Never said you shouldn't focus on discord, I said your primary goal for long term player retention should be funneling people acquired from the servers/discord to the forums where the loyalty is actually built, not archiving and moving on from them.
Again never said it wasn't a problem, I said that it is infinitely easier to do so on discord. Complexity is certainly a barrier to entry for some but will not stop everyone.
Brother, what part of anything that I have typed indicates to you that I am telling the community to ignore discord completely? You're doing mental gymnastics at this point.
That's an opinion of a frustrated internet hall monitor if I've ever seen one. I'm sure the 24 hours I've been back on SG's discord has deterred so much activity considering the only things i've posted is in relation to this debate, a wholesome conversation with @John about his cars, and a complete clowning of an actual moron. Of course I will double down on the statements I made after you muted me, I understand why you felt the need to do so but that doesn't automatically mean that what I said wasn't true. The person I was calling a brainlet is, in fact, a brainlet. No amount of coddling you do to curb people from voicing that will change that. I'm sorry that you're seething over someone telling you that your ideas are also partially retarded. If you cannot handle someone addressing your arguments on a topic as insignificant as you make all of this out to be then I can undoubtedly say you are not mentally fit to moderate any discussion regarding community aspects. You're literally demonizing my input because you personally don't agree and that makes you a manchild who places too much worth on being "right" instead of coming to a more nuanced solution.
Your solution to move everything to specific channels does nothing but contribute to disorganization dude, not sure what you don't understand about a glorified shoutbox is not the place to have longform discussions on any aspect of a gaming community. I've been trying to play relatively nice with you because I assumed you were a capable individual but its becoming more and more apparent that you cannot comprehend basic concepts of community and information management
You don't seem to be enjoying your time here at all to be honest. Characterizing dissent and debate as me "getting angry nonstop" is childish and indicative that you cannot handle adult conversations. You're almost 30 and upset that I'm not coddling your feelings while not agreeing with the direction you're proposing, would you rather me word it like this? "Hey buddy, you did a real good job coming up with neat ideas but I don't think what you worked so hard on is the entire direction we should be taking. it's okay though because I made you some dino nuggies and a juicebox for your effort"
I think there are greener pastures where you can be unbothered by people disagreeing with you over text that you read as "upset" when its not sugarcoated and coddling your ego. Are there moments where I am intentionally pressing buttons? Sure. That's the only way to get answers or any sort of reaction here sometimes. Is every post or comment I make here intentionally antagonistic? Nope. Your inability to differentiate between what you deem as "antagonistic" and an opposing viewpoint is going to further your inability to effectively manage any asset here or otherwise.
I'll play on the servers I enjoy playing on. The only semi active server you have is in a game I don't enjoy playing. Gatekeeping what a community member is is something you quite literally just foamed at the mouth for when it came from spiritwind.
Because you came into IG's discord to clarify that you don't talk shit about Retro when quite literally no one asked.
I'll go ahead and double down on what I said there as well: I dont think you specifically should put much effort into reviving this community because you specifically are not built for it as evidenced by your very own attitude and posts within this thread.
You're about to turn thirty big guy, stop acting like a child that cant differentiate between someone not being 100% on board with your ideas and someone that is actively attacking you.
And for clarification: this post is actively attacking your character for not being able to handle a fucking different opinion over archiving an internet forum. Grow the fuck up and learn how collaboration works, it's rarely going to be 100% what jazzy wants in a group setting and the faster you can accept that people will have different opinions than you the faster you can grow beyond the fucking manchild you're acting like right now.
