What happened?

So what actually happened to the other forum? We've got new people, discussions about the land, a new sub-forum, a new group,etc. How did you guys end up here? Most new people in the least time ivI've ever seen here. Maybe one of you could tell me.

P.S. Paul, you can do ™ rather than (TM). Unless you meant something else.

 

The other forum was shut down /discontinued. They've been really cagey about giving real answers about why it was brought down, but according to them it was brought down and they have no current plans to reinstate it.

So for about a month the only option for discussion was Facebook, because we didn't know about this place. Also their current solution is a spoiler friendly face book chat, and his various different fan pages. It was awful.

 

I see. I figured it was gone. By the way, who exactly are "they"? The moderators? Ty & enjoy your stay.

 

Yeah the mod on his MVM page, and then I also tried messaging him and received this standard copy paste answer. And by standard copy paste I mean after asking three times in different places I got the same answer where they plug the spoiler friendly chat with the smiley face.

Like I get it.... but really? A fb chat as a replacement for a forum site? Get f**king real

Also thanks, happy to be here

“Just a website builder,” Allen noted. “I really liked the forum you built.”
“Thanks. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery,” Saul shot back.

I remember coming here in July of that year. Though I don't think I posted. There was a good thread about what people like and hate about the series. Good stuff.

For our forum, Aleron might have actually started reading some our stuff again (used to comment infrequently on the Amazon forum) on his forum, which he hadn't done for years. There was a fair amount of Kong bashing one could say. But I think he didn't want to pay for it anymore. I suppose we weren't the followers he wanted? We didn't even get a chance to comment about book 8.

 

Well Aleron has a whole team of fpææpwers, many of them acting as moderators on the various fan pages. They are also his inner circle that he apparently is quite open with about his opinions of various things, some of the things posted there are quite unkind according to one leak i've seen. Not that it matters, as long as he keeps that stuff private and releases the books I don't care that much.

 

I don't recall us/the forum being really all that critical. The Lions share of it was what it was supposed to be. Discussion, debate, and prediction. Sure we caught errors but instead of being mad why not just hire better beta writers? Personally I always thought he could have made his job easier just asking the top 10 from the forum to beta(we would have done it happily and for free) and heck I know I would not have minded him using any of the ideas there. Seems to me that shutting down the forum around the time of the new book release was his way of shutting down backlash and that he knew it was going to be perceived as his worst effort to date.

 

Yup, spinoff /alternate series was supposed to release last month (God's Eye)
Haven't heard any updates either.

Anywho which of your books should I start with?

 

So paul is snow punk the same book as core punk? Just renamed and rereleased?
