Which luckily, this blog has little do to with.

warning, if you're not interested in nostalgic rants, and grandiose thinking, this may not be the blog for you.

My thoughts

So, I've been a frequenter of 64Digits since early 2006, a whole 6 years have passed since then, and a lot has changed. V2 came around, and after god knows how long, so did V3. I remember the days where marbs, desertfox, sleepingjohnnyfish, jakex, that joshdreamy guy, twisterghost and people of the such were here, developing games and other cool things. When blogs weren't only about how much we hated each other, and how sad we were.

What I'm trying to get at is, 64D is the place I came when I was young, and was just starting to develop games. There were people I looked up to, people I aspired to be. Now, I don't want to burst any of your bubbles, but it's no longer the same. Maybe it's for the better, or maybe not, but personally, I don't like it.

When I hear people say "64Digits is dead," it get's me thinking. 64D was the place for GM users to come and chat, without being bombarded by morons (ex, the GMC). The amount of GM users has only increased, and GM is getting more and more advanced, albeit rather slowly, but still advancing nonetheless. With GM:Studio here, it's opened GM up to more professional users, and more possibilities. GM is evolving, but we here at 64D have been stagnant since 2009.

Personally, I really think 64D is capable of being something much larger and greater. It's well known, well respected, and it's got a great community (there's a lot of us 'old beans' still around).

So, I think 64Digits should expand. It should expand its focus, its userbase, and most importantly, its goals. However, I don't think this is possible with the way the site is set up currently. Honestly, I can't tell if 64D is a game development community, or a blogging community with some game developers. Heck, maybe everyone is fine with that, and if that's the case, disregard this.

So I want to hear your guys opinions. Are you happy with what 64D is now? Would it be worth reevaluating things?
