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.
Well.... there was a promise made to an xfac couple that was not fulfilled and emails regarding it bounced back to the sender so the assumption was she'd been let go.
I guess everyone has a different definition of working....
While that's technically true, there was still more than three months' notice on the revised timeline:
2018-10-08: Google announces shutdown for end of August 2019
2018-12-10: Shutdown moves to April 2019; APIs to sunset within 90 days
2019-04-02: Shutdown date arrives
The Takeout data was not perfect by any means, but it does include the (perfectly readable) text of every post and comment I made on Google+. What it doesn't do is preserve that content online for others to see.
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.
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.

Well I came back for one last post.

So long and thanks for all the fish.
As usual, Perry speaks thinking he knows more about Niantic while in Australia.
LinkedIn isn't so much of a reality.

Then I was provided bad intel, sorry folks.
I edited my original post to prevent any more confusion.
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.
Glad you were able to edit. I think dropping the below as a reply to this comment makes sense for the flow of conversation about Thia.

I wouldn't suggest reddit just because of its IPO happening this year.
Strange he thinks a web forum doesnt work ? what is it that they need i dont get it....
discord would be a better choice then reddit atleast even if i dont like it much either but u can create different subforums there.
