idk, never really used forum games
hmm, any particular reason that kept you from any interest in visitng? or is it moreso that you never felt there was a reason to visit?
i actually sort of wonder about this, i'm curious what it is that distinguishes between people that visit forum games and those that never really interact there long-term
maybe more accurately, i wonder why i'm there all the time when others seem fairly content to stick to off-topic, i don't know what it is that attracts me to these places
I don't really care much about it, whenever I'm in OT I mainly like to do stuff like talking and posting my thoughts or whatever, forum games doesn't really offer me that, so for me there is no point
mmn, i've always considered forum games to be some kind of "safer" extension of this, it always seemed possible to use a lot of forum games as vehicles for self-expression and whatever thoughts you would happen to have
notably, the "^ < > v" game and "your thoughts on the user above you" and "ask the user below you any question", as well as "post the time and what you're thinking" or my favorite at the time being "rate the music of the user above's post", and i would often find that "thread necromancy" was easy enough to dump any kind of thought into because you could truly post anything the forum rules allow with no subject/topic to focus on
off-topic by comparison had always seemed a little more complicated for me, and i haven't really understood why, i think i just was more anxious here than in fg for most of the time, so i would near-exclusively frequent fg
maybe that's just how i seem to want to use it, because of how it was when i was there 3-6 years ago
but unfortunately it just feels so much emptier and less meaningful now
