow tired of those things do everything but actually discuss the thing in question. I know this can happen in forums also but since Discord is a chatroom type deal it's easier to notice and harder to ignore. I almost forgot how it's easier for "Undesirables" to join and make friends with Admins/Mods and tl;dr ruin everything lol. That sounds fringe I know, but I have seen that happen to communities I used to be apart of and it's really stupid and frustrating.

While discord may be better for casual conversation and quick feedback, everything posted there is inaccessible to those not already in the community and it is not archived. This means that it hurts the forum in the long run, as people coming across the forum are not only missing out on activity (some of which would normally be posted on the forums), but they're more likely to see the forum as 'dead'. Basically what I'm saying is that the moving of activity to the discord makes GTM a more insular community, which is pretty bad when we're already pretty small.
As for what 'is' GTM, in my eyes at least it's the most active longer term members, most of which are more active on the discord. i also view it as the tournaments which are mainly forum based but also have a lot of discord activity, especially for robogames.

Just curious considering a lot of people feel that the forum offers very little feedback and conversation compared to something like discord. Also wondering in regards to where you guys feel we should be focusing on in the future with upcoming changes. Dont worry, neither one will be neglected regardless of the results. |
