SRF dead?

[Mirosuke]

Hey uhm... recently I checked SGD (Silkroad General Discussion) or pretty much the other sub-forums related to it are... pretty much dead...

etc, Other SRO versions seems to be OK.

My point is the forums real essence is talking about the game... which doesn't serve completely. Everything is out date, some new users trying to get help but most of the time they don't get what they're looking for.
I come here almost on a daily basis (or whenever I am on my computer) just to check OTL or Other Games. That's it.

Not complaining but... just saying because I care about SRF community. Since it's forum I've been the longest. Ever. :/ Not saying I am getting bored of the regular members (ol' skool ftw) but a few new faces is sometimes good to read.
What do you guys think?

I've been here nearly 8 years, really has it been that long? I played SRO for about a month, maybe longer, can't remember it's been that long. I stay on OTL, because I've been here that long, made some good friends in the past! But SRF isn't what it use to be, and really needs reviving, even OTL needs reviving as well! But I think the only way that is going to happen, perhaps through word and mouth in game? Is there even anyone that plays SRO, that have been here a long time?

I can honestly say, looking back when I first joined, I've grown up a lot!

[rek]

srf is still my homepage, and i dont think its ever gonna change. ill lurk forever.

[*BlackFox]

Holy crap.. I've been here for a long time. Anyway.. this is actually only the 3nd thread.
I've seen for something like this. But I do agree SRF: Nostalgia Isn't what it used to be.. lulz
But Meh.. SRF is not dead!

[[SD]Master_Wong]

holy hell 9 years iv been here wtf yeh its changed but so has the game eventually the forum will die same with sro nothing can be done to stop that but for now i stil come and enjoy talking, when i can play sro i do why worry. things are been done to try inject life back into the site like unbanning a lot of old members, id remove the exposed botters its pointless

also oldest active member minus oh lord and admin ryoko

[inky]

Ah, 2006. What the hell was I doing that year...

[omier]

^I was probably playing SRO.

[*BlackFox]

ROFL ^

[Skyve]

Meh what is there to think about really? I can't quit till I get 10k post (signed a contract with the SRF gods) so I guess ill be here for a while.

[MrTwilliger]

I think the place is pretty active considering that a large majority of the current community don't even play SRO any more. At the end of the day this is a gaming forum, yet most of us come here not for the game itself but rather for the community and interactions that we have all come to know and love over the years. We've seen great men and women come and fall under the weights of bans and inactivity. We've had amazing discussions, trolls for the ages and some interesting topic matter. And, in time, this will continue to occur.

Dead, alive; call it what you want. As long as our community stays around then I will continue to be here as well.

Oh noes, more spam and nosense coming from Skyve

Community is great, specially from OTL. It's like an extra feed from FB for me, except I can't like the posts :p

[Azilius]

SRF can't die, where else would I be a dick?

[cpinney]

Well if SRO 2 does actually come out i am sure that will bring in some new blood into the forums. Also whenever Ryoko does show back up from being MIA we can add new mods that actually play or are involved in SRO so they can do something with these sections.

guess im not the worse at math, if im the oldest active member at 7 years and you have been here 8? lol though i did genuinely make a mistake

[BuDo]

If the game that spawned a forum is dying a horrid (and much deserved) death then for sure the forum will be affected...Make sense to me.. SRO was what everybody had in common...can't expect an upsurge of people to just show up either....Something have to keep them here and OTL won't do it..... The only thing that might revive this forum is SRO2 were we might see the return of some old friends along with new faces...

[Tasdik]

OSV also works. But you know, its whatever.

[Squirt]

SRF is my homepage as well. Prefer it to youtube sometimes

[Toshiharu]

Too bad people don't know how to lulz nowadays.

[Rosato]

Silkroadforum is just getting old is all. People don't really play the game much anymore.

[*BlackFox]

No wonder ^ Well, SRF turns 8 years old... at the end of year. lulz
