Is K:M dead?

[Williamblaze]

Thanks for the reminder, considered responding beforehand.

I think people have already added enough on their own, say about Discord usage. Discord might be commonly used for gaming-related discussions, as an alternative to online forums (and to varying extents, to other services, centralized or not). But it's actually just one example of a more general pattern: Using a few centralized services/websites with access to various features and much more people, mainly due to convenience. The latter approach obviously requires significantly less accounts / logins.

Even if people still visit the forums known as the PCKF, chances are they won't visit K:M without having enough of a reason. It's also another example of visiting more separate community websites being much more commonplace beforehand.

Non-modding-development activity between K:M and the PCKF seemed to differ even in 2009, which might be expected. For instance, consider my old AAMBA threads (preceding AAMBA15Y) created in 2009. Both forums had their posts in page 1 of each thread up until the October 2009 update to AAMBA. However, after posting about that 3rd and last 2009 revision, there was no new post in the K:M thread, while the PCKF one eventually had about 10.5 more pages of posts up to (and including) October 2018.

Speaking of the Keen and Modding Wikis on shikadi.net, I've thought of the notion of creating a separate thread covering them (if there isn't already a relevant one). Originally, my reasoning was bringing up the topic of Bio Menace related contents in the Wikis, something which had actually already been done by me within a K:M thread back in 2011; Albeit the latter had been more specific to Bio Menace patches, at least initially.

On a side-note, interestingly, the PCKF had its incarnations, including the Ezboard-based one and this or that earlier incarnation not yet using the PCKF name. On the other hand, it looks like Keen:Modding as currently hosted is still essentially the original forums, including posts older than the earliest ones found in the currently hosted PCKF.

Loved your Bio Menace mod back in the day, btw. Did you see the steam remaster coming out soon?

Hi, thanks for the compliments about my BM1 level pack! I know certain levels may feel difficult, including also a level as early as the 4th, but looks like you remember a positive experience in general.

As for the remaster, you might want to check this thread, including my reply added in the last minutes: https://pckf.com/viewtopic.php?t=18112
