What are these "bommers" you speak of? They sound terrifying.
The forum looks 2000s in appearance. I think some sort of visual overhaul would probably help in regard to this question. Maybe an official app too.
Push politics and race talks back out of the gaming section. This includes whenever a random developer or PR person complains about either topic(then it's posted here), and whenever someone brings up that a certain company may have helped consult on a game. It would all be better off gone so that we can go back to discussing gaming for gaming's sake.
This will force certain OPs to find other topics to clickbait with and will cause posters to find better topics to converse about, because as of now there are literally games that people can't really post topics about without a very vocal side of this forum taking a giant dump on every thread to vent about one company or 'movement'. It makes things feel pointless when you just want to discuss a game without the added political/drama baggage.
It's a slippery slope too because as of now, too many people are giving way too many out of left field posts because they keep testing the waters(and testing the mods and their conviction about not being the purple site) to see what they can get away with in terms of extreme edgy-posting. I've said it before but I don't see this place at it's best by just settling into the extreme opposite viewpoints of another site like some sort of checklist to prove 'we aren't those guys'. There are already more rule-free sites out there that do this and do it well, and I think a reasonable middle ground could be reached here so that we don't just become a lite version those sites with added avatars.
Which games get attacked like the ones you mentioned?
Here is a thread that was recently derailed:Can you name a couple ? i am curious.
Most of the posts have been removed by now, but here are a couple of threads that still contain that edginess:Also do you have some examples of these edge posts. I am curious to see what you are seeing.
Forget forums, the industry itself will probably be very different in another 10-15yrs.
Glad I was around for all the good shit like magazines, arcades, and booth babes.
yea, my studio is using it, i told them to use WhatsApp's if they need me. I dunno, the UI didn't click in meI never understood the phenomena of discord. The chat goes too fast in popular places, there’s no traceability of a discussion possible. It’s like intertwining all our first page posts but at any time they happen and without the topic.
It’s messy
we can short it into BooZerBommers and zommers lol

Feel free to browse through them and check out what I mean. Also, there is no need to come back to this thread to try and 'defend' the two threads I've linked, because I'm not 'attacking' this website. I'm simply showing that it is what it is and I simply find it to be detrimental at times.
We can lure them here with candy.

How true even is it that traditional console gaming is becoming less popular? I know loads of people in their early and mid 20s who play proper games on a console or PC. I'd actually say they're much more likely to do so than my peers were like 15 years ago. It's certainly WAAAAY more socially acceptable and even cool now.
At the very least there's another generation of hardcore gamers beyond the likes of us in our 30s and 40s.
We didn't care when gaming was a niche, boys-only toy. I don't see why we would care now.
Always the answerThere is only one true answer: titties. Obviously.

Disagree. I am very happy with the look and format of the forum. I hope it never changes. At some point i got fucking tired of every site and app trying the same kind of Californian hipster UI/UX. GAF does indeed have an early 2000s feel to it and i love it. Back then, websites were no-nonsense, filled with info. Not the SEO-driven garbage they are today.The forum looks 2000s in appearance.

That i would like.Maybe an official app too.
Agreed on this too.Push politics and race talks back out of the gaming section. It would all be better off gone so that we can go back to discussing gaming for gaming's sake.
Can you name a couple ? i am curious.There are already more rule-free sites out there that do this and do it well
Theres gotta be a usenet server still running somewhere, right?If Zoomers start to take this place over, I'm gonna look for a BBS. Question is whether Boomers would let me in, tho.
I'd honestly love to be involved with a Usenet server if even a handful of people were active on it.Theres gotta be a usenet server still running somewhere, right?
I would be surprised if there isn't.Theres gotta be a usenet server still running somewhere, right?
Fifteen years ago we had Wii, PS3, and Xbox. Three very healthy console platforms, along with Sony and Nintendo handhelds.
Now we’ve got PS5 and Switch, with Xbox practically in the grave.
Sure it’s more socially acceptable. But the console market hasn’t grown for generations now. Mobile has taken over as the top platform.
The most played games on consoles are games like Fortnite and Roblox. The industry is changing, and newer players aren’t going for the same games the older crowd preferred.
There are only two main gaming classical forums, NeoGAF and ResetEra. And both forums are very divided and have an aging demographic.
