I just did too. And while I also don't care for dischord, i would also like some sort of link to see you all at in case that this place does go belly up. Only place worth going online in my opinion.

Me three, and goony nihilism aside, this is one of the subforums I'd really miss if this is indeed the Big One.

Really? Because I can. Maybe that's due to seeing too much as a mod, though. I didn't expect something like this, but I am not surprised.

I barely use Discord and haven't had to use Slack at all, but whatever y'all settle on I'll adapt.

Can somebody shoot me a link to the chickencheese discord?

Also, some people recommended that other :10bux: based forum "bread and roses" as a alternative. Does anybody know if they have a good spooning community? I can't tell without giving them money first.

If it’s a decent forum I’d be ok with an en masse switch

The forum is decent but the food talkin is quite small. But hey that means it just needs an influx of food talkers.

GWS taught me how to cook. Ten years ago I made chicken tacos by painstakingly following a recipe to the letter. Sautéed the chicken in a ceramic pan and barely got it cooked, much less seared nicely, because the recipe said cook 8 minutes so damnit I cooked it exactly 8 minutes and pulled it out. Cut to just the other day where I had some spare taters after putting in a chicken to roast and decided to improvise a simple skillet potato recipe with thyme and a little lemon and fried eggs on top. Love y’all :love:

Yeah there's a food sub forum there. Are they charging for accounts at this point? I joined after a bunch of CSPAM goons bounced after some mod drama and it was invite only, but free

Hopefully the admin team does find an acceptable way to keep the site going, as Reene has suggested. I really like the asynchronous format and reading effortposts. I have trouble following multiple Discords with the same level of engagement, although it's definitely better than losing touch with the community.

After half a day of the NYC/GWS discords I’m inclined to agree.

B&R May be light on the food chat but, uh, we can fix that as one mass exodus.

Yeah nothing is a replacement for this kind of forum format. I hate twitter and reddit and all that poo poo when it comes to having any kind of normal back-and-forth discussion.

Don't have much hope for the future of the something awful dot com forums so lemme just say gws is/was good as hell

I mean I totally believe it really. In the year 2020, where he couldn't sack up from the get go and say "yknow what? Yeah, fyad does suck" and actually do something about it. I totally believe it.

Speaking of which again, hey taxman you really hosed up the handling of that whole debacle around Xmas even when you were dealing with the. Whole, yknow, wife abusing thing you got yourself into then. And also melting your spine. Sorry about that specific part, but ya still hosed up.

e - I fully support luxury gay space communism takeover of the forum because I agree the format is what keeps me here. I can catch up at my pace, instead of feeling like I'd have to read back on everything on discord. Or miss things.

This case of an intraperitoneal zucchini is unusual, and does raise questions as to how hard one has to push a blunt vegetable to perforate the rectum.

From an absolutely cursory view they are separate but both explicitly committed to progressive politics, which can be a little taxing but I feel sits with the zeitgeist here as GWS has in my 12 years been a very welcoming and deliberately inclusive place both politically and for those just learning to cook.

As long as we leave beans out of it.

Yup, it is c-spam so it is quite lefty, but there's food/sports/guns/etc subforums. im a cspam poster, so I'm a-ok with the politics of the place, but it isnt overtly political unless you're in a politics thread afaik in my limited experience posting there
