A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I’ve been a member of a discord community for over 6 years now. On any given night you’ll find people playing anything from Battlefield 6, Arc Raiders, Overwatch 2, etc. It’s a very active community with weekly events and we even have a sim racing group finishing up another season in iRacing. If it sounds interesting, they have a website for applications Over 30 Clan

Apologies if this is considered soliciting. I don’t get many opportunities to mention it and it’s honestly a great community. It took me a long time to find one of this quality.

For me, the problem is not that you're soliciting, it's that you're redirecting people towards a closed platform (Discord). If your forum were fediverse enabled, like bbnode or piefed, it would be so much easier for people to interact with you.

I hear ya. It’s all I use discord for. The community has been around since 2010 so it got built all around discord.

Have you considered making an alternative social sport on the threadiverse. For more asynchronous discussions and as a backup location in case you have any discord issues?

I’m just a member but I’m sure the moderators would be open to hearing about the idea.
