Decline How the Codex stopped being a site for the free discussion of RPGs

[Taluntain]

wait Taluntain's running the Watch ??

I've taken over the Watch a year ago when Myrthos stepped down, to prevent it from closing down.

tl;dr

Not really, I've been running the Watch out of my own pocket for a year. But obviously that's not sustainable in the long term.

You'd be upset too if you were him. The poor, hideous bastard.

It is reversed reset era at this point. No more a gaming site but an activist site for social justice warriors in denial. I think i will try to join rpg watch if what talunian said is true sounds like the perfect place to be.

I am sorry this hurts you so much. Your problem tho not mine

dude, what are you even blubbering about? it was just a convenient opportunity for a good burn, nothing more, don't be so obsessed

anyway, what are you still doing here? don't let us keep you from the rpgwatch

Eventually, it would have just turned into a ghost town like RPGWatch.

The Watch isn't a ghost town, it's got an active forum community, albeit a much smaller one than the Codex. But that's understandable as it attracts a different audience. Politics, religion, conspiracy theories etc. which form the majority of the Codex discussion today are hardly discussed on the Watch. We don't have hundreds of drama threads spanning dozens of pages either. The overwhelming majority of active discussions are about gaming news and actual gameplay (how quaint, I know). So anyone actually wanting to discuss games will find a lot to like on the Watch. But anyone who comes in for everything but the games, I'm sure will be disappointed by how small a part of the Watch community cares about those discussions.

This sounds a lot incline to me.

Then maybe you should go there and not come back.

I dont know who keeps quoting me?
But is ok i just put oder in my priorities. I genuinely believed the codex to be a fantastic place to talk about gaming but realized i was in the wrong.
Since the forum turned to be this way and the staff wants it i will do what is natural to do.

Talk about games in the watch and be in the codex just how an audience stare to a circus.

After all when you take a box of chocolate you enjoy the taste of chocolate but the box goes to the trash.

So i will enjoy my permanence there and i will stay here soley for the trash factor.

You keep quoting me tho! Lets play a little game you stop quoting me and i wont answer.
Game starts now.

Oh come on put a little more effort in to it you cant lose so easily!

I've been messing around with an undead, poison-spamming fighter in Divinity OS 2. It's not amazing or anything, but fun enough.

Will you just jump in front of a speeding truck already? Everybody hates you so much you have no idea.

This is not about you :D

I thought you liked RPGwatch more because they "talk about games". Stay there since it makes you happy and never come back here.

RPGWatch focuses on discussing RPGs, yes, but you forgot to mention that only mainstream RPGs. Good luck finding there anyone who even played Prelude to Darkness, The Void, Precursors or Pathologic. I was talking to air there. Sure, I could discuss Baldur's Gate 3 there, but while I play mainstream games I rarely find them interesting enough to make me inspired to discuss or keep the interest for long.

Imagine if I managed to convince Prelude to Darkness developers to release source code of their game and posted it on 'watch instead of 'dex. There would be no posts in that topic and nobody would actually take time and put their skills to use for the community and create a fixed version of the game that doesn't crash, like asfasdf and Tramboi did. On watch it would be a waste of time, effort and goodwill of developers.

So, no, general and political discussions aside, 'watch is still vastly inferior to 'dex.

good luck trying to find anyone here. just look at first page and page count in threads in general rpg subforum.
