State of the nation...erm forum address

It has been 6 months since the official death of MyGaming. MyGaming’s “last” day was 1 March 2018, and our little forum has been the official refuge to the lost souls of sites past now for 6 months. The site has been active for longer than that though, but only since March have we been able to talk openly about our little corner of the internet.

We have come a long way since those early days. We’ve started many different initiatives, played many games, and shared many a tale. We’ve seen people come and go, we’ve seen the introduction of a front page, and many more.

But our work is not over. For a while now the wheels have been spinning, but little traction has been made. We started the Most Epic Multiplayer evening, but it died down. We recorded 2 podcasts, but only one saw the light of day. We’re doing GameClub, which is seeing some great enthusiasm, but not a lot of completion. We’ve had different racing competitions, which have ground to a halt.

I wish for the site to grow, to gain traction, to see more discussion, more discourse, more ideas. I know that personally my time has been limited, and many struggles to juggle daily life with forum activity. I wish for more action and more ideas, for traction on our initiatives.

While my time will be limited, I will endeavour to change. To bring action to the forum. To breathe life into our fledgeling community. We started out with so many ideas, yet they all died out so quickly.

I call upon you all to join me in trying your best. Trying to create more, write more, play more, join more, talk more, share more. We have some great people here with great ideas, and I hope we can bring those ideas to life.

Thank you all for a wonderful 6 official months, and here’s to many more!!

I was wondering, could we have like a (MEW) clan-tag type thing when playing games, just for like a little passive marketing, maybe limmiting it to games where we play on SA servers like quake champions, battlefield or DOTA2. It may make people think this is more of a gaming clan than a forum, but i rekon those who want to stay will stay and those who want to leave will leave if it’s not for them. Just throwing it out there

If you look on Steam that is my tag already - I also have the forum link in my signature on all other forums I use.

Thanks for the update Hammer - I will have to also try and be more active/new articles - I have been struggling of late to write something, but want to turn the desktop/gamerooms of our group into an article end of the week - giving everyone time to comment :smiley:

Happy 6 month anniversary!

So happy we made this our new home - I dont think I would have survived if MyG died and we all split up.

I’d be happy to contribute personalised and/or game specific [MEW] avatar images for this if anyone would like:

Solid background and one with a transparent background. Site auto resizes them, so click to enlarge and download at full size (1080x1080px).

Me three. You always think you have more time than you actually have. Launching something and keeping it running is always more effort than you think.

(Though MEW as a whole is going along well, as you mention, the individual projects we’ve tried to launch kind of peter out.)

I’ve learnt a lot from trying to do stuff, and I hope that the next time I tackle one of the projects people have suggested it will be more successful.

You’re a legend @DieGrootHammer. Thanks for this post.
