Out of Pod Experience

15º C is hot enough for a t-shirt.

I can be absolutely sure that it is not me who causes this thread to be so ..... slow.

Although, actually, it might be me. Attempting not to influence something still influences something,
because in any other case influence would have been there which obviously would alter the outcome.


Fascinating!


The most interesting, right now, is that inevitably someone will read this message
and that the decision to respond has already been made even before the person started reading the message.

Unless that person is indecisive about responding, of course.


*sips orange juice*

forums are slow for some time, something like half a year of slightly less, but near that timespan.

Nonetheless, people are still posting the same threads over and over again.

If we just change this one tiny thing ...
... suicide ganking will finally be balanced !

I can kick you in the balls if that's what you desire! :D

Hello ... :)
... and Good Night, I need sleep! (:

Hello LAGL,

Hope everyone is doing good.

Rarely does a re-make ever equal to or surpass an original.

Anyway, it's not just this thread, all of the sub-forums are much slower now compared to how these forums were in the past. I know people don't like hearing this but it could be a symptom of reduced player subscriptions and or reduced player log in's.

Either that or most everybody now post's on Reddit and we're just the last of the Mohicans.

Reddit, Slack and Twitter.

I think overall there's much more discussion about Eve than there used to be. It's just occurring on more social platforms than in the past.

All 4 are good, but the others have some advantages over the forums.

I came here to drink milk and post.

And I've just finished my milk.

Never liked Reddit. Ugly and non-inspiring in it's design, hard to follow sometimes with comments on comments on posts with up/down voting gone wild. No imagery and just... bleh. It seems to be the meta for today's generation though. Good platform for 'discussions' though I've yet to see anything productive, more just entertainment for those who enjoy trash talking or controversy.

I never browse it. Though I did make an acc this year purely to comment on Iso5 related stuff.

Twitter is Twitter as always. Celebrity news, what people had for dinner, etc. Never felt like it fits the genre of a thing like EVE or any game/fictional setting. I can see it's use for Dev personal announcements or antics in the office between staffers but not really a great 'social' platform or something to use for discussions.

Don't have an account. Can't ever see the need to get one.

Slack is great, for social interaction. Useless in terms of showcasing anything or releasing news as it's real-time. Thus it's discussion value is also limited, if you're not active on it while the discussion is hot then you've missed out and will have to read through hundreds of posts just to see what was even said.

I use Iso5 slack heavily and love it for corp level social stuff. Don't use tweetfleet.

So overall you really can't beat the value and potential of a good old standard forum platform like we have here IMO in terms of discussions and news. It's a shame it's underused in some facets, and the way it's arranged and restricted makes it hard to use as a purely social tool. The best social options being right here in OOPE really.
