Oanst come back you big pansy we miss you. Also because we're almost dead.

It's both funny and sad to see how a thread about the future of OWF turned into a semi-inactive thread kept alive by OANST shitposting.
|
You people can't go 2 seconds without shitposting, can you? Sit down and shaddap and wait for OWF to be great again.

Yes, that was the joke.
|
I'm trying to think of something witty to post but I can't so have some more shitposting. If shitposting is the only way to keep this site alive so be it.
|
Shitposting is usually the way to keep any website alive.
Just look at r/jontron. The masters at the shitpost. |
Shitposting *is* the future of OWF. We should become 4Chan

On topic (LEST I GET BANNED AGAIN!!!) I don't see what upgrading forum software would do, the problem is the content and interesting activity, not the fact that the forums are a little ugly. Look at other active forums, and you'll soon realise that stuff doesn't really matter. Also; I hope everyone above is getting infracted as they did far less than I did to get banned:) |
If the lack of interesting Oddworld-related topics is the issue, is there really anything we can do? It's not us who don't release amazing games anymore.
|
Pretty much hit the nail on the head. An Oddworld Forum without Oddworld, is just a Forum.
Yes I did say before that I wanted this site to be the best place to talk about Oddworld; and I still do completely. But I admit. we can't talk about Oddworld all the time. Because there's nothing to talk about. My problem isn't the content. Because we've had some pretty legit funny and interesting threads in off-topic. My problem is people acting like complete cunts to everyone. I just want certain people's attitudes to be sorted out. (although, I've not seen a lot of bad shit going down lately). Then and only then this place can be active again. A new site and design isn't really what I was looking for. But the major upside to that would be the mods would have waaay more access to stuff. Enforce a new, powerful Off-topic Fairy. |
I've just read this thread. I would like to thank Xavier and Nate : they are doing a fine job. Why ? Because they are freedom of speech defenders about Oddworld. If the OWF were OI, well, there be one and only one point of view : that Lanning is a God and that Nn't is a revolutionary title.

Yes, OWF's staff is open-minded.
I don't understand some of you about wanting to build The New Fan (instead of "the new man") who doesn't even exist. Oddworld's real fans are what they are, you can't change them. Outside of OWF, people who like Oddworld don't really care about the universe and all. They just enjoy playing "That Abe guy" but not enough to the point of talking seriously about it. |
:
Let's not forget you're the one responsible for literally making that OWI employee leave the forums because you were being a piece of shit. You're a horrible human being and the reason nobody likes this place. You're the embodiment of everything wrong with OWF and fuck you. |
Don't fight :(

Yeah, they were also kind enough to not ban you after you literally drove away OWI employees by being a dumbass.
|
Get a room, you two.

Christ it's all heating up here today eh Nate. Maybe the forums feed on hate and once we all hate each other again we'll get more members...
|
That forum dynamic only works when you're all Australians. Trust me, I'm an admin there.
|
How to become Australian?

2 questions :
1 - do they - Oddworld fans - really exist ? I'm not talking about the people who are enjoying playing the games (as you can see on Facebook pages) based on nostalgia. Unlike Dragon Ball, Sonic or Star Wars, isn't Oddworld something of a "niche" ? OWF is the proof of that : only one real forum for Oddworld Fans Worldwide. 2 - What would gain OWF being OWI's property ? I see nothing, except the loss of liberty (you will not be able to criticize). Maybe some of you are hoping to find some new information about Oddworld (for example, if you are being nice with the moderator Alex, then he will throw you a new picture of Twice the Flavor). |
I'm trying so hard not to snap at you again but I don't want a ban so just have this picture of Bjork being skeptical

Look, I'm not even talking to you. Feel free (even if you don't seem to understand or like the word "liberty") to ignore me.
|
Aye what's up, someone wanna give me a TL;DR on this?
|
We've made a seven-page-long discussion about how forums are dead because nobody's posting.
|
:
You also seem to believe there is no need for this forum at all, since "Oddworld fans don't exist", which puzzles me because you keep posting here. Or is your plan to drive us all away like you drove Alex? Cause it might just work. |
I'm obviously saying : we have few Oddworld fans (all over the world). Where do we find them ? Here, on OWF. That's why I'm saying that Oddworld's fandom is a niche.

Trust me, there are Oddworld fans. Now can we drop this derail and get back on topic? |
Havoc, thank you for your answer. But what do you mean exactly by "working together" ?
Manco, are you serious ? To click the button "like" doesn't mean you're a fan. They are video game players who are enjoying oddworld games. And it doesn't explain why there is only one real forum. Also, sorry but we are on topic. |
