We soft launched the Johto Times forum a week ago, and so far we have 55 users who have made over 400 posts. It's early days, but the conversations I have seen across the forum is reflecting what I wanted: a nice close-knit community!

But a forum is a hard sell to people in the social media age!

I do want to mention that we have had a lot of users come from Mastodon, which is nice to see. You have all been very supportive of Johto Times, and were very vocal about supporting forums.

You have proven the effort setting up the forum was worth it so far! Thank you :)

If you're hankering after old-style forums, you might want to check out @nodebb which is now Fediverse compatible.

It means you can have the old style forum atmosphere, but also the modern style connections to a wider audience (but that part is optional of course 🙂 ).

Evening Mastodon! Before I turn in for the night, I wanted your opinion on something!

Forums

What makes a good community forum, what keeps people coming back? Why did so many of them die? What made the conversation dry up?

I have been reflecting on the history of old Pokémon fan communities, and why they eventually failed.

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts!

That is the latest from their I2P implementation.

Re timing of the attack: its likely a response to being integrated into the #bitcoin network. First a #botFarm attack on #dotCon-based #messageBoards in an attemp to have I2Ps page banned. Then other network attacks followed, now zzz and their site is completely disappeared.

While #I2Pd exists and is a good, its targetted to the power user and lacks a native #torrenting client. Though, the last thing zzz did was release a standalone.

“There’s going to be some equivalent of link rot with NFTs and with some of these online communities. They’re going to break apart. They’re not going to be necessarily sustainable or haven’t proven themselves sustainable over the long haul, whereas the Dave Matthews Band message board that my college roommate used to post on is probably still around.”
