Process of Moving on from the OculusVR Forum

Did not want to fill the General Forum discussion up with this clutter, but also wanted to explain in a post rather than answer all the PM's individually. 

Question = Where have you been?
I received some PM's asking why I had not been as regular in posting as I had been. Part is due obviously to the World Health situation, and the need to look after clients and investors that are crawling back and re-opening their facilities in the LBE scene. But also there has been limited news of real interest on the forum. The reality of the Facebook announcement gave one point of interaction, but then seeing how the responses were being "played" I felt its best to take a step back and focus more on the discussions at the closed forums that I post or moderate.  

Question = Will you still be posting?
Well, yes and no.
I have decided that after the Facebook Connect 7 announcements [have a media key so will be logging on in person] - I will join in some of the forum discussions, (hoping for some lively exchanges of views in a civil atmosphere), but now as I mark coming up to some seven years posting on this forum that I may now turn the corner and with its merger into the new VR Social Media strategy, I may take my leave. I will however use my Quest at least a couple of times to try out the new medium of Horizon Forums, but at which point I think by January will move on, (though this may happen sooner than later so wanted to post this).

Just wanted to thank all the moderators and friends made on this service over the years, shame so many have moved on, but at least we can hock up at the other forums.

Wish all well, and look forward to seeing the advancements made in the next seven years.

Thanks for the PM Nekto2 - I have send you some examples of the current VR forums we are supporting or moderate. And regarding those closed-groups, I would gladly send a invite if you email. 

Just to reiterate, I will be moving on after October, and the implementation of the new forum structure, but will pop-back from time to time to try out the new format and answer questions. Thanks for reaching out. 




I guess you posted that PM to address when I said this,
" I don't believe for one second that you are getting an influx of users asking why you are posting less"

However, what you posted is a PM that came AFTER you made this Goodbye Thread. Do you see the problem?

When you first made the Goodbye thread, you said you were getting PM's prior. That means you got a PM BEFORE you made this thread. So showing a PM sent to you AFTER you made this thread doesn't really address it.

Just to be clear, this is nothing personal. I'm just talking about some basic Math where your post activity seems to have increased. Which is natural for many of us as we are all stuck home due to Covid-19. All I'm saying is that it would seem odd for someone to PM you that you are posting  less when in fact you are posting more.

Nekto's PM doesn't illustrate any of that. He's just responding to this very thread.

Interesting seeing the feigned clutching of pearls going on here to my response, with the play of the victim. I have had my say. If it was not to your liking then you are welcome to your views. I think I know were I stand on this - against personal attacks. Sorry cancel culture is not a thing on this forum...yet!

Okay, but that skirts the discussion. And you brought it up, right?

This is what you said in your first post,
"I received some PM's asking why I had not been as regular in posting as I had been."

All I'm saying in response is... I don't believe that to be true because you have been posting quite a lot over the past month or more.

Your follow-up reply of sharing Nekto's PM doesn't resolve this. Because Nekto's PM came only after this thread was created.

Sorry but the Math doesn't add up, and the Timeline doesn't connect.

I'm also not sure why you are accusing others of "playing the victim" when this thread literally does exactly that. The whole "playing the victim" is precisely why a "leaving the forum" has been announced!

I would also like to know Tuesday's Euromillions numbers too when you get a chance. You're obviously psychic because you're able to respond to Zenbane's posts despite having him on Ignore. 😮 😛 😄

Damn, I look mighty good on the Ignore Filter. Thanks for the photo op!

Most people know that you can just click on the name and it will expand
the user's post. And that's obviously what you are doing with my posts,
kevin. As you clearly respond to the things I say in multiple threads.
Which is fine! If you want to go through the extra task of
click-to-expand in order to read what I say, then have at it.

So a total coincidence,

I picked up this classic puzzle game recently from Steam since it was on sale:
Nightmare Adventures: The Witch's Prison

And it actually has Lottery Tickets! lol

Well shame if you do leave Kevin you are very unique poster.

Personally I still like the forum, Anything worth discussing in VR usually washes up on it’s shore and I respect / trust a lot of the people’s opinions here.

However I might feel guilty lurking here when I get my G2 and give away my cv1 ? Although who knows I may be buying something special from Oculus after FC7.
