Should we migrate our forum to this community?

[dorkbird]

Anyone still here?
Looks like the most recent entry was from 3 years ago... Well, same topic. VampireFreaks is shutting down and the ScienceWorld forum group is looking for a new home. Same with the sibling "cult", ComputerWorld.

We like to have (image) contests, polls, and discuss all matters of the sciences and skepticism. We post current events, debates, feature people, music, art, ethics, and have some fun stuff like thread games and possibly movie nights.
The links will show much of what's been going on there until everything gets shut down in Feb. 2020. Things have been slow, admittedly, but it's a wonderful crowd. Of course, not all of the stuff we've done translates to what would work well in a DW Community but we also have forums and a microblog group:
https://forums.thefreaks.club/viewforum.php?f=3&sid=e4e9fc67637be742f8ee23d8de65959a
https://social.thefreaks.club/group/sw
Please feel free to join my new site and I'm also going to encourage people join DW and we'll go from here!

P.S. ComputerWorld has it's own forums & GNU Social group at TFC. Haven't looked for related DW Communities yet.

Please comment if you still pay attention to this community! Also, let me know if you'd be interested in helping us out or if we could help you out ;)

Hi! I still follow this community. I haven't looked at the community you're talking about enough to have an opinion about it, but yes I still pay attention there.

[dorkbird]

Yeah, the VampireFreaks cult has been slow lately and even more so now that the social network aspect of the website is being shutdown. Also, not everything is visible to the public, some of it requires you to be a member of the cult itself.
And the stuff on TheFreaks.Club is brand spankin' new so, unfortunately, there isn't a whole lot going on yet. But I'm working on it!!

I'm here and would love to see the community more active again! I glanced at your forum and wow at that spiked skull article. I have a Doberman and he has a knob on his head so that's how I'm picturing it XD Anyway, I'd love to see more posts of that nature here!

[dorkbird]

lolol now I'm picturing it like that too.

[cesy]

Still here and would be happy to see more people involved.

[dorkbird]

Same! Thanks for responding.

[princessofgeeks]

I can't volunteer in any way, but I would love to read any of those groups on DW. Good luck!

[dorkbird]

That's okay. Though, I kind of meant that people can post anything they find interesting/important and have even the shortest comment on. That's the best way everyone can "volunteer"! ;)

Thanks! (either way)

Still here and would love to see it more active.

Awesome! Me too! XD

I'd forgotten this community existed, but it's still on my reading list, so hi! More content is good, as long as it doesn't require a response.

[dorkbird]

It's always good to have Some kind of response or it feels and looks like the entries are getting lost in the vastness of cyberspace. That just feels bad! And it doesn't help anyone new coming into the Community. Not saying everyone needs to reply to everything but a bit here and there is great. :D
