Hanzo Kid It already has a video on YOUTUBE, more than anything to advertise PLATFORM BUILDER.This is the best [a lot of words TT wouldn't want anyone to say] thing I've ever seen
Enjoy it!
old forums were hosted by Tapatalk. the change was explained in the thread I linked below. I checked out the forum engine RPG Maker community uses (XenForo). its pricing starts at 60$/month. that's not a small expense and I'm not convinced it is worth it. meanwhile, simplemachines is free and open-source. maybe there are cheaper options

I suppose there isn't a definitive answer until we experience a new wave of users in the database, and let them choose which platform they prefer. my guess is a forum monitored by the developer and community-based discord (so pretty much what we have now) offers the best balance. but I don't know
For me Forums are fine. If you watch the RPG Maker MV Forum, then you can see how active and Full of Life Forums can be. This kind of Forum is just old and should be changed completely to a More modern Forum. And there is a Discord Server already. Even that was dead when I was on it.PB forums and discord are dead right now, when more people come, both will revive
I had threads in mind while writing this. might be the best of both worlds. ATM I think they only allow few days before threads are closed.That's the thing, anyways I think threads can be kept forever if there is activity and they can be reopen iirc
I absolutely agree that forums are buggy and kind of hostile. some of us greet and talk to new users but other than that, feels like they've no incentive to come back.. I'm conflicted
// This would be an item randomizer in my game
local var i = random 10
if i = 1
spawn item 1, self
if i = 2
spawn item 2, self
// ...
spawn random tag 1, 1
// Tag with ID 2, kill all enemies from it
kill tag 2
I personally like forums. it has its charm that gets lost in major communicators like Discord. our own place on the Internet, you know what I mean?The game thing can be done using threads right now in Discord, yeah for some stuff forums are good but I think with the recent bot spams, the bugs with the like system, and in general, all feels wacky and old, and yeah, people don't check that commonly. so...
however, I do agree that forum sites are just not that practical for normal communication. many people lose interest before they even register; And because you don't check in nearly as often, discussions often feel more like writing emails rather than actual dialogue.
on the flip-side of the coin, forum pages are far superior at creating specific topics. especially when you consider the nature of PB, people make their own games. we can't give users channels for every game they desire, that'd be way too clunky. if everyone were to advertise in one channel, many would pass unnoticed. you shouldn't expect everyone to... make a website or YouTube channel for their game or something, you know? and for those that wish to show off their work, forums work very well.
I think this is a good compromise (for now). official forums and community run DC server.
