So, it's been a while since i joined here but everything seems quite and dull (like the pav) and the other sprite community i joined is dying too. Why am i always late in joining this community?! I could've join this when it was at its peak of popularity.

All I'm saying here (like everyone back at the pav-which is being updated right now) i wanna revive the once bustling vity of creativity and joy. Why? Cause there is one thing every community has that social media doesn't, and that's family.

This site has been a dead husk for awhile, and the Pav keeps trying to go on.

Unfortunately I think you are too late. These forums were amazing like 15 or so years ago, but all the fresh faced newcomers have now grown up and don't have time to do RPG Maker stuff. You might be better off going to the PC makers, which have a few very active forums, like the official forums at rpgmakerweb.

I have a game I started working on years ago and haven't finished yet. And I have ideas for more games for RPG Maker 3. Spent three years mostly doing Youtube vids. And man, this year has been an emotional roller coaster ride for me in so many ways. My head is still spinning from everything I've endured.

I still want to finish that game and make more. I know it will be too late at this point. But it's on my "To do" list of backlogged stuff.

Yeah, sorry man. The fact is that the time when there were dedicated fansites for one thing are largely done for.

There's reddit where they have hundreds of thousands of insta-communities with a built-in userbase that easily trumps what a few people can code.

There's also way more social media stuff than there was before. Why use a forum when you can text, instagram, facebook, etc?

Plus with something like Discord, communities of people can create servers and talk instantly all the time, as well as voice chat. Things have just changed, really.
