This place has been pretty dead for a long time now.

I think a lot of us are either too busy with life or have literally nothing to talk about. Plus now we also just use Facebook or Twitter, making the forum kinda redundant.

Saying that though, It will pick up after AE remake is shown.

Yeah, for the last four years OWF existed primarily as a way for 20 or so friends to trashtalk each other. Now that smartphones and social media are a thing, OWF only exists as a space for people who want to talk about Oddworld. In other words, it's useless.

i like your enthusiasm, but i honestly don't think it will. without sounding like a drama queen, i think the best has gone. we won't ever get this place how it was again. it's ticking over, but there isn't nearly enough influx of new members. at least we can look back and say "yeah, we had a laugh". it's sad to think that way, but i think that's the way it's going to stay.

that makes me sad. i wish this place was alive as much as it used to be. i genuinely miss the old days when people regularly posted and we'd all take the piss out of each other and enjoy it. i miss DI and T-nex, god damn it.

now i'm fucking depressed.

Well for a start, look how outdated this place is. Potential new members come here and see the 10+ year old designs and immediately walk away. That's part of it at least. If you want this place to go back to the way it was I'd suggest starting there.

I'm pretty sure we can't really do anything about the layout and design. Unless Nate gets a hold of the Forum's keys. So to speak.

Google Now gives me updates on threads here on my phone now, in fact that's how I heard about this thread. So in a very round about way, OWF is part of the present.

Which is nice, I like this place. It's like the old basement/community center we all hang out at.

I stopped posting cuz I stopped running new n tasty. Or at least actively running it. I might come back to it in the future, but im preoccupied with other speedrun games atm. Ill be more active when Exxodus is closer to release, as Ill be running that as well.

I still check back to see what people are talking about every few days, and to see if anyone replied to the speedrunning thread.

Horses don't die, they just stop moving. They spend all their lives majestically running from a horrifying truth, and the moment they grow weary of the flight they look back and see it, and realise the true purpose of the universe. Then they drop to the floor, paralysed with awe, and rot away into an unquiet oblivion that knows them by name and demands eternal tribute.

They feel all the flogging.

Haven't forgotten about this place, just been quite busy like the rest of y'all. I agree, yeah, it sucks this place used to be so lively but at least it isn't being shut down or anything, right?

Like mentioned already, I'm sure it'll pick back up once AE: TTF is released. :P


Had to do it.

We said that about NnT, you know. And SWHD. And MO on Steam. And the Abe games on Steam. And... so on.

People don't join forums these days. I think it's just not a thing any more.
