It looks like these forums are dead, or at least dying.  Just curious who's even still here, so comment below about how often you typically check in.

    I usually drop in check for updates about every couple weeks.
  • LurisauriLurisauri
    Once or twice a week
  • SpellPiper2213SpellPiper2213
    I swing by once a week or so
  • LvBLvB
    Every two days and at the weekend daily.
  • Mellow_MCMellow_MC
    my checks have fallen to weekly
  • Mellow_MCMellow_MC
    I am also sick
  • TenebrisNemoTenebrisNemo
    Couple times a week, recording stories from Tournaments in case the forums do actually vanish like the new admins hinted.
  • Mellow_MCMellow_MC
    @TenebrisNemo wait they actually said they were gonna delete the forums?
  • kaoz42kaoz42
    I usually try to swing by once or twice a week. My activity has gone down as the forum has started dying.

    @TenebrisNemo Wait what?!

    I check in a couple of times per week. Just in case there’s ever a revival, or if it’s finally dead. They did say they would kill it, and with no link from the main site it’s inevitably going to be discontinued. That is, if things stay the way they are now.

    I'd check once week, if not daily.

    Problem is they removed the link from the site... in favor of Discord.
    Discord doesn't have the same feel that the forums has. None of the history, it's just a... place.

    @Mellow_MC This one?

    We've also hit 8 likes!
  • CorwinnnCorwinnn
    WooHoo!
  • CorwinnnCorwinnn
    I have not checked in for quite a while, but I'll try to do so every few days!

    Hey, follow up question, for everyone still hanging out here from time to time:

    What sort of things in the forum really get you excited?  Is it contests, getting feedback about cards, finding inspiration for your next design?  I'd hate to send new members over to the forums and then not have anything interesting for them to experience once they're here.
  • LurisauriLurisauri
    For me were contests and general chatting about MTG. I really liked the experiment from jpastor
  • JadefireJadefire
    I like the contests, but the opportunity to do something is meaningless without the people to engage with it.  The contests were also a chance to help other cardsmiths improve their skills, provided they're judged on objective criteria instead of nebulous personal preferences.
  • Mellow_MCMellow_MC
    I enjoyed the sagas and the opportunity to create a whole world and story with other people. But as @Jadefire mentioned its not worth it to continue writing these stories if there's no one there to participate in therm.

    If you shrink your mtg cardsmith window on your computer until the 3 bars appear... FORUMS is listed above Discord!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Did you know that if you ask for a mystery box and include the 🌱 seedling emoji in your request, or simply ask for a Community Chest, that you will receive community-supportive content in your mystery box?  
  • Mellow_MCMellow_MC
    Wait the forums are there?
  • Mellow_MCMellow_MC
    Why are they so out of the way.
  • jpastorjpastor
    yeah just scrunch your window to half the width of your screen and boom - everything is there.
  • jpastorjpastor
    I DMd the main man in charge to see if he'll be willing to re-add the forums link to the main menu bar.
  • JadefireJadefire
    Nice, the site is moving in the right direction again.
  • RanshiRanshi
    I wouldn't be so hasty to say it's moving in the right direction. The owner is still a monopolistic AI tech bro who thinks AI art is ethical, and banned me from the official discord for speaking opposition to that. 

    Until he passes the ownership to someone else, I will be hesitant to say the site is in a good place, to say the least.
  • Mellow_MCMellow_MC
    @Ranshi I agree.
