RPGWatch was going to shut down - taken over by Taluntain instead!

[Pladio]

As the title says - RPGWatch will be closing down soon. I think many people here used to frequent the Watch and many have memories of the friendly kickstarter contests between both sites. So, thought some of you may be interested.

As long-time member but rarely poster of the Codex, I may be seeking refuge here. I'll mostly be lurking as I have done in the past, but you may see my face pop up once in a while to ask questions about games...

Anyway, here's the news below.

https://www.rpgwatch.com/forums/showthread.php?t=50134

For the last few years I've been thinking about what I want to do with RPGWatch. The reason for this is that I have lost all stamina with respect to RPGWatch. I found and find no enjoyment in the things I do here anymore and I find it a chore to continue doing them, so I end up not doing them anymore or only partially.

The interests I have in this phase of my life, simply do not match with what RPGWatch is anymore and I like to do other things that bring me more joy and fulfilment. RPGWatch has changed over the years, but so have I.

As mentioned, this is something I am feeling for quite some time and there isn't a particular reason why I am telling you my decision now and not in a couple of months or a year, besides that I think it is about time to let you know this and not drag this on much longer.

I have decided to stop RPGWatch. The option to fund RPGwatch via Paypal has already stopped and the funding we still have is sufficient to make us go on until the end of July, which would then also be the end date.

I've started with RPGDot in 2000 and created, together with the RPGDot team, RPGWatch in 2006. I have many fond memories of those 22 years. Also a couple of bad ones, but lets not dwell on those. Once RPGWatch is gone, I'm sure there will be days in the future where I will not only miss RPGWatch, but will miss especially the RPGWatch team and the people I like and liked to interact with on our forums.

Eventhough my feelings about RPGWatch are no longer the same, I am proud of everything we did and have accomplished in the past years and I really want to thank all of you for being with us.

I'm sorry for bringing this bad news to you.

great, now codex will get even more trannified than it already is

 

[Bigg Boss]

I was going to say you Watch guys can come visit NMA but keep your tranny shit the fuck away from our forum please.

 

[Ghulgothas]

Does the Codex take refugees?

There might need to be a re-education process. What are your thoughts on ELEX?

 

[ELEXmakesMeHard]

Oh, that outpost of feminist frequency. Alright, I guess they had it coming.

BUILD A WALL!

we probably have more trannies and fags over here tbh

When RPGWatch sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems.

 

[Kev Inkline]

Getting 'watch forwarded gets real.

 

[Crispy]

Why don't you stop by and share your thoughts or warm welcomes or whatever you feel like with them?

It's almost like we're losing a puppy.

 

[Crispy]

I see that a thread was already started about 40 minutes ago, so I merged.

EXCUSE ME.

 

[Crispy]

As a lurker of the Codex for over 10 years I highly doubt I will ever join.

Thanks for the offer though.

[Undead Phoenix]

And nothing of value will be lost.

[Crispy]

It's a long story, DUDE.

 

[Star Citizen]

It's a long story, DUDE.

aren't we a miserable pile of poop aight elex time

 

[mindx2]

RPGWatch...? Oh, that site that lost a gaming match on a worldwide stream to a Codexer with no hands....

Spoiler

 

[Late Bloomer]

Does that mean my join date can be a net positive for me when some stragglers eventually make their way here?

 

[Jenkem]

if you had any doubts about one of the people behind the trannification of the codex

 

[KörangarTheMighty]

Beware the RPGWatcher! His false smile hides an unknowable mind.

if you had any doubts about one of the people behind the trannification of the codex

WEF funding background check?

 

[I'm Big Into Anal]

i dont remember signing nor authorising that memo

 

[Ismaul]

No need to fear, they're more likely to go to Resetera than here. And if they choose the 'dex, they know what they're signing up for.

Frankly, RPGWatch was on the decline since its inception as a shadow of good old RPGdot. It only continued to fall with no impetus of its own. Too mild for the Codex and Resetera both. Surprised it lasted as long.

 

[Ontopoly]

HAHA we beat the fucks. Good job everyone. Get fucked cunt rpg watch fucks

You think DarkUnderlord has any more stamina left than his peer at RPGWatch? It's much more likely that we see Crispy becoming Administrator within the next year, you'll be begging for a simple trannification.
