You could start with an experiment. Top third of the page SRO. Second third another MMORPG or some game you feel you can draw community from. Last third your general forums and off topic. You'd need to find another MMO sort of game that you guys can support and play. Something that won't die in a year or be replaced by its fifth sequal

Note that if this site became as active as it was in 2011, things like.. moving to powerful servers and money come into play again. As far as I understand, no one has said anything over the years because you guys don't use a lot of bandwidth. But as just users, concern yourself not with that. Again, I haven't heard from Ghan (or TheHelper) in a very long time so I don't know whats goin on

Wise words from the boss indeed.
Also agree on not banning all members. But we can probably apply some kind of filter to the list... Or check the ban reasons one by one


I really like this idea. As opposed to a big-bang type of change, we ease our way into it.
The thing I'm mostly in doubt of is how we are going to promote our forum once we've implemented the changes we have in mind, where we're going to find new members. I'm willing to check with old friends who used to be on SRF (if they still use their e-mail addresses lol). But I'm no expert in community building for a site with legacy such as SRF.


I like to believe that all of our still active members would not mind donating a small amount of cash in order to keep things running. If I understand you correctly, you, Ghan_04 and TheHelper are currently paying the costs for hosting.. That doesn't sound right if it's all of us posting on here.

Also, my home IP got permabanned last night for posting unwanted content lol. What's up with that

Could you PM me that IP?

Honestly, I'm already overjoyed with the pseudo-revival we see just based around all these revival threads. Suddenly all the oldboys crawling out from w/e they were hiding. It's definitely not back to it's prime yet, but it's 10x more active than it's been in the last 2-3 years D:

People are saying yes to discord but it isn't happening. Why?

I won't use it, I can't fix my sound settings and haven't been able to for years.

I'm up for a Discord.

All in favor? I'd like to hear 2-3 opinions?

hey, big fan here

Well...
I got 0l3n to agree as well over steam chat. And I assume darkjackal agrees as well...
So I guess that means we're giving this a go.

I'll drop the server link tomorrow, since it's rather late. I'd like to be around when the crowd starts gathering to ensure everything goes smoothly.

Let's make this work guys. I don't want to be responsible for hitting the last nail in the coffin
When I drop the link, spread the word. The ball needs start rolling fast if this is to work out.

But if it doesn't work out, promise me you all will keep on posting here Q_Q
I have kept this place as the first tab in my browser for over 10 years straight. I don't look forward to putting an end to that anytime soon.

This feels like one of the hardest decisions I've ever made.

Well...
I got 0l3n to agree as well over steam chat. And I assume darkjackal agrees as well...

P.S. I get drunk a lot and force people to listen to me sing Taylor Swift. You have been warned.

That's ok, I bet you have an adorable accent~

I like coming back once in a while and seeing what is up. I hope it continues for the foreseeable future. I am realistic that this forum will never grow or will become daily viewing. I do hope that it continues to be a place we can all visit from time to time to reconnect with people who we once spent a lot of time with in our youth. I hope that continues for many years to come.
