Is bully-board.com dead?

[QWEQWEQWEQWEQWE]

too many inactive users (Especially professional modders like SWEGTA, SimonBestia, etc)
no one replies to someone's questions (Even my questions)
and lack of LUA tutorials.

wtf happened to bully-board.com? is like nobody plays this game anymore.
GTA (Even RDR) modding community is MORE active than that!

[SimonBestia]

I'm not that inactive.
I occasionally update my All Screenshots post and reply to modding questions. If I don't reply, I simply don't know how to help.

Bully is nowhere near as popular as GTA and RDR. This website has always been a bit niche and small. I think what really drove people out is being unexpectedly closed for over year with no notification of when it returned. And of course, people could have easily just shifted interest.
Discord has basically killed online forums in general as well.

I still remember when people used this forum good old days

[Bigfoot]

I still check in - granted, I don't check all the topics that often (usually just checking in on the life threads and so on) - but I'm usually checking in at least every couple of weeks, even if I don't post.

[Hayley]

This topic still baffles me lol.
"GTA has more discussion...!"
Like....yeah?
PS2 Bully sold 1.5 million copies. San Andreas sold over 17 million. GTA5 alone sold over 200 million copies and is still actively supported.
That series is infinitely more popular. No duh it's getting talked about to this day while Bully's corpse is rotting.

eyo

I also have some questions, mainly if anyone knows if there's a way to get the .map/ .IPL files into blender.

But yeah, everything seems a bit dead, sadly. idk if we're allowed to discuss discord communities, but I'd love to join one that has active modders tbh. Kinda thought about working on something a big bigger.

I don't know of any Discord communities but I'm sure they exist.

As I said last year, Discord killed public forums.
It's actually so fucking annoying when everything is locked behind a Discord server.

[MickerMacker]

I would really enjoy it if this made a comeback! I would certainly participate in it.

Say what you want, the concept of a community on a forum is far superior to a discord server. It's much better organized despite requiring more work.

What also kills forums is the fact that younger people seem to be much better at finding discord servers than making web searches. I was able to find this website long before I came across a discord server

This. Really sad but true. Discord has picked up with younger people. I don't think discord was even a thing back when I joined here.

Discord chat can give off that feeling of being "loose" with talks. It's not as tightly organized as forums. It doesn't feel as connected as most forum communities. I don't think a strong community is what a lot of newcomers seek. Just simple chat with answers.

I'm team forum as well, but I don't see it changing. It's not only the new way of things but also that Bully is almost two decades old without a new release. Though it still remains a unique and classic game, I don't think I've met anyone that was introduced to it and didn't love it.
