Of course people join forums, I'm on another forum that's plenty active, we just haven't helped ourselves get/keep new members, ever, and now it's biting us in the arse.

I think that's a pretty important factor. I reckon (most of us) are being unintentionally hostile towards newbies. Inside jokes and "banter" etc. Not necessarily anyone's fault.

It was though, we've been a lot more accepting as of late but I think that's only due to the dawning that we've actually doomed this forum to die by being cunts.

Vexen left even though we liked him. It's not our fault, it's just fate

Inside jokes are more alienating than being dicks. Especially since all our dickishness is one long continuous inside joke. It's an impenetrable culture we have hear, and joining is for newbies like trying to get in on an on-going conversation. Each new welcome thread is someone going "Hey guys! What are we all talking about?" and we carry on as normal and don't even look back when they fail to pick it up instantly.

Vexen seemed to integrate. He was even a bit dickish. Too bad.

Maybe he just decided to shoot for the stars instead of hanging with us.

...get it? For the stars.

The ellipsis in the title of this thread makes me read it in David Caruso's voice.

Are you saying we should all move to reddit?

Reddit is, like, the second best place for us.

That's actually quite a good idea. There aren't that many of us and it saves on domain costs.

You can't have a big 100px x 100px avatar on Reddit tho

Just get some profane flair instead.

I don’t want to have to wear a fedora every time I talk about Oddworld.

Wishful thinking.

M'udokon

The Reddit suggestion is a good shout actually. I'm not sure what kind of Oddworld community there is over there at the moment though.

There isn't even an Oddworld community here so I doubt there's one over there, unless it's where all our rejects gather.

There's already a fan made Oddworld reddit

It's almost as active as OWF. Plus the link is missing an "h" letter.

*Fixed

I've just posted on it, mainly just to plug my channel. But it's cool to see another Oddworld community.

They promote this Forum and The Oddworld Encyclopædia on the Reddit. Don't suppose anyone recognizes the admin's usernames? perhaps their ex-OWF?

Maybe MS promotes this Forum on Reddit.

I dont use reddit. I think it looks disorganised.

It does until you actually start using it.

You should probably get RES.

after so many failed attempts to leave, i'm embarrassed to still be here! yay!

also i have no idea what Reddit is.

I'd say it's good for you not to know it

It's where meninists go to die.

Now that I've learned that there really are other people that like oddworld and I've set foot in this domain, I can't leave.
It's kinda like Strawberry Fields, I guess...

Eh, some times I like to check up on this carcass of a forum. But it's the carcass I know and love and for some sick reason keep on coming back to it.

But as Nepstotic and Ballet Magnut said; "I once used a fondue fork to tickle the inside of a brazillian mans nose, and it made me think about posting on the oddworld forum."

And like cash funk said; "we can't talk about anything until Lorne says we can. And also after he shows us something."


Are the devs on holiday? Srs question.

To be fair, in a world full of women I'm surprised I've lived this long.
