Does anyone legitimately care about this place anymore
« on: April 28, 2020, 05:28:36 PM »
Legit question

Do people actually care about this place outside of filehosting/tutorials and nostalgia

It's a place to check up on in my free time. 

I enjoy the tournaments, though I'm disappointed that smaller events like the challenge board aren't getting as much love.  Maybe I'll put something up there.

Personally, I think my interest in GTM started declining once BOTM stopped happening.  No idea why, and it might just be correlation.
I have several opinions.

Yes. Basically the same reason as Kix for why. From what I’ve seen, GTM is most active when a) there’s more than just one game active on the forum, and/or b) something new/unexpected happens.

Not really. PWS is where I mainly go for actual discussion, but if I'm bored I'll usually lurk here to see what's going on that I can't see in the other discords

I check here a bit but now I spend most of my time on Smashboards mainly.

I would join the RA2 Discord but honestly I don't really feel much connection to many members here so not up for it. And those I sort of did have left a long time ago.
Won't forget my time here though.

I've moved to other forums. Under a different name. This is where it all began.

Honestly Discord has eventually made this place redundant for everything outside of tournament records/vids and filehosting, but this place acts as a repository for pretty much the whole of RA2 history and shouldn't be dispensed with if it can be avoided.

I don't think anyone wants to delete the forum. more so just put a freeze on posting outside of the rr2 section

What's gained from freezing everything but RR2 tho?

idk why you have a hardon for killing this place. If it's as useless and abandoned as you say, there'd be no reason to artificially freeze posting as nobody would bother posting anyway. Let sleeping dogs lie.

I have to agree. No point freezing it, just let it run it's course.
