There's defintely a few old OG Xbox titles that I would've loved to go back and play but now can't.
 
I always hope for the real big online games that they can somehow create the world instance to work in an offline mode before shutting off servers. It seems a waste to not be able to play a beautiful game just because it needed online servers. Take Destiny 1. One day, they will turn off servers but I hope that they can leave everything updated as a patch, just essentially not allow players to join online with each other, unless its local hosting for PvP which could work. Probably not worth the hassle or money....

Theres always been WhatsApp groups, Brede. I can't stop them. If you look back a few years ago, I tried to embrace everything for the sake of all. Discord, WhatsApp, FB and anything else you can think of.
 
We're likely nearing that cycle again of basically me tearing it all up and bringing it all back...but part of me after the last two times would just love it if people wouldn't be so lazy in life. I feel the pressure myself and I can't lie. If I'm not doing events, sending messages, thinking of ideas to get people to play games, no fucker does. Well, some do, but when they realise they get not much joy after a few times, they give up. I don't blame them - I suppose I'm the only one who's decided to do that for 10 years here.
 
I'm now nearly 40, so life does change and evolve. But I wanted FG to be FG for all, not FG that is a check in cos Lee asked them to. There is always ways to rejuvenate the place. But people have to WANT to do that. And before anyone asks, god I've tried multiple ways to get people involved, drafting ideas of different roles, changing forums around to accommodate stuff, etc. Nothing has stuck so far, otherwise it wouldn't just be me.
 
We all have the gift of sorting this out. And I'll still be me trying to find ways of doing that, but I also know that the ones that don't want to, won't want to until they fully have an epiphany and maybe if I say FG closes for good? Who knows. I just don't think a bold statement like that should ever be needed when I know there's 100 odd regular FGers that could be active and they don't. How many times do I have to say that if we were all active and took a tiny interest each day, then it would actually be the best place on the internet cos so many would be chipping in n loads of different stuff.
 
 
I suppose this thread was eventually going to tip me. I'm super conscious I haven't updated my PPR in months and I'm usually the one that says practice what you preach. I think I'm gonna give myself grace just this once for the past 10 years.
 
If you have some bright ideas, please shout up. Its always worth reading the whole of site info and announcements though first. You'll see about 4000 posts from me (no lie) about getting people together in lots of ways. Pick one and run with it. I love this god damn place. I just paid £150 for the software for the next year again and it wasn't even a thought of not doing that. ❤️🖤
 
 
 
Aww man, Brede. You made me go there 🥲. Now see what happens this weekend ffs 🤣 *rolls up sleeves ready for a war*

@Greboth I'm thinking of building a small server over the winter to host Minecraft on. Got any idea of specs for hosting modded MC for say six of us? I'd like to combine it with a media server if possible. Currently scouring YT

With today being National Tell A Joke Day i thought why not bring a laugh to everyones day and share your best, let's hear what you've got!!
 
Two muffins in an oven,
One says "bloody hell, it's hot in here!"
The other replies "Jesus christ! A talking muffin!"
 
Seen former chess grand master Gary Kasparov in the local cafe. Asked him to pass the salt. Took him 26 minutes!

In 2021 I didn't jog. In 2022 I didn't jog. In 2023 I didn't jog. In 2024 I still haven't jogged.
 
This is a running joke.

After last night's Carabao Cup game, we've scored 10 in 2 games. Unfortunately we've now reached out quota for goals in the entire 24/25 season so hoping for 37 no score draws to get us to 40 points 🤞

Oxford 2-0 Norwich! What a start to the Championship and Dave will be delighted😎
 

Could try..I’m a bit banged up with cellulitis at the moment which means computer time is limited 😐

Managed to get a spare few hours to play some Minecraft. I know the server isn’t really used much anymore but so do love to get on and do some aimless mining or cool building. 
 
This time I spent a good 4 and a half hours turning the hill our base is planted on into a cliff which looks pretty good, still got quite a bit of work left to do though. 
 
I’ve also changed the manors colour palette (again). Utilising the new Tuff Bricks which I think have a beautiful texture.
