Usually slows down around this time of year. Lots of holidays and what not.
lol no
Nothing ever lasts forever, but I don't think the end is quite here yet! I think there's years left. Not another 18 or however many we're on now but enough.
Btw, did you ever manage to fix the graphical problem you asked me about?
Nope! I tried a lot of things, got grumpy and gave up!
I just made a pretty big purchase through the Amazon.ca referral link so hopefully that helps a bit. I use Amazon quite often and I'll be sure to use the referral link in the future.
Goonies never say die.
Tbh, I think there's no point in worrying whether we're dying or not. We're alive now. So let's have fun while it lasts. EoFF is still where all my online besties are. And that's really all that matters right now
I mean you can always just pretend that's happened if you really don't want it to carry on xD But I like to think most of us are still enjoying the place.Quote:

My perception is that is the three top general forums that have been the worst hit. The Lounge, Gaming and FF forums are not doing too badly.I'm an EoFF exclusive, baby :cool:Quote:

If the website goes away, he simply ceases to exist. Think of the Walruses, people. Save them.
But really, even though traffic has definitely been quieter, we're doing okay. Dissidia may be coming out soon but we don't really have the FFXV traffic of "waiting many years for this game to come out" and wanting to talk about it.
Or maybe my reasons are just excuses. But you know what, I defend EoFF against all naysayers.

Here's a thread from 8 years ago about why EoFF was awful and about to die.
Nice.Quote:

(I didn't always feel this way, but a few years exclusively on the big social networks, and seeing how detrimental that is, has made me more appreciative of small communities online. I've run a small chat server at a loss for 3+ years now and every penny has been worth it compared to the "free" offerings on the big social sites).
That said, I'm still hopeful of being able to poach off some of you into Mastodon. But even if that never takes off, I'll just hang out there with a few fediverse peeps. Seems better to fizzle out as a small, independent, tight-knit community rather than get caught up in the sort of trout you see on Facebook/Twitter/etc.
Oh man, I remember Hazzard!
It is what it is. I love how low key this place is. Don't get me wrong, it would be nice to see a surge in activity, but there is something cozy and charming to me about things as they are. I'm riding the waves, man.
just need to reconvene all the bored atheists of the world in one place again
Random fact. My next birthday I'll be 36. I joined this forum when I was 18. So when my birthday rolls around I guess I have literally spent have my life here. I just

apparently talking to nobody what a crazy chickQuote:

WHAT WILL SHE SAY NEXT
Despite being super busy these days I will try to help keep this community alive. So many of my old hangouts are gone. While I never joined this forum before I've lurked here before and have known about this site for over a decade.
This place has some life in it yet. Most of us members are older now and not able to be as active as we would like. Also I get maybe 45 mins of gaming in on a good day now due to how busy I am. I can say though this is the one place online where I feel I have made legit friendships and it’s the people of EoFF that keep it alive. I love all the members here!
EoFF is like The Simpsons. Well past it's prime but still has plenty of people who care. And it will never end.
It is not the end! This post made me sad, so i joined this site. I want to be part of the dying site. I feel like Noel, Caius and Yeul in their dying world. I think Reddit stole all of this site's traffic.
Welcome! I imagine that yes, reddit has stolen a bunch of traffic from all sorts of little fansites. One stop to get all your news.
Yeah. It's a shame because the individual sites are cool and unique. It makes me sad seeing all of your guys' dates for "Member Since" some are all the way back in 2001! That's crazy to me. You yourself joined in 05. Obviously you all have loved this site for a long time.
I like that it's called the Villa Straylight I approveQuote:
