Any of the old guard still around? D:

[Minos]

Yoo! I hadn't browsed Mapcore in a long time and missed my old friends! Came back here and the latest posts are like from a year ago or more  Are any of the old guard still around? Hope you're all doing great, give a sign of life!

Cheers

The forum is basically dead. They are all on discord.

I can't cope with Discord, you have to be wired in every day in a community to make sense of it.
I don't see how a community like this works better there but whatevs.
I logged in only to check some old pm for a contact

PS: nice new forum skin btw

Yeah, it's two different things. Discord is like IRC back in the day, good for quick banter, but with a forum you can build a wealth of knowledge that can be stored and accessed over time. Things in Discord are pretty "disposable", and the different conversations just merge into one another. It's really hard to follow any conversations if the server grows over a few dozen people  It has its uses, but in no way it can replace a forum. Also do recruiters even hang out in Discord to find talent? It's much easier to expose your work on a forum. With time people will realize this and come back.

I will make an effort to log in more often here, would hate to see the forum that we've had for 25 years or so just die a silent death!

Speaking about that... when was Mapcore founded? Did we miss a chance to celebrate the 25th anniversary? That's a quarter of a century....

I'm pretty sure the only place recruiters hang out is linkedin lol

Same as Minos said for my part. 
It's very hard for me to follow everything on Discord...lol, not hard but quite impossible. 
And because of that, I never (or very very rarely) post something there as it will be quickly lost in the multiple exchanges and conversations living there. 
Perhaps it's something that, we, as "older", feel more than the younger ones among us.

It’s kind of sad that everyone has moved to Discord and the forum is almost abandoned… but I guess that’s the price of progress. I came here hoping to find an active community.
