Re: Goodbye Ingress forums
The Internet is an amazing way to connect to people. But I think they don't want the interaction as much as they want to just tell us things. Reddit as a forum is less censored and will become a snowball of derision. I wouldn't have suggested it as a replacement.
Re: Goodbye Ingress forums
Well, if you never respond to posts or interact with the community...it won't work. Not sure why it wasn't someone's first 15-30 minutes of their day to check the forums and actually respond to posts other than a few bug threads.
Re: Goodbye Ingress forums
Well I came back for one last post.
Reddit is an awful platform and I outright refuse to use X with Elon at the helm.
Telegram is my primary communication method and likely to remain so.
Given Niantic have not interacted with us on here, in like forever, I'm not that sad to see it go. What saddens me is it's obvious Niantic has no intention to increase player interaction.
We've actually been getting new players lately, the anomalies have been great and shard night was awesome.
Big thanks to the XM Ambassadors sticking around as well.
So long and thanks for all the fish.
Re: Goodbye Ingress forums
Which is the oddest thing.
EDIT: To prevent any additional confusion on here
Re: Why no Niantic forums?
I agree with this. Other Niantic games still have a forum, so categories for each game would be a relatively small burden, and it'd go a long way towards making the Ingress community actually feel valued.
Reddit is a terrible choice in my opinion. They alienated a big chunk of their own user base last year, and there's still a lot of people who refuse to use them to this day.
