Kinda weird they still bother to make spambots for forums considering how few people use them these days though!

Also hi :)
Hey there, good to see you, Sarah! Yeah, I really wish people would go back to forums. Discord gets really dull after a while and I can’t do the same kinds of things I did on forums, like Pikachu Survivor Game, Stalkers, Devolution Battle Royale, and all the other fun forum events we used to have. It’s good for game voice chat, but the communities are just eh and there’s really not all that much you can do with them. Forums always offered so much more to do.

In terms of bots, I’ve heard of the “Dead Internet” theory that foresees bots just communicating to other bots and real human users won’t know who is real and who is just AI and as a result, people abandon talking online and go back to socializing in person. Every day it seems more and more like we may one day encounter this.

In other news, I’m looking forward to ArtFight in July this year. I need to make a bunch of new character reference sheets to prep, but it’s always fun and the thing I enjoy the most about it is attacking random people on the opposite team who don’t me and seeing how they react!
