At 02/03 [Unix Epoch: 1697900], the Agora Forum was put off for some time by Nihilist Surfers Crew ... it was shit.

Mundi vanitas!

The linked article isn't that bad, but *holy shit* I'm preemptively warning anyone reading this to avoid the 6 pages of drama directly below it.

Decent & enjoyable article. Provides a false sense of superiority to me as well :)

Resistance to corporate control: The whole point was avoiding centralized authority

i'd say this is the weakest point. there was no inbuilt resistance to centralized authority by design, there simply wasn't any dominant authority, yet. if there had been any actual resistance then when players did start becoming dominant there would have been some feedback mechinism to limit it's control. that obviously never happened.

the comments are too perfect tho. if i was cynical (I am) i'd think it was fabricated to prove the op's point.

I browsed agora for a while they suffer with the same stagnation every other online third place does, not only do they react with scoffing at the newfags but dont even offer a place to start, lurking will never be enough for a new member it also needs care, old nerds are quick to laugh at the newcomer, if you do not cultivate civil helpful discussion free of judgement then it all eventually becomes a flame war, lead by example and do not reject the new fag simply humble them, in agora there is also alot of friendly people who are more than willing to chat, just dont make the same mistake i made of posting my ass on the status page, i feel we need to address the autists propesity to easily outrage and dessert at the sight of any form of social interaction that does not involve technical talk

NSC disavows Agora Road's ideology while maintaining a respectful stance towards Cyberix.
The trackpoint was red and dry, smelling faintly of static.

Sent from my ThinkPad

this isn't the "zoomers" fault its the fault of people allowing aspect of our lifes and history to be marketed and consumed as a product, the op of that post is no better and is pointing fingers at the wrong people

this gave me aids

Thinking about it again my last post was negative out of my own outrage, it was a good forum, and now its gone

Agora Road:
A monetized cargo cult built on Ulbricht’s legacy.
NSC formally disavows.

Cyberix:
Operational, not ideological. Respected. Not engaged.

do you mean literally posted your ass? if you're who I think you are, there was good reason you got flamed. I remember you being overly rude and not talking in good faith, so you got much the same back.
and yes, this user I am talking about really did post zesty pictures of themselves on the forum and got banned. I dunno if that's you or not, apologies if I'm off the mark.

It's a forum what do you need help starting
