    I'm basically joining everything that gets set up. Until the majority decide what's what.
    Leaving stuff up to the majority is what put all our respecitve countries in the respective messes they're in right now.

    I must have used DDDecks at some point. Double D Decks is ready to party guys.

    Ah fuck. Have been on here for many years, including my previous user ID, been some fucking incredible threads over the years. What's Discord?

    Sounds like we're all going to be talking about Calibri and Times New Roman.

    Sweet. There's a big lurker user base, hope they join. There's a part of me that imagines them secretly chortling at my sparkling wit.

    The issue with reddit it the design of it goes against long running threads, which makes it pretty antithetical to how this place runs. By design old threads get pushed down and don't get bumped up when someone new posts. You can sticky them but I think there's a limit on the number (two?). Also, once you get beyond a certain number of posts in a thread, it starts behaving weirdly (apparently), which is why you tend to get weekly (or whatever) sticky threads instead of long-standing ones.

    However, if there's only a dozen of us, I guess a lot of that's moot.

    So I've signed up for both the reddit and the fontgeek one and I'm more confused than ever. I can't even adapt to one layout change, let alone two.

    @craigy - can't you just leave it running in it's "not upgradable" format? What resources does it need? A mod? Couldn't a forumite do it?

    I think I'll just stay here and play my violin until it sinks beneath the waves.

    Does this give us just under a month to do some really, really helpful search engine optimisation for "Reedpop".

    Is there anyway to show all categories, the proper way the cool kids use the forum?

    Also, we absolutely need to be finding somewhere to archive the classic forum moments like the font geeking for posterity. Possibly as screenshots posted to whatever replacement forum emerges?

    Guess i'll have to sign up for reddit then.

    Fuuuck man. All those threads & laughs over the years.

    Where will i get (some) really sensible advice along with piss-taking?

    Can someone tell phAge his idiocy will finally be hidden? At least someone will be happy at the forum loss.

    😥

    Wow. I never thought this would happen. The EG forum always seemed plenty active to me and one of the thing I actually valued about was - is - the contributions of many familiar regulars.

    I’ve no real understanding or interest in Discord so this might mark the end for me. Trying to shift established communities just doesn’t work - I was a regular on the now deceased Guardian Gamesblog, but that went too.

    I just hope the EG overlords realise that the Forum is a key reason why I - and I’m sure many others - visit Eurogamer in the first place. Closing it is one fewer reason to come to the site…
