UESP Forums

ZeRoc! My mate! Hows it cracking for ya

Ya, that nostalgia trip be hitting hard every time.

Some of the gang is still around over on the Discord. The RP crowd also got its own server even if it doesnt see so much RPing

Yeah man it is a shame. I think there so much to be discussed about TES even beyond the games as well but it doesn't gain a lot of traction. Although mainly a lurker I did enjoy the more lore orientated topics that would pop up or when we were all debating the next DLC for Skyrim. I`m sad to admit I just don't feel that excitement for TESVI, if anything its been replaced with anxiousness

The IRC was both amazing, and the worst possible idea ever.

I loved it.

The nostalgia brings me back now and then also, but there's only about 4 new posts to read, so my holidays-in-the-past never last very long.

I'm just sad because I didn't even know IRC existed when I first joined the forums. I don't even know if people still used it then tbh, but if they did it's tragic to think I missed out. Even just for clout's sake, sksksk.

If I recall, IRC chat even by that time either had its niche following, or basically was treated the same way we treat Discord VC chats

Which made sense, bc the IRC was very reliant on having other people join in and even then the chatroom wasnt the best(you couldnt see older posts prior to you joining the chat).

Of all the times I used it, it was either reliably active.. or it was bc a group of us decided to go there

Yup.

Mmhm

So you ride yourselves over the fields
And you make all your animal deals
And your wise men don't know how it feels


Hat, Taters, other old friends who names are lost to me, where you at?

The place is real quiet nowadays, sadly. I myself haven't really posted in two years, save for this instance of course. Wouldn't even be on right now if I weren't going over some old stuff from Tamrielic Adventures for nostalgia's sake.

It's kinda the nature of the centralization of the internet that we're moving away from dedicated forums to partitions of popular services like Discord. While I adore Discord, part of me is really sad that forums are pretty out-of-fashion nowadays. There was something really special about them, and this place in particular.

There's always the chance for TESVI releasing sometime in the next decade to revitalize the place, but I doubt it. ESO didn't do much to bring life back (I'd go as far as to say that ESO damaged the forum's activity, but that's me being a curmudgeon more than anything), and I wouldn't expect the next game to do the same when discords and other forms of chatting are available.

Anyone interested in making a Knights of the Nine music video with Sabaton's Last Stand?

Are these forums dead?

I see 10 threads of spam lol.


FALL TO YOUR KNEES AND REPENT IF YOU PLEASE!

My bad been busy irl but another mod has it covered

I have and always will, own this thread.

Not unless someone decides to do a little

Your all good Rose

If we are dunking on people, my vertical is nigh untouchable.

I greatly imagine these boards are being held together by sheer willpower of the old crowd, and the ever so slight influx of newbies before they get directed to the Discord. I never got the hang of Discord, and likely never will. Maybe I'll pop in, but it's unlikely I'll know anyone there, so eh. I'm old enough to remember when AIM became a thing, and even then I never liked chat rooms much. I'm practically a dinosaur with technology like this.

But there was a time when the UESP forums were my internet home. And like any old house, you gotta drive by occasionally and say hi to the new owners and catch up with the old neighbors.

The old RP group still has their own discord server. Not everyone is always active, but everyone tries to keep up

And the uesp official server still has some veterans like Alarra, Fiar, Velvet n a few others(some of em are staff too). If ya do ever pop by, @me or another staff bc we can unlock some of your perms so ya dont have to wait on leveling up
(Would be nice tho if there was a channel just for the Forum OGs but thats kinda what we did with the RP server)
