Time to shut down TMM?

Post by Feathers »

Been lots of talks with TMM from the Staff that TMM is basically already dead, I personally agree. Our daily visitors are basically nil these days (apart from the endless torrent of spam bots.) We also lost authorization to post new MGE profiles (I just found out about this yesterday). I have ZERO interest in MGE these days, and that was always the draw of this place (unfortunately), so I feel like it lost its only purpose.

Anyways, I'm just taking opinions for Tsar CUBE (he didn't ask me to do this but I figured I would) to relay to him that we should just stop wasting his money on a dead forum. I tried my one last revival back in 2021 and no one bothered to post in here. I'm not the same person these days and I know I won't have the energy nor desire to maintain a (dead) forum anymore.

So yeah, it was a fun time, but I think it's time to shut down. The Discord will stay up though (if we decide to close the forum).

What do you all think?

Yeah, it's time to put this place out to pasture at a farm upstate.

I didn't post at all, but I used to read the forum from time to time. It was fun to look for news about monster girls in a page dedicated to it. Sadly, these kind of web pages have been going down while big corporations increase their user numbers. I know I'm part of the problem, I use those pages after all.

I know a way to save the site is to somehow turn it into a business, but I'm glad it didn't become part of the grift waves we see on every social media.
Maybe you could expand it instead of focusing on MGE. I know that's one of the biggest works on the MG topic, but there are several dojins and indie works that would appreciate the attention.

Regardless of your choice, I'm grateful for the space and the goood times. I'm pretty sure a lot of people feel the same way.

If you have any ideas I'd gladly relay to the site admin and also consider it too. We have an entire server at our disposal here. It doesn't even have to be a forum and we could even change the name.

To be fair, that was actually the whole purpose of TMM in the first place (The Monster Multiverse). There are MGQ, PokeGirls, Feleyra, etc.

But, losing MGE content privileges does leave a significant impact. I have very fond memories of this place, so I don't exactly like the idea of it going down, but at this point, it's more of an archive site than an active one.

As someone who chats with Mr. Cross regularly I was never informed that TMM lost access. I think it's more that discord took over. The only place that lost MGE access has been MGU, which is dead.

Considering we see this get posted: "The MGE Wiki and MGR have received special permission to post this profile ahead of its release on Kenkou Cross' main website, it is not permitted to be posted elsewhere. Fan art, however, is permitted."

Which is something I thought we had as well in the past.

Please give me some time, I have messaged Mr. Cross on his private discord account to confirm yes or no. Also I would have reached out via the discord, but the link has been expired.
