Is this forum dying?

I HAVE BEEN SILENCED TOO LONG TOO LONGI'VE ESCAPED FROM PRISON

Edit from Taiyz: To answer your PM, yup.
Edit from Keele: Stop

Not even remotely... I've seen  more remote situations than this....

That is to say I think I might have posted this here but the forum where I just basically have been far and
away the most desperate situation and within a year or two had resurrected it to be a place where literally thousands of people were trafficking.

The situation got so big it actually became a thing and then all the moderators and everyone got into
a big argument over who deserved credit and how to move forward after being starved for ar attention
And well now I'm here but suffice to say they all "|made it" with their thoughts/ideas/favorite games
and messages and convo in tact....

So basically suffering from self-inflicted wounds... but the actual content? The game etc? They all thought
it was gone and worse than this and proven totally wrong.

Same here IMO maybe the same process.... bits and pieces... but it's enough... for what... who can say... but as a forum
this seems like a fair amount of people or interest compared to the relevant time periods to say no, it's not dying.

Honestly if someone goes "Is X dying?" It's probably not... when things are more serious people go into a lunatic fringe
Sorta pure everything is amazing mode at times which is ludicrous....

This place has the gift of some degree of reflection... which is indicative of life honestly....


Incidentally that place since I feel like i'm being all mysterious for no reason is a place called RPGFan…


But yeah it's also still around I should add... but If eel almost certain it's just a matter of time....


……………...I U ge guess honestly even theoretically I could be wrong... but it's a really toxic place at this point.


Personall!y! I'm not hoping for that result here though the rise and fall etc... or anything.... I just want a nice play place

to talk about games... and especially the tAles series as it's become one of my favorites.....

Yeah, it really was. Most people only knew Symphonia because it was the first game to be correctly advertized. There are people who got to know the series since Phantasia, but they are quite rare.

At least, now, things are much better.

I've always wonddr wondered why there's a huge gap between series like anyone I try to get to care about Destiny etc
It's like whoa this is a completely foreign thing... PHantasia a few people pick it up but
essentially almost no one really before that point in many ways....


But it's because of localization and how games were sold I guess, not necessaril because of dislike towards the series...

That' kins kinda a bummer....


So back in the day though there and still is this company called Tri Ace and they made the best JRPGs really... hands down...

whereas Tales was the funny side kick... nowadays though especially starting the Xillia era I see Xillia as s kicking off
a new era where Tales is well known and respected as a premier genre... whereas I still really like Tri Ace
but I honestly think Tales is basically the better series now.

Personally I find Symphonia to be very much in the middle as far as the series goes... it's very representative of both
p;ast and present... I think almost all fans probably agree it's a good representation for the tales series.

I still have no idea why Namco decided to merge all of their forums. The Tales section over there is even less active than this place...

This is something I've always wanted to know about... as someone who we experien eced Tales in an earlier era it

literally meant going to the end of the game and saying "Whoa all these Japanese names"


And that's like all the interaction you got.... non... no... hey there are other fans, hey where can I meet them... just

flat out no communication other than the game itself.


But yeah I guess somewhere in between there and here there was a whole Namco official site with forums and stuff....

I wonder if its w in the way back machine or something?

"NOT EVEN REMOTELY" uh ? ?? my forum games used to be booming the only reason it's alive right now is cause you're triple replying in every thread even I know not to do that. I'm calling the authorities @slivius get him

the tales >>>>sERIES <<< IS alive but this forum is dead cause I stopped coming here and then everyone left when I did  

Well all right whatever it's hard to find places to talk about this series online.

I don't know anyone IRL that's played it honestly except my cousin and she moved to Japan.

There's stuff for anime like myanimelist and stuff but that's mostly anime and people get kinda weird when yout alk about video games.

But I mean whatever I didn't even know there were forums for the series in the first place of any kind and so this would of just been a bonus of some kind.

I will miss this forum

It was a good memory.
