If that's how you feel, then that is how you feel, but your feelings are not facts. Plus, I really don't care how you feel. Either the facts that I presented were good enough for you, or they weren't. However, pretending their were never presented at all just shows that you did not enter this discussion in good faith.
You absolutely are. Doing something then saying you didn't do it doesn't change the facts.
You've not directly addressed any of the points I brought up. Instead you are simply stating that I offered no evidence for my claims (a false assertion, BTW) in a desperate attempt to discredit me and my claims, while also trying to make FP look better by proxy.
And yes, I know you will try to deny this with your next post, but again, the facts don't change. You accuse me of providing no evidence, but you never even directly mention a single one of my actual points. Why? You don't want to bump them to the active page, and you are afraid that I will link back to where I did provide evidence for said points. Remember, right near the start of this thread, FurryPile tried the same tactic when he accused me of not providing context, and I immediately brought out the receipts.
You are correct. Feelings are not fact. Neither are yours. What's your point?
Asking you to prove your claims is not defending anything. May as well say you're defending an alleged criminal if you wanted evidence of a crime. That is not how any of this works. Repeating yourself is not going to convince anyone.
Lets see, where to start..
"No, I think a few of you are using your main accounts too, but you are also mixing in newly made alts to make it seem more popular than it really is."
^You thinking a few are using their main accounts on top of alts is not evidence. That is you thinking, at best a possibility spoken out loud. This is not evidence. A possibility of something being factual in and of itself is not fact.
"Sure, you didn't. At least you were honest enough to admit that you came here from there (proving my point)."
^ Apparently coming from a different forum to simply promote it because they heard this one was going read-only soon and eventually shut down is proving your point of this whole thing being sus somehow? You thinking something is sus isn't evidence, that's you speaking your thoughts out loud.
I mean, I can go on if you want me to. You are making claims, some of them indirectly, about FP and/or the people running it or for that matter people who are simply members there. Some Sergal came from there by his own words. I am not dismissing your potential suspicion, but claims made require actual evidence, not repeating oneself ad nauseam while coming off as you're stomping your feet "I am right, I am right, I am right".
I find it weird for an account that's been dead for 10 years to suddenly pop up and start shit. Maybe you have actual beef with FP's owner/admin staff, I don't know. Would be interesting to actually know to be honest with you, of which is taken into consideration by the way. In the case you do have evidence I am always open to taking a look at it, and my DM's are open. Can find me on the main site as well by the same name if you have an account there.
Does it suck that the forum is going to be eventually deleted? Sure as hell does.
Is it convenient for FP to suddenly pop up now that FAF is going the way of the dodo? Yes, it is.
What is the chance of it being a scam, FP's owner doing this out of ego, whatever? Don't know. Seems excruciatingly low for me, and so does it for a lot of other people who have decided to join too.
Was FP's activity low before we joined? Looking at the stats it sure as hell was.
Is it convenient and even positive for FP to get an influx of new members who prefer forums as a form of communication(and possibly can't use other platforms)? It is very convenient and positive.
Is there room for it to be suspicious? Yes to that too.
Though so far I am unfortunately seeing only claims made, and in a snarky manner. No actual proof to back the claims up. Kinda sucks for your part as I want to believe you have anything of actual substance to back your words up with but you're just refusing to show for some reason.
Anyways. Didn't want to spend my last couple of hours coming off as negative, so I will stop there. May all of you have a wonderful 2023 and a Happy New Year.
