I figured I'd make another one of these threads since I haven't done so for... golly, over a year or two.

Since people more frequently bring up the topic of "sep7agon is dead" either ironically or unironically I'm personally curious why you come here, under what conditions would/will you leave, and what might you do if this place does die?
Do you think this forum is fated to "die?"

this is the only community, irl or online, where people know who I actually am

I hide so much of myself every day and being able to be myself is such a relief

Some part of it is out of habit, but I also genuinely like and enjoy talking with the people here.

Just message me.
Vien 'Quitonm#1598 is my discord
This site has a nice layout and it's my alternative to Bnet's community.

I thought it was unable to become any shittier than it was.

I'm still here pretty much for the same reasons I started posting on Bnet nearly eight years ago: Came for the trolling, stayed for the cool people. I never left because I've yet to be given a reason to. It's too much fun, and half my friends are here, so simply leaving for no particular reason doesn't really sit right with me.

If this place "dies," I'm sure most of us will keep in touch through other means such as Steam or Discord--or at least, I would hope. It sounds nicer than totally disconnecting. I've never been a huge fan of that idea.

That said, the forum will last as long as we want it to.

We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty
and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
"Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.."
I suppose we all thought that one way or another.
To the question in the title:

I don't know. I always seem to come back. My activity has dwindled significantly in the grand scheme of things, but every once in a while I'll come back and be active again for a while (like right now). There's been several times that I've quietly left with the intention of not coming back, but sooner or later I get a link or something and I find myself back online. I think the longest I've gone is a little over 2 1/2 months. I've bounced a lot between genuinely enjoying this forum/community to hating it to just being content. A lot of it also just comes down to habit, as I've had to clear my history and shortcuts just to prevent myself from mindlessly clicking online. I think what it is, is that I'm just comfortable here. You get used to people, and they become familiar and almost homeish. I think that even if it does get slow, that at least some people will still periodically come back. If Cheat kills the website, well that's where the chat groups come into play.

The more I think about it, the more I realize that will probably be for a long time (if activity ever ceases). Maybe it could happen if some kind of social cataclysm erupted and damaged every social circle, but that's pretty doubtful.

That's basically it, as long as you have a core of people who are able to sustain the site, there's no reason for it to suddenly "die"

I was more so thinking gradual cessation of activity if anything, but considering how acquainted people are with the community and what they might use it to fill in their personal lives, I'm not sure if regulars really have any reason to leave this place of relative comfort.

You guys could probably do away with threads about the site dying (except the shitposting ones of course).

Ya fuckin' ganderneck.
I need some forum to fill the empty void of boredom/loneliness that exists within me. For many years it was WHU but then that board died and Sep7 came around. I wish I could find somewhere with more activity that was as close-knit as this place.

Goodness gracious, great balls of lightning!
I've been with this community for almost 8 years now. It's the only online community I've been apart of really and I'll gladly stay aboard until the end.

Ever since high school ended and I stopped talking and lost track of many people I used to hang out with, you guys were always here for me to talk about whatever when I had nobody else. I don't particularly post about my personal life on here all that much but you guys have helped me get through some pretty tough times. Seeing only a few people online, less threads, and less posts on here over these past few months has concerned me because if this place were to die completely and everyone splits up and goes their separate ways, I don't know what I'd do or where I'd go.

All other forums have a shit look and layout. I have no incentive to get acquainted or even just talk with people from anywhere else.

Also, I am not going to pay for the privilege to post on B.net.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
Going through the forum and posting once or twice a day doesn't take much out of my day. I like the regular faces.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.

It's nice to just see familiar faces to chat with about whatever topics people bring up.

If I look at the reverse of it, it's easier to see why I still enjoy sep7. If I were to go onto a forum filled with constant churn and faceless accounts, I'd get so bloody bored of seeing nothing but VALIDATE ME THROUGH MY THREADS (cough, b.net, cough) I'd stop bothering altogether.

The downside is the content can get a little stale from time to time, because everyone already knows everyone else's positions on damn near everything that there's nothing to gain from having a back and forth over X Y Z.

Only place that's small enough that everyone's recognisable and has its own culture yet large enough for a wide array of personalities. Plus I've been here since the beginning so I know all the in jokes.

I mean, I use stuff like spacebattles from time to time but the place is so big and old it sort of feels like you're intruding and places like 4chan are cool for jokes but it's hard to have any proper discussion because of the way it works.

Dunno. Kind of interested in the community, as I have invested a portion of my life into it.

I usually forget I have this site open in another tab and post when I remember it's there.
