The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

wondering if deron has died/abandoned this place, hasn't logged in for nearly a month or acknowledged the broken search function

Personally I'm rooting for its demise. I check back here once a year or so, and every time I'm bummed it still exists.

Bulletin boards were the peak of social media. There are 6 or more other ones I post on these days. I still love you, Ultimate Metal.

Unfortunately, it looks like it's slowly dying. I never thought it would be this way. It's my all-time fav forum, but it seems people are coming on here less and less, judging by the main forum and when the last posts were added. Sad.

this happened before and it revived. i might try to post more, a few new people seemed to pop up lately.

being bummed that this forum still exists is a super weird take, forums were so much better than most of the social media crap that's replaced them.

I'm bummed whenever some inactive user returns just to say some worthless shit like that.

It's like knocking on someone's door and telling them they suck and that you hope their house burns down, then running away.

That's at least kinda funny.

Depends which side of the door you're on I guess.

Reddit is cool tho. You have band subsections there, where you can discuss anything you want, and it's more interactive. I guess it's the future for social media. Boards like this one seem obsolete, even though we love them. Anyways, I'll always keep popping in here from time to time. This fucking place, like it or not, shaped my metal taste to a great extent, and I remember the majority of bands that I discovered thanks to it. A huge debt of gratitude. Good times were had as well. These fucking Themed Song games were ace, as well as album rankings and best songs on each album.

Very apt analogy.

reddit has no sense of community though most of the time, it's just random faceless drones and most of them seem to have the same personality. it also suffers from the usual social media issue of defaulting to the most popular comments and reinforcing groupthink. plus if you don't jump on a post the day it was posted you're often already too late to get any interaction.

i do quite like discord though.

I've been kinda enjoying X lately.

Yeah, that shit fucks me up. Sometimes even if you do jump on quickly you get zero interaction. I can't think of a website I hate more, but I still find myself using it now and then.
