All communities lose steam over time. I do tend to lurk but life made me a busy man… I cannot be as active as I once were, unfortunately.
There are still good posts. Each time I pass by, I still see people trying to share their games and dev tricks.  Beer!
So, as the old saying goes…

Well, I thought I'd check it out after being absent for ages, and missing indie-forum culture. Not a fan of transient nature of other social media.

So, how dead is it here?
I'm happy to start posting again if there are a few peeps here. Maybe even old friends!

Pretty dead but keep an eye out, for something that might be a thing, possibly this year, maybe

I'm a relatively new member (joined last year) and I like the "slowness" here. I like to click the "show posts unread since you last came" and it's just short enough that I can see most of them instead of being overwhelmed.

I feel like you can get lost in a big community like discord. I think people use twitter, tiktok, gamejolt, reddit, itch.io, steam and youtube now and build communities around an existing game being developed, so I think there's definitely an active and huge gamedev community elsewhere. But there's something cozy about forums and I quite like it being smaller so you can know people better and you can stumble upon new devlogs. I think a forum feels more personal, while social media feels more like marketing for your game.

absolutely! Big fan of this also, that's why I'm saying small communities are always better.

What did the "golden age" mean to you guys?
People being excited about each others games. It still happens, I believe or really hope so, I haven't posted anything game related in years, but for me that was the reason I fell in love with this place. It really helped me push through some dark times, as corny as it sounds, it's one of the pillars of my continuous pursuit of making games.

I checked out a few places before deciding to lay roots here.  A lot of these places have a a culture of negativity, and not in a constructive way.  I think they are more after a reaction or upvotes than actually helping each other.
Yas queen! "fingersnap" I hate this new culture with a passion, there is no honesty, vulnerability, only this gross, make you wanna cringe-curl into the shower cabin, facade.
I hope tig won't ever get infected by this plague and will keep fostering what it did so far. But i guess it's up to us to keep it that way Gentleman

I feel you man. However tig feels like a good old friend, you can be MIA for years and still come back whenever like you never left in the first place. Cheers to this community, you lovely, lovely weirdos. Feels like home! Beer!
