    I started watching Ross when I was nine. My first episode was probably the first one in like 2008 like it was for most people, but where it really started for me was on 10.5 the year after where the series seemed to end and I watched it start to finish for the first time, wondering if it was over - then I realized it was an April Fool's special. Episode 11 came out a few weeks later and I've watched since. Five years later, I came to this community aboard the hype train of the first series ending and didn't think much of it. A bunch of combative millennials who had the same fights over and over for years at a time. Very boring. But around 2017, I was wanting to branch out a little more because my regular life was a bit less than stellar at that time, so I figured... why not this place? At least I could give it a try. So I started. Slowly. As time went on, I made a friend. Riley. She liked me, decided to take a chance on me, brought me further into the community, gave me greater responsibility. I met Selous, Ken, CIA, Daniel Sangeo, Alyxx, and lots of other people. I was far from perfect but I did things that were worth doing, made friends who were worth having, and it was a nice thing to come home and spend a little time on it whenever I could. For a while, I left. Life started moving again and so I moved on. But my time here meant something. Enough for me to be asked to return, enough to be given new opportunities to rekindle old friendships, build new ones. I was given trust and new responsibilities to help the community and in doing so, I got to meet a lot of wonderful folks from all over the world and this time, I even made friends who really stuck with me. I wanted to say how grateful I was to this community on the chance that I never get another to make this testament, or at least before too much time has passed. I know I've had my share of conflicts and falling outs with folks around here over the years and I know I'm not always such a great person to be around. But I hold fond feelings for all of my old pals from around here regardless, and those who know me and have shared feelings with me will know that I mean what I say when I tell you that I'll be remembering you.

    I meant no one else cares in the SKG community! So still Game Over.

    Hosting an interactive platform of any kind is becoming increasingly difficult. I'm not sure if this is a happy accident that works in the favour of large corps or some kind of planned consolidation. Between age verification, the possible repeal of Section 230, GDPR, a growing list of expected features, and constantly shifting privacy laws, it becomes harder to defend having forums. On the tech side, I'm not sure which is worse; the hyper-commercialization of CMS vendors or the increasingly complex attacks that necessitate using something with commercial support. Invision Power (the platform this site is built on) is moving towards version 5, which required a total site rewrite. I'm not excited to stay with them as (in my opinion) they have become pushy with their cloud hosted solution, and it feels like they're trying to shove away the smaller customers that built them. I've also rarely had great success with their support. I'm not saying they're "terrible" or "enshittified", please do not bother them, but it's obviously no longer the right platform for this site. For what it's worth, I've finished converting the site to Xenforo. I figured if I had to rewrite the site anyways, it was the perfect opportunity to move to something more future-proof. Xenforo has evolved into a solid platform. This doesn't mean we plan to keep the forums, but we wanted a platform that could support forums should they be needed again in the future. That being said, we're still discussing the future of the forums. On the topic of spam, it would be great if IPB had an Akismet integration option. If we were going to stick with this platform, I would find a way to shoehorn that in. I did implement hCaptcha and set it to the highest difficulty which is stopping 300-500 account creation attempts per day.

    Sadly, you have to start small, and build up to the big changes. Political figures right now are vehemently opposed to any form of change, to the point that many of them will oppose any change whatsoever. As far as Steam itself is concerned, they leave the EOL stuff to the devs, and don't interfere. I would be opposed to forcing them to do anything else, because it could very well destroy the platform that is, by far, the best digital distribution platform ever created. They are entirely privately owned, which is a VERY good thing, and reduces the amount of control outside forces can impose upon them. They have proven over time that they are extremely pro-consumer focussed, and forcing them to kill themselves to better fit your particular definition of it, doesn't actually improve things for anyone.
  12. BTGBullseye
    Don't start that again.

    He doesn't need to cut his hair. Wearing it in a ponytail would suffice. In fact, that would be rather appropriate for him.

    I think it was either one of the racing game videos (like the crew or need for speed) or Quarantine.
  15. kerdios
    If you refer to some of the first SKG videos Ross uploaded he does actually refer to this issue, but no one else cares so that's that. Game over.
  16. Solarizz started following Gaussian Splat for Games?
  17. Solarizz
    Heya i tried to find if this topic brought up somewehere but i didnt find any so i hope im right here. I remember that Ross in one of his videos, he mentioned on a tangent about preserving game maps and world as much as possible by just walking around a game map and somehow scanning the data of it. This way you wouldnt even have to mod the game or anything (free fly cameras would always be best i guess) I really liked the idea but i dont know which video it was, maybe someone knows what im reffering too and could link it. So recently i watch this video by CorridorCrew about gaussian splat tech They even use already existing 3D Models in the video so the jump to games wouldnt be so far off right? Having other games map in something like VR chat would be so cool imo. Let me know what you think of the tech and if it would actualy be applicable to game preservation or somthing like that.

    The only thing I'm really using the forum for these days is getting subtitles so I can place them on the vids. If there was a way to do this, perhaps having some kind of official repository (my Google Drive wasn't cutting it) for subs, I'd be happy to migrate to that new way of doing things. As to the forums itself, if there's some kind of end-of-life plan (eh? EH?!) for it, that'd be a good idea, too.
  20. Im_CIA
    Well I wouldn't go that far. Case in point
  21. Im_CIA
    @glowing-arch I think so. But visit the skg server and ask either WhiteHorse or Mr. President. There is no God or SKG on this website... only Temu and chainsmoking homeless people https://discord.gg/TCE6uXwsBe
  22. Im_CIA
    And them(them them them) And after all, We're all just ordinary pones
  23. Im_CIA
    Anyway @TB Forums4Lyfe
  24. Im_CIA
    That sounds like something entirely out of scope for SKG... do you even know what SKG is? Well, what am I saying- of course nuKerdios doesn't. "As I expected"
  25. mrglanet
    Actually, he did kind of identify as that: https://youtu.be/N_4Y9QKpAqs?t=6710

    In the last videochat, Ross has personally endorsed this Initiative (though not as a Stop Killing Games figure): https://eci.ec.europa.eu/053/public/ https://www.goodfoodforall.eu/faq/ If you'd like, get your friends and family that are EU citizens to sign like with Stop Killing Games: https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/how-it-works/faq_en#paragraph_825

    Hey y'all, I'm new here. Is there a way we can attend the conference online, like a Zoom call or something? I don't want to participate per say but I'd like to watch it live.

    Subs up!

    The fact that you consider it necessary to explain that to Ross is utterly hilarious. I'm not sure whether you've only made an account here while being an old time fan, or if you actually just found about Ross and decided to immediately start calling the shots, but, see, Ross himself isn't "neurodivergent". He's a mature, rational, level-headed adult with a degree in psychology.

    Oh, I just jumped ship when I saw SKGers not caring about game vending platforms (steam, epic etc...) dropping support for old OSs without allowing a way to download and play the games that don't require going through their platforms (like through the browser instead).
