What's the health of the community?
It's a long running community, you have to admit.
How long have you been here?
Do you think there's still a considerate amount of new people playing and signing up for the forums?

I don't know how large "considerate" would be but I think the population is at the very least stableA3STH3T1CS wrote:Do you think there's still a considerate amount of new people playing?

edit: like, let me stress this, I think most players actively avoid the forums, let alone sign up for them

I dunno, man. I've had this awful cough over the last few nights and my throat hurts. I can't imagine anyone else is doing much better than me, though. Season changes kick my ass.

Re: What's the health of the community?
normally i'd agree but the consensus I (used to) get from people was "EW the forums, fuck off" even if you posted a link or somethingCosmicScientist wrote:"There's a game to play, who cares about the steam forums/real forums/subreddit!" ~ everyone everQbopper wrote:edit: like, let me stress this, I think most players inactively avoid the forums, let alone sign up for them
I don't know about digg/etc. but a lot of people will refuse to use the forums for anything more than ban appeals because ???

Re: What's the health of the community?
Like, six or seven years. I don't know exactly when I signed up, but I was addicted in university and that was 2011.
It's been better. We're getting an influx of people, and a lot of them get right into it, but we're getting to the point where OOC terms are being openly used IC, people are giving themselves internet handles as IC names and IC in OOC happens every hour, or so it feels. As for the forums, can you see an influx in new blood here? It all needs to be directed, I suppose.

Re: What's the health of the community?
I started seriously trying to learn the game back in late 2011 and before that, dicked around on pinkustation spawning c4. I still remember coming in as a captain on pinku really chuffed with this gold id card that let me in everywhere until two people somehow made me unable to do anything. They dragged me over to what I now know is a rune and tried to convert me but couldn't since I started with an implant. I thought that was it but they let me go.
It's nearly been a decade now. For a community to live that long is pretty damn good. There was a paper once I can't remember but it said internet communities can stabilize instead of going through the cycles before dying if they do certain things. It'd be nice if /tg/ could do that but if it died I wouldn't really be sad, it's had a great run. I'd be a bit sad about the effort put into the codebase but SS13 is robust, almost like a creature going through all the evolutionary pathways to find a peak way to exist. If tgSS13 died there's still other offshoots of SS13 that'll go on.

Re: What's the health of the community?
I'd say the "community" has "died" several times over. That's the testament to the game's life, though. We've had the playerbase almost completely cycle out several times and yet some of us still remain half a decade later and plenty of new faces constantly come in.
It's admittedly a bit melancholy to think about all the old lads from when I started playing, the server 2 superfriends (or horrendous metagangs depending on who you talk to), the insane shadow politics adminbus, all the players that were once iconic and are now literal whos, because that /tg/station is dead and gone and never coming back.
At the same time, it makes me happy that the game lives on and /tg/station itself lives on with it, and that those few remnants from the past uphold my old memories. I don't think the server is at any risk of dying out any time soon. /tg/station has been through hell and back and still stands on its own two feet.
I guess that sounds kind of stupid and gay but i've spent a quarter of my life on this game so I sometimes feel at least a little sentimental about it.

Late 2012, Lurked forums in 2014. Made an account in '14, it was deleted when the community had to refresh it's forums.
