If you take the weak burns away from games, all you have left is flame wars about feminism in the games industry. Is that really what you want?

There was a subforum on the Starbound forum for SA members for some reason and I guess someone leaked its existence. It was all very stupid.

I was in the IRC when it happened. There's a few people that are always all "hey I don't care what 4chan thinks" while constantly refreshing the 4chan Starbound thread to see what 4chan thinks, and then there was a bit of discussion on "we should make a thread about 4chan in the goon forum to see what they would say!" and when it was pointed out that only auth'd users can access the Goon Forum, screenshots of Goonbound were ~mysteriously~ posted in the thread.

But yeah, the game hasn't updated in a while, though there's the terrible Dailies you can sign up for to see little bites of progress at a time. There's some cool stuff coming down the pipeline but it probably won't be in an actual playable form in a while, so hang tight.

Yeah but what was the point of this secret "goon" forum. It just seems weird because it's not like a competitive game or anything, so no reason to have secrets or anything.

There were forums for multiple other communities. They were largely pointless and barely anyone used them and they're gone now, I think. So really, who cares.

People who think that goons run into fun games, drain all the fun out of them with bullshit strategies and then destroy the community. Because, we hate fun things, just like feminists.

Goons are also a massive internet community that ends up with a presence in basically any game worth playing and even some that aren't. We're just kind of...everywhere.

There was an early alpha/beta (a week or two) as well given out to members of a few communities including here. That was the main reason those forums existed.

Well, since its no longer a secret with what we did in the forum, I guess we can do it pretty much openly then.

Chucklefish no, don't. Instead, lobby for Net Neutrality so America's lovely internet doesn't become a thing over there in England as well. Like Ebola.

I assume he was is about the upjumped 4chan nerds, because they're the only ones that got 'in a big huff' over the secret goon forums.

The devs certainly didn't get in a big loving baby huff about it, and we didn't either soo...

A goon subforum for Starbound makes no sense because the Starbound thread on Something Awful is basically a Starbound subforum. I didn't know they were handing out developer builds, but that doesn't matter now because of the nightly beta thing anyway.

Nothing I say actually represents CF's stance on things in any way. *I* think the general public can go get hosed because they are insufferable mouth farters, and jumping from me saying that to accusing CF of believing that is pointless dip-shittery. Much like everything else you've said in the thread, so I know why I am not shocked!

It was basically a carry-over from before release when, yes, some goons had early early build access. I suspect it was nuked to avoid the shitstorm of their terrible community finding out they weren't as super special snowflakes as they thought.

There was also the general rule of 'keep it secret or lose it'

Also I'm still confused, it's like there isn't a whole subforum that can only be read by people who've played :10bux: so I'd guess it'd make the whole private forum redundant and avoid that whole stupid rant about "pubbies".
