Well, it would make the site more active overall I would think.

It already has. :P There's a fair number of recent active people who moved over from Syndrone.


And "over a month" is a bit of an understatement. It's more like "since September."

Oh, I don't normally check out the forums as a whole, mostly just threads I follow. ^^;

I see. Well, then! :P Now ya know.

Syndrone has been a sinking ship for a while now.

I only checked that thread due to announcement notification XD

lol, well, good thing those are there, then. XD

Man, I was really excited about Syndrone when it first launched, too. Those avatars are nice.

I was really excited about it too....I joined the day it went up actually.

I tried it for a while, but got lost rather quickly.

Well, I remember the original admin getting pissy at me because I pointed out a problem that could be fixed with a sentence or a bit of coding, whichever they preferred.

Later got banned (created another account since then, also the original got unbanned) and found out from a friend of said admin that they had been looking for a reason to ban me (got a temp ban, then during the temp ban I got perma-banned....can't do anything wrong when I can't access the website)...so more points against that admin....on top of that, the email address to contact the admin? Bounced back ALL emails.

Then Fork happened. That was pretty bad.

Then Fork's friend took over.

Then these people took over.

Syndrone was just a series of messes for its whole lifetime, it seems...

Impressive it got as big as it did, and collected such quality artwork.

That's very true. If Fork hadn't happened, I think everything would be different, you know?

I did not witness the Forking of Syndrone, but I poked around the internet some to try to figure it out recently.

And I think the main issue that happened with Fork was that he was really shit at dealing with people.

I mean, what I read about fork-related drama did not say that's what the problem was. There were all kinds of grievances. But that's what it seemed like.

That, and nobody had any idea what they were talking about. (Fork nor the anti-Fork people.) lol.

Granted, all I found was a little thread on Gaia with a series of screenshots and thoughts, but still.




All the same, yes, I believe you're right.

The last straw before things totally blew up big time was the stuff with Fork. I can't remember what exactly went down since it's been ages and I've since cooled down and forgotten about it but I think part of it was from the backlash of having something similar already happen from the previous site happen to the current one since alot of people from the old/former site had joined Syndrone. (I was a member of both from the earlier days of the old site). Either way the mods and admins and other people in charge weren't that great or that friendly for the most part aside from a few exceptions. Syndrone was a tad better about it at least though.

I assume the pun of the site getting forked up has been made many times.

@Coda: Most definitely it has XD Though I know I've heard a few sites other than Syn have gotten "forked over" too.
