I think as someone who is the rare new user I'd like to comment that I think the value of these forums is that it does feel like a small community of people who can slow down and have more of a conversation.

I got unhappy with new social media cause it felt like my brain was rotting and people would constantly just parrot the same received wisdom at each other.

I don't know that a ton of new people would maintain that vibe but I feel like if others end up in the same situation as me there may be something of a newbie boom not enough to stop the decline just slow it for a bit the Internet tends to be unpredictable.

Sorry for the long post.

I think I found it when I was a teenager in the 2010's and trying to find LP's of the old DOS hidden agenda game I think I might have found some here or on the Bay12Game forums after that I would usually lurk in the LP threads that were available to the public.

I recently rediscovered the site cause of the aforementioned social media starting to feel like doing the daily Walmart chant. I've been lurking a bit since then but recently bought an account as a Christmas present to myself.
