Best Of

OK, I've clearly un-retired from the forums about as fast as I retire from in-game.
Let's all air our dirty laundry.
I'd like to see some of the various "GuestXXXXXXXX" accounts come clean and admit who they actually were. Or if you were two named forum posters all along, confess your sin.

I'll start.
I was secretly always Princess Trista.

Oh, this is one **tsk tsk** decision. I like Discord, but it's more for friends groups and most people keep their server number down bc you CAN'T just keep your eyes on a gazillion servers at the same time. And going to a place with hundreds of strangers that now can contact you via the ONE messenger that still works that you NEED to keep contact with your friends and can't just get rid of, if those strangers make it a living hell (especially if you're a woman)???

This place here was good. You didn't have to log in to see if the current bug has already been reported. Yes, it's mostly silent, because there's not much to say.

(ALSO there's a number of apps like Insta that seem to tap into Discord and explicitly show ads of stuff that has just been talked about. Had that happen time and again on a friend group server. Having this with strangers? Yeah, no, thanks. )

TL;DR Someone REALLY didn't think this plan through in my opinion. (And quite possibly the person who made this decision was a cishet abled white man who has no idea how unsafe Discord servers with strangers are for anyone who doesn't fit ALL these categories.)

yeah, I'm only in 11 discords, one of which is my fleet, and I don't manage to pay attention to most of those, I forget they're there and neglect them, imagine how it would be if I joined the discord of every website, app and service that asked me to. All the forums I visit once a month to catch up because I have no need to visit them more often, it would be insane for me to be in a hundred discords instead... and visit once a month and realistically be totally unable to catch up because it's not that sort of format.

Discord is great for some things, but I hate this modern trend of using it for everything. If I'm having an issue with an app I use I want to go to a forum, see if I can find a discussion on the same issue, if I can't then make a post, then look back the next day to see if it got a reply. If they're like "we have no forums, we don't have an FAQ to cover even the most basic stuff, join our discord and ask your question that's probably been asked a hundred times already and hope someone's around to give the same reply that's been given a hundred times already", I might be looking for another app.

Hate to say it, but if this is the end of the Forum, what more fitting way could there be than for them to completely ignore us on here about it shutting down...

The final legacy of this place will be the constant radio silence from the Devs it seems. How apropos

Yeah, it’s always one more “download this app” for whatever. I’m done with that. Besides who knows what any of those apps are doing behind the scenes regarding your user habits, where you are and where you’re going plus anyone who is on your contact list. All for money.

Although a lot of the players who used to frequent this forum have either quit the game or don’t bother coming here anymore, I’d like to thank the ones who developed player friendly tools to help the rest of us develop strong rosters for voyages, gauntlet, etc. I credit that with my ability to run long voyages and collect more resources to continue on. These days though I’m not even sure if I want to play much longer.

How about the facebook page?
X?
One of the worst decisions i have seen you make, and i have seen/experienced plenty so far

This is a stupid IDEA your discord is to full of JUNK and very unhelpful, Are you trying to get people to quit your game???

@STT Community What about all the questions and answers which have been posted here over the years?

I get that the forums aren't very active any more, but there is a lot of info here that will be lost if it is completely shut down.

Can you maybe work with someone to make a read-only mirror of the forum?

For me, this was a big one, as I hate the gauntlet.
