lace picture dump

here's my second (then pictured complete with first) third and fourth pieces of bobbin lace from this year (technically I made one other thing before this but years ago)

(The first three are the whole stitch then half stitch bookworms and the torchon ground bookmark from Dye & Thunder's beginners book; the fourth is a sampler of cloth stitch, half stitch, and whole stitch/cloth stitch and twist from an IOLI Introduction to Bobbin Lace book.)

Then the beginning of my first attempt at Armenian needle lace, based on a video tutorial by BecomeInspired on youtube. (This is size 5 DMC perle cotton in shade 742). It's not basically difficult to do but I think you have learn to judge the loop sizing. I've worked further on this since and it eventually got a bit ruffly. (I'm pretty sure it should be more visible if you click on the picture)

Finally, an attempt at the primary motif in the Cherry Blossom shawl from Tomoko Morimoto's New Tatting, but it isn't planar (doesn't lie flat). I mostly blame this on having no idea how to upsize the thread space measurements given from "silk thread" (??) to size 10 crochet cotton since for some reason I like the idea of this in the yellow/white mix that is Aunt Lydia's "mimosa"

Why is it that I’m always the most dysphoric when my sensory issues are the worst I had to force myself to take off my binder and I can’t put on a sweater because I’ll overheat immediately and god I want to kill my uncle

or, newt, the quiet, stoic boy, and y/n, the bubbly girl both curse the world for keeping them apart, but at least they can send each other cute emojis and hope the other doesn't notice their blossoming feelings.

GREETINGS !

Hello everyone, it’s been a while, no?

I’m sorry for the inactivity, but I have not been in the best mental state im afraid.

TW FOR SUI MENTION, CHILD ABUSE [neglect, physical & emotional] , SH, HOSPITALIZATION, HEART ATTACKS & INCEST

Now through out the entire month of June, my mental health has gone downhill. I have shared this a couple times, yes but- I have not shared the full story.

On June 1st, my brother had recently gotten out of the hospital, during the time I had been living with my grandma. My grandma is absolutely horrible- she does nothing but make comments about me aswell as make me uncomfortable.

when my brother had gotten out and I was recently back home, all the attention had been on him- usually, I wouldn’t care and that would make the most sense, Yes but- to completely ignore your own kid- me. It’s the whole family that’s been ignoring me overall, which I don’t even care, it’s been like this my entire life and I hate it.

My mothers behavior hadn’t changed, she had even gotten worst, she’d raise her hand and hurt me- she does not understand how her actions affect me, and after she physically lays her hands on me she acts as if nothing had happened and that everything was normal. Her comments about my body, my health- my everything affects me and she finds it oh so ‘hilarious’ I’ve tried to tell her how I feel and she’s laughed in my face before- I hate this family in everyway.

The worst thing that had happened was when I happened to have a heart attack in call- and she brushed it off like it was nothing- we had also just recently been driving back from the hospital because my brothers stomach was hurting- wow because a kid having a heart attack is less important than a stomach ache-

I don’t mean to be selfish im just ? Angry with her, Angry with the whole world. My body is always in pain yet nobody could ever care, im always suffering . I’ve tried to end it 3 separate times and failed, I’ve relapsed multiple times aswell. I’ve been little so often it makes me feel guilty, Yes I know I’ve said before- ‘there is no such thing as being too little’ but I genuinely want to be big for once- I’ve had to mask being big multiple times and I just hate it, i wanna be a little kid. I want my childhood back. I want my old happy self back, nobody understands me- I don’t even understand me, dude.

June 25th- my brother had been in the hospital again during this time. He’s currently on the day Im writing this (July 10th) out of the hospital! He had been since July 1st. He had been in the hospital for a while during this time but- on June 25th I was heading to my cousins house, Finally. As much as I had fun there I was also extremely

Like- EXTREMELY uncomfortable.

My cousins were there- my cousin who forced me into a relationship with her, made me do uncomfortable things with her was there.. and so was my younger cousin, my younger cousin who would touch me in places I asked her not to, unlike the older cousin, I had genuinely told my mother that my cousin was touching me in places I didn’t want. My mother didn’t believe me, she used to be like ‘oh she’s just a child, she doesn’t know better’ which was just disgusting.

June was just. Absolutely horrible, if I had the chance once again, Id truly end it all. It’s not fair, why does everyone hhab it good but not mme I deserve to be happy, Don’t I?

I’d truly start a fundraiser for myself so I could leave this house but, im stuck here. There is no way in hell I could possibly leave- perhaps when im 18, I’ll have the chance to.

But but- this whole post isn’t about me pitying myself, it is about me taking a break.

I will be going on break Yes, I’ll mostly be on in discord, just won’t be speaking to people much, if you decide to check up on me in discord I’ll probably reply, apologies if not.

I wont be away for long as much as I’ve gone through a lot, I’ll probably take a couple days

I mite take like .. 5 days (on discord and all my social media..) and be back. PLEASE. Please try and reblog this if you can.

Remember to stay safe everyone and that i love you all !

This is Emmy signing off ! Bye bye ! 🩵

A NOTE TO THOSE WHO FOLLOW ME, OR JUST LURK (XD).

I am full time on Splatoonfan, I first got into it via the wonderous art and stories you all take your time and care to build and create. I than got my first swtich and Splatoon games on my 30th Birthday (Yah im old lol, but hey theirs a 80 year grandma who plays Skyrim!)

I have like a few inkfish on here who I frequently interact with, they have been nothing but kind and geeky like me. I wanna say thankyou. I am online infish. I am on Twitter, here, instagram, Discord and Facebook. So yah, I im a busy bee. I alos read alot ....looks at my Ao3 bookmarks...has over 300.😅

Also...If any of you ever wondered, all of the physical artwork I share on here are from artists who have given me their permission to do so after I asked them! Unfortunately some really cool arts I cant so I am greatful that Tumblr atleast shows a preview of the Art from the link! Well atleast from Twitter, it gets iffy for animations and gifs.

I am always happy to see some of the small time artists I share actually gian new followers! I am unable to offer financial help or commission from other artists cause private reasons. So ii try and raise awareness in this way. I can undertsand the trepidation of art reposts. Some people are juat downright cruel and steal the art, claiming as their own or use it for a.i stuff.

I just simply like sharing cause of cool and awesome or downright funny they can be.

I am an artist by hobby, somi can fully understand the effort and time put in an art. I used to just share with the link before asking the artist...but I changed that, and try to only post if they say yes. I will also willingly take down anything if they ask so.

And will respectfully honour their request if they no when i ask.

Its juat one of main ways of enjoying splatoon fanart, comics, fanfictions, animations and music... is by letting others who havent seen such works of wonder do so, or atleast become aware of siad artist. Im sure many of you have never heard or seen these artists or just dont want to deal with the other hassels other socail sites might bring...lol.

Still it makes me smile when I see reblog and y'all freaking geeking out. Or when i check out the sam artist...and see their follow has risen by a few 50 or 100.

I come online and im like bombarded with over 200+notifs Xb. I try and interact with each comment. Still thank you guys,gals and others for being you.

[galacticxangel]

Wait I saw your comment on the meeting your mutuals/stranger danger post. You said you married your mutual? That's so cute. Have you shared that anywhere and if not would you share it here?

I’m pretty sure I’ve shared it passively, but I never shared the full thing just on its own, so I’ll do that here!

So back in Ye Olde Days (13 years ago), Ask Blogs were a big thing on Tumblr, and also, so was Minecraft! And wouldn’t you know it, I was running a little Minecraft ask blog. And then I came across another, which had amazing art and characters and I adored what I was seeing, so I followed, they followed back, I sent little asks, and we communicated that way! The blog I found was run by two people, @cosmic-anchor (Silvia), and her friend Lazzy (boyo where’s your blog). He’s still a mutual bestie today, as are a few other folks we met via ask blog shenanigans, like @knightlymoon and @ragnarode .

ANYWAY. We get to playing on a server together (we actually use a Minecraft version release date as our meeting anniversary, because it was right around the prerelease of Beta 1.8: September 9, 2011. How do we remember? Well, that’s when they released Endermen! And anyone familiar with Minecraft aakblogs knows just how popular those are today. But back then? HOLY crap. Everyone and their grandma has a Sexy Broody Enderman or a Sexy Broody Enderman Hybrid. It was. A lot), take to each other like a church on fire, and become besties! We have a little house together.

Long time passes, and we’re on pretty much daily communication, still playing games, etc. I went through basic training and she was one of the folks I sent letters to while I was there. We played D&D together (This was an entire fiasco where we lost one bestie due to an abusive relationship. She’s back now tho! Love you Lynn <3). Even in the military, when I got DEEPLY depressed, she was there for me and helped me out (I credit her for being alive today. I’m not sure I’d be here if she hadn’t talked me down and convinced me to see a mental health specialist). I get out of the military, get my own little apartment, and go ‘wait a minute. I can do what I want. I have a best friend I’ve known for like six years now. Let’s invite her down!’ And so we start planning our first

‘Down’ is an understatement. See, I live in Texas. She lives in Kentucky, literally a thousand miles away. And while I’ve got all my documents and paperwork and driving skills and travel under my belt, she… doesn’t. As the older sibling of a special needs person, and not from a very high income household, she didn’t have this stuff. So it’s up to me, and I’m too fired up about taking my bestie to a renaissance faire (yah we. Really nerdy lol) to consider anything but!

We get her costume ready. Her plane tickets. Her ids and everything, sorted. It comes to like. Two weeks before the flight. And I get a call at work. It’s Via. Now, this is weird. Over the years, we’ve kinda fallen into a system. Common communication falls into just a message (Skype at the time iirc, Discord didn’t exist just yet). Something kinda urgent gets you an alert ping (like @ing someone). Dire is a call. And my phone’s ringing.

Not good.

So I hurriedly excuse myself from the office to take it, and she’s in tears. Her dad’s gotten cold feet, and won’t take her to the airport like he promised because ‘what if I’m an internet predator’. I mean. I get it. I have a Southern Style family, too (This will come up later). But damn it, she’s an adult. We’re BOTH adults. Also, I just bought a round trip plane ticket! Also, at this point I know more about her than he does. He still thinks she’s straight. But he won’t take her because we’ve never met face-to-face.

It’s Wednesday. I look at my office door. I have my best friend, current queerplat partner on the line, sobbing apologies.

“Hey. Tell him to pick a place to eat. Dinner on Friday. My treat, okay?”

“What?”

“Tell him to pick a place for dinner on Friday. I’ll see you then.”

Thus begins the trek that cements me as ‘most unhinged friend when others need something’ in our friend group to the day. I go into my office, spinning a sob story about how some nondescript family member just passed and funeral and blah blah I need to go but I’ll be back on Monday.

Green light acquired.

I go home, and immediately go to sleep. I wake up around midnight, pack my bags into my little Kia, and off I go. 1000 miles. Now, remember when I said my family would come up later? Here’s later: I didn’t tell them. There was NO WAY they were going to just sit idle while I drove a thousand miles, ALONE, to meet someone I’d never met in person. I’d never driven quite that far, either. Not to say no one knew, I would plot two hours on my gps, send the path to Lazzy and Via, and check in when I hit the next stop. If I didn’t check in, they were told to call my parents if I was over an hour late. Which, obviously, I never was, because I’m typing this and not like, dead or anything.

I roll up to her local Cracker Barrel at 8pm on Friday, after easily one of the best experiences of my life (was out between cities on a clear, late summer night, got to see the Milky Way for the first time, got ‘adopted’ by a bunch of truckers at a truck stop I paused for a nap at). My hair’s a bit frizzy and I’m wearing a shirt that says ‘Watch Closely: I’m About To Do Something Stupid’. But her dad gets the firmest, friendliest Texan handshake I can give, and a bright smile.

Apparently, he never expected me to show. According to Via, I humbled him that day. I don’t pay for dinner, despite offering. I even stay the night.

She’s on a plane for Texas two weeks later.

(Bonus: it’s at the point I send a picture of the big ol ‘Welcome To Kentucky’ state line sign to my parents. This. Was not a good idea lol. But I had my big Texas meat swangin my ego and I was damn proud to be functionally unhinged. My dad scolds me and then gets me a hotel room in Little Rock, DEMANDING I stop half way on the way back. My mom calls me, yells at me, and then hangs up on me. Calls back an hour later to apologize because she wasn’t mad I went, she was mad that I was right when I told her ‘you’d have tried to stop me’. Ultimately fine, in the end).

There’s at least one other travel adventure (much easier this time! We were supposed to go to PAX South but were too lazy that morning so we ate pizza and played video games.

I move out of my apartment and start renting a house. I have extra room. And I think about my friend, who’s only left her tristate area twice now, both because of me. And I think ‘that’s my best friend! I wonder if she wants to move down here!’

Another 2k miles on my poor little Kia (who’s STILL KICKING BTW), and she now lives in Texas. This was about five years ago. We live in my little granny house that’s older than both occupants combined. You heard that right, though. Oh my god, We Were Roommates.

It’s about this time that apparently Via starts Getting The Feelings but BLESS HER she’s being SO GOOD because at this point I’m defining as Aro/Ace. Turns out it was just some anxiety/aversion because my previous relationship was turbo unhealthy! But I really like this chick, and I’m like ‘you know what, I’m scared I’ll mess up our friendship, but I’ll try these things. We already go on ‘dates’ and I buy you flowers occasionally just because I was thinking of you and we already snuggle every night because it helps us go to sleep’ yeah I was. Hm. Dense.

Anyway it takes off HARD and within the year, we’re married on the coast where I took her to see the ocean for the very first time, on September 9, 2023.

Our first anniversary is soon. 💕

in Norse Grandma Addition

Why did they defend Loki's child? You would think Frigg would want her dead and so.

This is long so I put it under a cut but TLDR: It's their job as Odin's wives and not doing so would create a bad precedent.

Jörð fostered Loki. Nominally she is the closest thing to a mother for him, so she expands a certain amount of care to all his children. She is also Odin's wife and as Odin's wife, she has a duty of care toward any children of his house, which Percy counts as because Loki is Odin's sworn brother and lives in his house. Additionally, she has strong feelings about Poseidon thinking he can just attack a child in their house and get away with it and just wants to crack his skull open since she thinks he raped Loki (who she did help raise).

Frigg is effectively the second in command of Odin's house. She manages its internal affairs and its public image to an extent. Even if she does not like Loki, as a wife (and yes this is a dated belief but she is an old Norse woman) she has to follow her husband to an extent. One of the things Odin is constantly pushing for in my fic is for the family to appear united to outsiders so it would be extremely bad if she let an assault like this pass without doing anything. It would discredit her as a wife, expose discord in the nose pantheon, and give others the impression that if they attack children of the Norse pantheon they won't be punished which is not something she can allow to happen as the main hostess. So Frigg will, at least for appearance's sake, make sure Percy has whatever she needs. It's literally her job as Odin's main wife and the person who manages the house's finances, regardless of her feelings about Loki.

Gunnlöð does not care about Loki one way or another. He is an adult who can take care of himself. She'll defend him if she sees him being attacked because he is part of Odin's house. For Percy, she defends her because Percy is a child who can't fight and Gunnlöð has strong feelings about that.

Gríðr actually feels indebted to Loki because she has used his skills to get her hands on rare research materials before, so naturally she doesn't want to alienate him. On a more practical note (and her bio will talk about her relationship with Odin more), she is Odin's wife, and doing what he wants is her job. Since he wants Percy safe then she will step in.

Rindr does not care for Loki but she knows Poseidon raped him so, as a fellow rape victim she wants to hurt Poseidon. It's not like she can hurt Odin after all (he's her husband, she has attitudes from her time), but Poseidon is fair game, and he showed up to kill his own daughter so she wants to hurt him because she thinks he is the worst.

So in summary, Percy is Loki's daughter and a child of Odin's house so as such she is entitled to be defended in said house. Not doing so would make the Norse look weak to other pantheons which Odin would hate so, regardless of personal feelings, Percy will always be well cared for by the Norse.

Sleepover Friday, usually I don’t use anon but anxiety is bad rn, I’m not feeling like I’m enough, both my partners are having a lot happen in their lives and I just don’t know how to help more, I have a lot to say but I don’t wanna be a pest and I just, any advice for shaking anxiety off?

Do you have a lot to say specifically to them? Because if so you can draft one really long message and just like edit it and when you feel like you’ve hit every point just send it to them and then put your phone away and focus on something else.

If you mean like you have a lot to say where you need to vent about your own things and don’t want to bother them, I would find a space that they’re not in and just vent about your stuff there, like this wonderful server for mentally ill polyamorous people where I yell about my problems to other adults:

My mom and I actually just had like a talk between us of like venting our shared issues (don’t have friends, not feeling good about life sometimes, etc.) and our unique issues (she has financial stress I don’t have, I have ‘do I need a new job’ stress she doesn’t have right now) but like I make sure that I have a few support systems to turn to (I vent on this blog, I vent in my server, I vent to my friends, I even vent to my coworkers) but my mom said that she can tell she’s venting too much to my grandma and that my grandma has started letting what my mom vents go in one ear and out the other and that she needs to vent less and like… I get it I feel like I vent in my server too much even though it’s MY server…

I guess in a way I’m lucky that I’m the person going through it the most I think at least openly that I know. Like yes of course everyone I know has problems but I think they’re… handling it better than me… you know, not falling back into SH, making suicide jokes, trying to decide if they should uproot their entire lives because 1 girl rejected them…. You know shit like that….

Honestly my advice has been and always will be just find a tv show or a book series or a game and just lose yourself in it so you don’t focus on your own shit you’re focusing on a piece of media instead. And I mean that can be debilitating, I know for a while I was watching a show and I was like “work is interfering with my comfort show” and that’s… that’s not helping. But like it’s better than the kind of crippling depression that leaves you like? Self harming and a sobbing mess in bed? Like at least I can be obsessed with a show?

Alternatively, getting out of the house and like… DOING something? Also helps. Like now I go to Virginia Beach and take time to myself to go to the beach and relax, go shopping, take a long but relatively easy drive… that helps too.

Oh boy did this one give me troubles. I love Julie to bits but holy moly did I have to relearn how to do hair. I swear I did her hair over 3 different times. I did eventually get to where I was happy. I did love doing her eye shadow and making the Legion mural look like it was drawn on a chalk board. So many textures, SO MUCH FUN! I was not able to save this as a PNG though because apparently this is my largest file yet and a PNG went well over the 20 megabyte limit. Got her on discord as a PNG just fine though. Looks the same so not too awful in the end.

In the end, giving Julie a face I wanted her to look like the kind of woman that would step on somebody because, "ha ha pathetic you." She looks like she screams sassy, and I think Frankie is into that lol. Julie is a text book example of what Frank is into. Dummy thicc dommy mommy mommy goth GF. Yes I did say that :)

Obligatory wacky thingy to do with the drawing, coming right up! Julie with grandma lips!

My #1 post of 2022

What they say: I am loving Our Flag Means Death!

What they mean: Yes I am screaming crying throwing up but what other words do I have about watching a Latine nonbinary character on my TV not only being called by their correct pronouns but by the name they chose by basically everyone (and Nana as the exception, someone who wants to recognise Jim but is caught in old habits is ALSO important), this is a show where the queer is not subtext but text, it’s flashing neon signage with a song from THE Fleetwood Mac “fucked up relationships” album playing while one lost soul physically reaches out to touch the man he loves, this is a show that is using the most beloved romance tropes as a shopping list, it saw we were hungry and offered a buffet for the heart, and all the while that I’m leaning forward, repeating lines in the sotto voice of joyful disbelief there is a part of me is both so angry this sort of story is rare and so grateful this show is acting like this is a normal story to tell.

INTRODUCING CAMERON ROOK WRITTEN (AND LOVED!) BY CORRIE

 ⸻     have  you  ever  heard ABOUT DAMN TIME by lizzo  ,  it  is CAMERON ROOK to  a  tee  .  the  twenty two year  old  twitch streamer has  been  spotted  wandering  down  portobello  road  markets  just  last  sunday  ,  do  you  know  them  ?  would  you  say  she is more  rambunctious or  more  attentive  anyway  ,  they  remind  me  of copious amounts of fairy lights hung on bedroom walls, pink headphones with cat ears, bright smiles, converse trainers with stickers on the front and loud laughs, maybe  you'll  catch  them  around  yeah ?     ⸻     [          ◟  MILLY ALCOCK. ◝           ]  

triggers: mentions of divorce / affairs / teen pregnancy / teenage angst / mummy issues

THE BASICS: 

full name: cameron elizabeth rook

nicknames: cam 

birthday: 11th april 2000 (22 years old)

gender: cis woman (she/her)

sexuality: heterosexual (??)

relationship status: very single 

BASIC INTRO: 

cameron’s life has always been a bit of a whirlwind, she was an unplanned teenage pregancy, to two teenagers (stacy and finch) who definitely weren’t ready for children just yet. 

once finch (@drcamland​) found out that his girlfriend was pregnant, he proposed and the pair got married. 

but secretly stacy had other ideas, she wasn’t ready to stettle down and start a family, she just wanted to see the world. 

so a few months after cameron was born, stacy upped and left, she’d met someone new, she was off to see the world.

she left finch basically holding the baby, he became a single dad, things ended. ever since then it’s just been finch and cameron against the world. 

as a kid cameron’s childhood was fine, when mother’s day came around and all the kids had to write cards to their mums, she’d just write one to her grandma.

it was only when she became a teenager, did the angst start!!! cameron started to believe that it was her fault that her mother left. 

her relationship with her dad became rather strained and fraught, there were a lot of arugments etc.

as a teenager, cameron did google her mum, she tried to find her but she didn’t come up with much.

she wanted this whole big hallmark style cheesy reunion but that never happened.

anyway, fast forward to now, cameron is twenty two, she lives in notting hill with her dad (they moved to london from california), she’s a twitch streamer.

once she got out of her terrible teenager years and accepted the fact that stacy just didn’t want to be a mum, her relationship with her dad got better.

now cameron and her dad are back to being as close as ever, the dynamic duo, sometimes they have their moments but overall they are happy. 

she loves her job as a twitch streamer, she’s a variety streamer and she streams all kinds of games. she’s quite a popular streamer and goes by rooks online. yes she has modded her dad.

cameron is a lot happier with herself and her life now, things are good!!!!

WANTED CONNECTIONS: 

friends

streamer friends / stream team

crush (??)

followers / fans of hers

Should You Create A Discord, Facebook Group, Reddit, Or Forum For My Community?

Since the dawn of humanity we’ve always had a need to connect, It’s wired in our brains and souls, We are social creatures and there’s no denying that, Thanks to mobile phones and the internet this has made things so much easier to talk to people without the need for them to be right across from you, While there are some negatives with this type of technology if used correctly it has helped humanity at the same time, We have a need for communities, This means internet-based communities are not going anywhere.

So let’s get to the question, “Should I Create A Discord, Facebook Group, Or Forum For My Community?”

In Each of these, I am going to be breaking down the cons and pros of each product type then at the end of this article we can finally get to the golden question, Yes I know you want me to get straight to the point! Trust me we will but before we can we need to explain the positives and negatives of each one, It wouldn’t be a blog post if I didn’t explain them first.

Discord

Best for quick and easy communities

Discord is a VoIP and instant messaging platform, It was launched in 2015, Users can create their own servers (similar to groups) and inside that server, They can create chat sections, This is similar to creating sub-forums in forums but replace the threaded discussions with chat logs.

Cons:

discussions are not designed to be permanent and hard to find over time,

No search engine optimization meaning your discord may not be high up on google or at all

Limits on users and channels per server preclude new fans from popular servers and limit growth for indie developers.

Busy Discord servers are overloaded and not pleasant

Pros:

User Friendly, Anyone can start a Discord server even your grandma if you teach her, It’s not that hard to learn and will only take a few minutes

Push Notifications on the go make keeping up with your community easy

an app designed for ease of use not much else to say

Reddit

best for simple discussion communities

Reddit is an American social news aggregation, content rating, and discussion website, It was launched all the way back in 2005!

Cons:

Threads are archived after a certain time frame

The reputation system automatically bans you for nothing, If people disagree with you the downvotes ban you! (censorship is big on that site)

each new “subreddit” as they call it is just sub-forums turned into a hashtag-style, Each subreddit has different owners as anyone can create a subreddit.

Unlike traditional forums, things are not organized and it’s still hard to find old posts and comments.

Can’t post in many subreddits unless you have a certain level of reputation (upvotes by other users help this)

Pros:

Reddit is extremely good at driving traffic, Reddit does get indexed by Search Engines unlike Discord or Facebook.

discussions are deeper than Discord but not as good as a traditional forum in my opinion, Still good and a pro.

many people are on Reddit it’s the largest forum on the internet.

Not niche based so may feel not as personal, Each subreddit represents a niche .

Facebook Group

best for together communities

Facebook is a social networking website launched in 2004, It has a Group Feature, a Group is a place where people can join a group with other people of shared interests. What I mean by “together communities” is communities that want to come together and discuss a certain niche but not go to complex with it.

Cons:

Not organized, Old Posts get lost.

Not the best for SEO.

Busy Facebook groups can be over-crowded like Discord.

Not good for support groups.

Pros:

Almost Everyone is on Facebook.

Can invite all your Facebook friends.

simple, easy and not hard to get group members.

Traditional Forum

best for passionate communities.

the internet forum is a platform type that started way back in 1994, Other forms of forums that were not browser-based go as far back as the late 1970s, Just because they’re an old form of social media does not mean they are useless, Many people still play classic Nintendo systems such as the Nintendo GameBoy that’s also retro and software companies such as Xenforo or IP. Board still makes modern versions of the traditional internet forums, Social networks such as Twitter also use a forum for their support inquiries you can see Here.

Cons:

Can takes months or years to get it off the ground Since you are redirecting users to a separate website.

Costs money (these days to start it can be as low as $20AUD, as traffic spikes more)

Takes a ton of work to keep things in place, sometimes server maintenance.

Not as popular as they once were.

No push notifications on iPhone (Android can use PWA notifications on some forum software such as Xenforo)

Pros:

Very organized, easy to find old discussions in a few minutes, You just need the threads name.

deep discussions, designed to go in-depth.

can feel very personal that you joined an entire website for that 1 thing you’re passionate about for example a Golden State Warriors basketball forum.

Boost search engine rankings, designed for SEO.

if you get lucky one day and build an active community you can make money from it through ads.

You own the data and rights to all data, it’s your own personal domain.

As you can see you now Have the idea so let’s answer the question “Should I Create A Discord, Facebook Group, Reddit, Or Forum For My Community?” Well, that depends on what type of community you want to start.

Want to own the data and/or start a passionate community? Then start a traditional forum, Hosting isn’t as expensive as it once was.

Want a quick and easy community? Then start a Discord, it’s a chat app with your own servers that you can administer.

Want a simple but discussion-based community? Then start a Reddit.

want a together-style community then start a Facebook Group

As you can see Discord or Facebook HAS NOT DESTROYED FORUMS, These platforms have existed for years and forums continue to thrive, it may be true as Reddit involved it has made forums less popular and it’s harder to get them going, But it’s not easy to get a Twitch Stream going either, forums are not dying, People are sick of the internet, This doesn’t mean there’s no need for communities though because there is, The honeymoon phase of the internet is over but the internet still gets used daily if that makes sense.

Depending on what you think is best for your community and the goals you want to achieve then each of these can work for different reasons. the “forums are dead” saying is old and stupid, Xenforo still makes the software, If that were the case why would this commercial company and others such as IPBoard be still making money?

We at Pulse Chatter have our forums for passionate deep discussions and Discord for simple things, Both can serve as they are for different things. I hope this article has helped you, if it has please share it around :.)
