Is This Forum Dying?

But that doesn't mean we aren't allowed to talk on other related stuff in the Sandbox Forum. Even if SMBX isn't up to date unless VSMBX and PGE is up, it still is avaiable to talk about SMBX related stuff.

The comma wouldn't have worked here at all, however.

Look careful:
- in first cause PGE will not officially supported by SMBX.org TEMPORARY, while I'm not completed PGE Engine part of PGE Project
- in second - with no time limit, when I will focus to Talkhaus, when SMBX.org will have a slow death

First of all, that's not what he was referring to.
Second of all, what?!

He was saying his decisions to not officially support PGE on this forum are nothing personal against you.

Ultimately you made no sense.

The main question about official support of PGE which important for us. What about me personally, is another discussion.

SMBX.org is not going to have a "slow death". As the SMBX community, we've been around for a long time and will continue to get new members.

What I'm concerned about is keeping the old/current members here. Adding support for another editor isn't going to fix that problem since, at the end of the day, I imagine people will grow tired of Mario editing regardless of the editor and will just want to hang out with their friends.

I left for like a month and came back, and its sad to say that I normally come back when something or someone is bugging me to the point where I JUST HAVE TO CHECK. thanks btb
Its not a curse, and it doesn't bother me too much, but it is difficult to escape this place when you have valid/invalid reasons to butt your head into something.

Keeping the old and current members here is tasking as we need to find out what interests them most and attempt to cater towards that to get their attention and stay longer, I've said this before already.

I suggest you make a poll weather it should be "officially" supported/stickied or whatever and see what the outcome is from there.
And Joey, Smbx has been dead since 2010 and still has a huge amount of followers, with a new and far more advanced editor coming up I really don't see why Mario editing as a whole would die out any time soon.
Besides, the PGE topic is nearing 100 pages...What does that tell you.

Postby **Shadow Yoshi** » Wed Apr 01, 2015 12:04 pm

That isn't what I said. I realize that SMBX is still popular and will attract new users (and I never said Mario editing is dying out). What I'm concerned about is keeping old/current users around - keeping this forum in its current state and/or supporting more editors won't do that.

idk about you Joey but if it'd help I left this place cause I basically moved on, mainly because I dislike this community, it's an opinion I know, you can't satisfy everyone, but it's just how things will be, if someone dislikes something, they'll just eventually move on (The only reason why I began posting today again is because people keep fucking linking me to this place like Jesus Christ you know I don't like this place but I understand that the link has something you want to show me but fjfoeodjgnroapxlcpejwldpf PLEASE)

And I just want to clear something up on the whole "People never leave the SMBX community" maymay; it's not true obviously, as we've witnessed, but the people that dislike this community but are still here is because they have virtually no where else to go so they keep coming back as this is the only community they have that they know they're at least known in

Look careful:

- in second - with no time limit, when I will focus to Talkhaus, when SMBX.org will have a slow death

For the record, I'm pretty sure both of those are incorrect (at least in any American English), and there shouldn't be in a comma in either of the cases you mentioned.

to not officially support PGE here, at the moment, are nothing personal against you

You could do this instead; this most strongly implies, however, that he may have a personal vendetta against you in the future (of which is very unlikely).
Writing the sentence without commas is the meaning he intended:
[No official support currently] is not your fault | as opposed to | No official support is [currently not your fault].
(No commas) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (Two commas)

Anyway, this is a topic where people complain and stuff. I agree with some of it maybe.

In my opinion, this fourm has lost what made this place great; the early members.
I've been inactive for a while now and haven't been involved in anything lately but this place seems like a ghost town.

I agree somewhat, which does go back to what Joey said about having a smaller community, as it does tend to stay a lot more close-knit in my opinion. Despite everyone wanting to expand a little, that was quite a valid point, in which I kind of prefer smaller, more close-knit communities. Plus, the thing with forums is, they have two constant problems which ultimately decide their fate, which both come under internet traffic. The first problem is getting out there and getting a decent amount of traffic to get the place running and not failing at the start line, a problem this forum has obviously overcome. The second issue, is keeping the traffic constant once you've first overcome problem 1, which is the hardest of the two issues to regulate. You can't force people to log in and you can't make everyone happy at once, basically you have to do the best you can with what you've got.

I wonder what FNC2014 and SD have to do with that.

There was NEVER this much level of anger from the people here back in 2009.
and btw there are lots of 2009 users that i haven't seen around. people probably HAVE left SMBX for good and have no intentions of returning. they probably forgot all about it.
