You can always start using Discord and create own Discord server for people from this forum and continue the same community yourself.
You can even use Slack or Any other communication app, tho Discord is most popular for players.
Its similar like we got Clan Discord and we just have own non-clan friends community there too.
Or… you can create forum yourself, but imo non sense for not many people. Not many will join not official forum anyway when there are ready alternatives.
Im not reddit specialist, but i guess you can also create own crossout community there?
I also do not wish this forum to disappear, but its not so important for me. Also they do it because probably not many people use it anyway. (well because they were killing game with bad balance anyway lol)
Its got me spooked. Im not putting another dollar in for a while, because if this game is gonna get shutdown, im not gonna help paying the last month of rent for them. This battlepass is lackluster as it is, and the minipasses havent got me interested in quite a while to boot.
It does make me a little nervous, but the BPs are cheap enough that I’m going to keep buying the main ones for now. I never bothered with the mini-BPs and I don’t see that changing.
I suspect that the issue is less about the future of the game, and more about there being too many forums to moderate. When they killed off the old forum, it was apparent that they wanted to try to get everyone in one place, and seems like they want that space to be Reddit.
I would rather they put their money into the game than into moderating various forums in multiple languages. And volunteer moderation comes with a lot of challenges.
And when we look at the types of posts that dominate the forum, I can understand why the devs might think they wouldn’t be losing much by killing off the forums.
I’m more worried about longer than normal queue times in game. I hope that’s just related to update glitches, but could be a sign of decline.
I will be disappointed if this place goes. I dont post much but i read and visit alot because there is good info here and i like being at the official forum.
I like this community and most likely won’t sign up for reddit…it just seems very massive and less cozy than this lil corner we have here.
The problem with volunteer moderators is that the kind of person who wants to do it for free will cause more problems then they will fix. Someone has to moderate the moderators in that scenario.
I knows Nordvarg on the russian forum sure loves to moderate with a Iron fist so he must of been payed really well. Over here it is usually only when things get really out of hand then does the moderators take action, dunno if Quaero_et_tego and DieselMD are payed or not.
Please stop gaslighting yourself! This forum hasnt been moderated at all since charlie left for cigarettes! When he returned it was only to shag mom one last time.
After the first couple of months in this brown forum period moderation happened only when moderators got spammed by mass flagging. Nobody actually checked on us or cared in any way at all. They merely reluctantly showed up when they had to. And targem definitely didnt spend any effort or cash here.
After the old forum died people were mad because they deleted all the suggestions and guides people put their time in. Remember lucash leaving over this?
And now you wont even cry over having all your ideas deleted again?! Boy did this company do a number on you. But many who now dont care anymore were insisting this forum still had merit and some secretive ghost devs would lurk for all the great ideas and such. Alas, it was all just a phantasm!
The only purpose of this brown forum was to die. The only dev post even said so in the first week, with minimal reading between the lines required to understand.
Someone said it already, why not make a r/browncrossoutforum sub?! I guarantee you, it wouldnt get overrun and id wager the name is available. Maybe ill do it, if i can find an eligible reddit account. I guarantee the exact same moderation!
That’s not correct but I normally have to contact them to look. I’m not your mom though and I shouldn’t have to do that just for people to behave… Most of them come show up if asked. Honestly your giving them reasons to shut down the forums. Outside of a few arguments most of us know when something crosses the line and can report the issue ourselves. Outside of a few bad arguments this is probably one of the most spam free places on the web. Think about it.
Barely passes the bar for self-deprecating but ill let it slide and since youre a friend ill let you in on a little secret: there wont be any mods or moderation whatsoever! And i doubt reddit itself would actually care, just like here!
Yes youre right, my mom is dead. And youre right again, you wouldnt have to do that were it not for your unsurmountable lust to do it anyways. Youre a tattling tammy and thats all the moderation we had here. Not that we needed it, it still is a safe space, dont you forget about it.
Spam free when theres literal spam bots every now and then, i dunno. And dont blame me for the inevitable shutting down of this forum, its wrong.
If it was like 6 months ago I prob would but I’m super burned out I just said that to see if you’d accept me but all the power to yea if your sub reddit gains traction.
I tell them about good and fair ideas too and I pass by around two times a day. I’m not a moderator either think about it for a few moments before you respond. The majority of the stuff I ask to take down is real spam, it’s probably less then a precent where I’ve said look at this it’s a bad conversation.
I normally like that they leave us a lone a little more so the other forums from what I’ve seen but I do wish they’d give us some better avenues for connecting with them. It’s never helped us for people attacking each other or them when it comes to communication.
I just don’t want to make Reddit part of my online routine, after spending so many years managing to avoid it.
I’ve spent too much of my adult life online, and have gradually been eliminating the aspects that don’t improve my life.
Although I’m not really sure if this forum improved my life. There’s been some good, but also a lot of bad. Maybe that cancels out to neutral?
