Shut down heroes forum at this point

Feels like opening tumblr. Constant therapy speak (literally all the time it feels like), weird inappropriate comments (of a nature i don’t think i can discuss on the forums), never discussion about the actual game. Just bored people in their parents basement being creepy, grandstanding about moral ethics, and massively oversharing personal details about their life. Imagine coming to these forums as a new player, and that’s all you see.

I know you can ignore it, that’s not the point. I don’t think we should just allow this to continue to fester.

From the player’s perspective, there’s absolutely no advantage to shutting down the forums vs them just leaving.

Why not simply just leave? Addiction?

But that’s not all you see.

The forums are more stale than ever, but that doesn’t mean they cannot make a comeback, especially if there is a rework of the game in the works.. These forums used to be incredibly active and other blizz forums (like Wow) are still very active.

Game gets a rework, Blues start posting here again, Blizz junior devs stop posting on reddit and these forums will be active again.

I miss when Az Jackson and DWarren used to post on both.

Or Lana… damn I’m old.

You sound new to the internet to complain about the reality of how forums have worked for decades.

Did you know you can identify someone’s burned corpse by looking at their teeth?
If you have access to their dental history and teeth formula, which contains information about filling, dental crowns or dental implants, you can use that to confirm someone’s identity.

I actually gave it a look, all the mega threads are like giga dead, the most at least seldom active is the GG thread and the salt mines v3 which was… 6 days ago and requires you to scroll.

lol

And now we see why no one wants to post here anymore.

No one is forcing you to read the forums. If it bothers you, then you need to work on it. Not shut the whole thing down, because of “feelings”

…well that escalated quickly. May I suggest taking a break from HotS/forums?

On topic, most of us here have run out of things to talk about and idea threads or just ideas in general usually get shutdown or abandoned after a while. There are fits and spurts of activity here when heroes are reworked, updated, or some new thingy is released, but most talking points have been exhausted by now.

That said, I strongly oppose shutting down any forum due to the information that can be found hidden away. Gearbox did that with their forums after it started going stagnant (coincidentally around the time Borderlands 3 launched) resulting in dozens of guides and hundreds upon hundreds of pages of information lost forever.

…the Unofficial Gearbox Discord is a ghost town and the Borderlands discord is…it’s really weird.

You did it, bouncy. I have to admit it, I couldn’t have pulled off such a feat. Simple, but it’s exactly this simplicity that makes it more remarkable. I applaud you. :clap::clap::clap:

Now I know how a lot of our friends would feel if they didn’t have breakfast this morning.

Do you know how sick it makes me that people like DrLogan and Underwory can be actively threaten people with zero issues becuause they are little celebrities on these lawless forums?

Hi i know you got your friends/paid actors to report my post, but this still doesn’t change the fact that you are treatening to burn me alive for posting something you mildly disagree with, ““friend””

A threat wasn’t posted, and people weren’t bribed to report a flagrant post that was a clear violation of forum conduct.

It used to be a ‘fun’ forum gimmick that people would derail a ‘dead topic’ with odd facts or media clips.

You’re effectively trolling yourself with the falsehoods you’re posting in trying to blame anyone else for you making yourself out to be a flagrant victim of your own deceptions, Bouncyboi.

As an anon, you may want to consider other outlets for dealing with neurodivergence as scapegoating isn’t a sustainable one.

Seems to work fine for you :3

Refreshed? I do intermittent fasting and it works wonders for me and my mood.

Well, I dont think the Forumites would be capable of such things. They give me the vibes of certain terminally online members of particular direction of politics.

Mods are slow to delete the thread so people throw a fun fact.

Honestly, I actually thank you for making this some people really need to see how the intern moderators needs a raise for keep this place clean of amazing things people have been in a civil manner posting. :folded_hands:
