    Get rid of this forum. It serves no purpose. Except as place to moan. If you moan you're not alone.

    No. With your reasoning, forums for other games should all get removed.

    Forums allow for discussion and keeps us informed about tsw. You're only looking at a small minority of posts. The forum is helpful when you need help

    Better still, why don't you unsubscribe from this forum and don't bother posting again.

    "It serves no purpose. Except as place to moan."

    - game update announcements, Railfan-TV schedule announcements, roadmaps, DTL article discussions etc.
    - asking questions and getting them answered, helping newbies, discussing mistakes etc.
    - modders sharing their beautiful hard-worked-on projects in the PC Editor section
    - people reporting bugs and making suggestions with tons of effort going into looking up route and train information
    - screenshot contests!
    - more...

    yeah so the DTG Forums are indeed serving not a single purpose, and are absolute nonsense, unnecessary and not worth paying a visit #sarcasm

    I am being entirely serious and not sarcastic at all. What does sarcasm mean anyway? I refuse to Google it. Dictionary? No way.

    if the forums are not your type of entertainment or satisfy any of your interests you can just go away and don't use them anymore. as you can see they are being used very well, but it is what it is. Adios ;)

    Like you're doing right now, lmao.

    Kinda sad that the forum has been kinda dead for a while now, I find it more enjoyable than the game at this point.

    You could just leave if you don’t like it.

    Anyone who who thinks it is constructive needs an intervention. As an aside I'm being sarcastic. If you don't get sarcasm perhaps you think Monty Python is the height of humour.

    Just block every other user to create your own personal echo chamber.

    Most of us are here because we generally enjoy TSW (and TSC) but you can’t have a complex product like this with diverse content without garnering a cross section of views with some extreme, others more moderate. DTG certainly don’t have a problem with the forum nor their Focus Overboss and I’m sure if there were serious concerns those would be addressed by dealing directly with those who step out of line.

    But constructive criticism, as most of us aim to provide, should be welcomed not just put heads in the sand and pretend there are no problems. Equally praise where it’s due such as the recent BPO or more vintage content like DRA, NTP or TVL.

    It serves no purpose? Well I disagree, how else would I have a good old chuckle at the rather strange things that go through some people's minds.

    I think you should separate your emotional feelings from something as flippant as a game, you'll find you get way less triggered then.

    well you just caused a digital wildfire and I don't think people are happy with your sarcasm. if you try to be a comedian get on stage in Las Vegas instead.

    You are literally always trying to prove the "haters" wrong and complain yourself about anything that isn't positive as if someone insulted your mom.

    You aren't sarcastic, you just cannot grasp the fact that 1. not everything is super happy friendly lovely positive 2. not everyone has the same opinions and views as you and 3. maybe there is something wrong if there is so much "moaning"

    If you think this is bad, I've read other forums are just as bad or even worse and they are still up and running. The dtg social pages like YouTube and instagram are even worse than what you see on forums in my opinion. At least we can have discussion unlike developers like armstrong who disabled comments on YouTube completely because of toxicity but that also means we can't communicate concerns or give feedback.

    Is this a Focus stooge trying to get the forums shut down to suppress discussion of their financial affairs and that the boss of Rivet has them over a barrel with photos of Matt wearing pink headphones......?

    Being serious for a moment I like Matt's pink headphones. It annoys the right people.

    Hey all,

    Currently on my phone watching Vienna zip by as I'm currently on a 4024, ironically enough. So I do apologize of my formatting isn't up to my usual standard and I'll keep it rather short.

    I can't see this discussion going into a healthy direction, so I'm going to close it.

    Needless to say, the forums are not going to get closed. Healthy, respectful and constructive discussions are always welcome, this is what these forums are for after all.

    I will check for any necessary actions once I'm in front of my PC again, but for now I ask you to keep it civil and respectful.
    If you can't agree with someone, disengage.

    All the best and enjoy your weekend,
    Jan
