Re: Goodbye Ingress forums
Is there not the option of having Ingress migrate to Vanilla Communities as some of the other titles apparently are?
Reddit's a terrible choice in my opinion. It's more searchable than Discord, sure, but it's not got the level of functionality of a proper forum. Plus it's a third party that's already had a lot of bad press and alienated many of its most passionate users/volunteer moderators over the last year or so.
Giving Ingress a section of a general 'Niantic Games' community would still be a way to cut costs, if that's what this is about, and would generate goodwill among players.
Re: Goodbye Ingress forums
I guess to be fair NIA never really used the forums for updates anyways, they just use Twitter which is just as toxic as reddit.
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.
