The problem with the refugee boards is that there will never be any new users stumbling in.

You're assuming that the people running VNRefugee boards have no industry contacts or plans...


Never bet on vaporware.

Bonk might post links to the IGN Outpost to his Facebook page, driving in thousands of new posters!

Planet Fury sucks. The URL's to each thread use the title, which can often be NSFW.



That's called SEO, for crying out loud. What a thing to complain about.

Whatevs, my company blocks me out because of it, if there are any words in the URL on their list.

I kind of liked the idea of putting the forum link in the sig then trolling other boards to see who got hooked...

Given that this bored is still up, what are the odds that Mithan is just trying to get everyone off IGN and onto his new site?

IMO there are really only two options. IGN and Planet Furry. The problem with the refugee boards is that there will never be any new users stumbling in. The death of that forum is inevitable and I don't think it will take that long. IGN and Furry will bring us fresh meat and we absolutely need that for the forum to survive.



How can you be sure of this? Not saying you're necessarily wrong, but I see no reason to believe that "new people" will find either of those sites, especially the IGN one, which (in the case of the Outpost) is an off-topic board related to a game that is pretty much dead.



He might be somewhat right. Because of the sheer size of the IGN site.

For example, months and months ago, I stumbled across Teh Vestible board just browsing the site. I still visit it occasionally out of morbid fascination.

Planet Fury looks horrible and is racist but it's run by an Outposter and that's all that matters to me.

I'm going to give IGN a fair shot.

Last night was over the top. It should not be what we make the decision over.

I think it will mellow out and be a good enough forum, but I still want to keep my options open so I'll be perusing all of them until one of them seems established enough to occupy the majority of my time.

If that doesn't happen I'll probably have to invade the boards my wife posts on. Which will be entertaining as they are a bunch of weak minded cry babies.

IGN Outpost is growing on me if the Mods can be brought under control.

If not, I'll migrate to where most of you are posting.

hopefully it makes it.

If not, you will always be in my memory as a bunch of crazies that made me cynical to humanity been real
