Chatting Area! Have fun!

I’m Starting a new segment on here soon that I will call “Makecoder’s in the wild” (Some of you will already know it)

Sad to see a user leave with my own eyes :smiling_face_with_tear:. Other than that, things are looking fine.

You know this reminds me of when I first joined. When I first joined, almost two years ago, the forums was dying or at least the topic of the forum dying was flying around. Now this topic reemerged and the only thing that is different is that many users that joined during that time, like me, aren’t new anymore. I’m probably not gonna leave yet but who knows where the road will take me.

Just having fun here is not a problem :enraged_face:
You can enjoy talking to users, making memes, and sharing random things (In the correct topics)! Don’t worry about what some MakeCoders who have left have said; this doesn’t have to be a game factory where nobody ever goes off-topic or talks about anything other than code.
WE LIKE HAVING YOU HERE!! :enraged_face: (/pos, agressive compliments :heart: )

I wholeheartedly second this-- I got into Hackclub because of Jedi, and have absolutely loved it!! :partying_face: They have a very supportive and curious community, just like here on the forums. Among the prizes (Like the 3D printer which I’m also working towards), you can also get tickets to their in-person hackathons and game jams, with travel and hotel stays covered :slight_smile: Very fun and accessible!! :sparkling_heart:

… The what?
I like to respond to all the new topics every week or so, and November has been FLOODED with all sorts of new games and users.
I think whether or not someone thinks the forum is ‘dying’ is very much based on their perspective!

We could tell. The pixels aren’t all the same size, and they aren’t square either. Maybe @CopySprite can make you a better one!

Honestly, I don’t really share my thoughts on anything, so I’ll guess I share my thoughts on the whole the forum is dying thing. Sorry if I ramble on, I’m not good at speaking.

I remember the post “the forum is dying, why?” post and looking back on it, it seems like the things people wanted (like more users coming into the forums) they regret it now. A while ago, some new users came flooding in. Eventually the people said the “forums are dying” isn’t a thing anymore and that we’re fine again.

A month or two later and we’re back where we started with the “forum is dying” again. Honestly, I feel like people are just having fun. Many people want to forums to be code and code only and I don’t really agree with that, but I respect their opinions. But I don’t get it why people are confused that the Chatting Area is being used as a Chatting Area, or that people are posting memes on MakeCode Memes. It’s called the MakeCode forums for a reason. It’s not just code, it’s actual discussion.

However, I do think people are correct when they say that people are posting random memes when they don’t belong in that area, going off topic, etc. But there’s more to it. People are leaving, sometimes temporarily, because of life, changing game engines, or simply growing out of MakeCode. So, while I don’t think the forums are dying, I don’t think they’re thriving either.

I hope MakeCode keeps living on. As for me, I’m not leaving, mainly because I don’t many places to go.

I changed my PFP. I was messing around with shapes when I got him. He’s probably one of the dorkiest creatures in the world and his name is Murphy. Tell me what you think.

  • We <3 Murphy!
  • Murphy needs some work.
  • Go back to the old PFP, please.
