Bethsoft had good traffic, no?
I agree. Many go head over heels to be the first, to be edgy, to cut out what they feel is old. Doesn't matter if it still works as a complement.

Yea their numbers might have not been the highest, but it was by far more than a few users. And a forum is dirt cheap to keep running. (in bill gates type money's eyes). So I do not think it was that. But I could be wrong. I just feel it was what you are saying causing them to think, lets just move it to discord.
There were easily a hundred different faces a day there if you combed through all the forums. Not much sure - but in my eyes mos def enough to justify keeping them.
I mean I was there and I was in the middle of proving my points and saying stuff and that enough is enough reason to keep a forum ! HAHA
So I am upset.

This is true. Until last week Beth.net registered an average of 100 new accounts per hour. This has slowed somewhat, as you might expect, but even now it has not stopped. As I write these words, Bnet gained 33 new members in the last hour. Currently, we have 5,450,511 members.

I had an account on that forum since before it went live, and I never used it, for example.

We moved here from Oregon last year. I fell in love with the place the moment I saw it. As a former student of architecture I love to walk around and gawk at all the beautiful Victorian architecture. I love the the rolling, wooded hills that surround our house. We were lucky to buy the place at an extremely cheap price: 2,300 sq ft on nearly half an acre of land. It offers a stunningly beautiful view of downtown Franklin from the upstairs windows. I feel right at home here.

Yea, I agree, has to be cause those numbers are ridiculous.
But my point is even if just 1 of them were a real person of true interest in the forums, that would be 1 person a hour. Which is imo a serious amount of traffic. Definitely enough to keep the forum alive *if traffic is a deciding factor*. So literally just 1% of that number being real (which is totally possible) would be justification to keep them alive.
Something aint right. I definitely suspect Aliens from beyond the Nirn have infiltrated Bethesda and they have a agenda. But just what that agenda is, we have yet to figure out.

I think so, yeah.
I’m all seriousness though, I think they used to have something called a Game Genie that you could get for consoles. It was more of a cheat device but it certainly did “mod” a given game’s code. They later had a similar device called a Game Shark that you could get for consoles. Again it was more of a cheat device, but I had one for Nintendo64 and you could tweak the gun coding in
Goldeneye007 and make new guns!

Eeep!
Just received a copyright claim on a TS2021 video I uploaded for publication Jun 18. The 'violation' is for music (what else?) played at video opening, an excerpt from the Andante Cantabile of Beethoven's Pathetique sonata. Thing is, the recording I use is downloaded from a site called Musopen, which specializes in free-to-use, copyright/royalty free classical music in the Public Domain. It is played by Paul Pitman, who is NOT the party filing the claim against me. (This is spelled out in the video's description and within the video narration itself.)
Somewhat against my better judgment, to the limited extent I have a better judgment, I filed a dispute. Knowing that YT rigs the system totally in the claimant's favor, I might be committing a grave mistake. All the claimant needs do is deny the dispute and I'm hosed. I won't get my channel terminated with one strike, assuming the claimant chooses to go that route, but I'll have to 'attend' copyright training and be super careful for an extended period, until the strike expires (assuming I get no further strikes within that period).
My hope is that the claimant is a 'honest actor' who will investigate the justifications my dispute provides and release the claim. Then again, there are plenty of 'bad actors' who make a livelihood off doing this sort of thing, knowing YT gives them full immunity to do so. Unless that pick on one of the elite channels who has enough sway to effectively combat it. We'll just have to wait and see, I reckon.
