Introducing the forum!
Posted: Tue Aug 06, 2024 1:02 am
Recently I've been feeling nostalgic for old-school forums so I thought I would set one up both as a "indie web" style hangout and as a place to post about and get info about Mirror Slug's games and other projects.
I think this forum is going to supplant the Mirror Slug discord. I think discord is counterproductive to certain types of communities, like this one, as it makes things way more insular and walled-off. God knows I have a graveyard of discord servers I've joined just to download the one file or whatever they're keeping, and finding reliable information to troubleshoot on them is a nightmare. Forums seem more relaxed and easier to parse or engage with.
Thus, the forum is born!
