How on earth does exposing your vital organs protect you from spears, swords, etc?

It is scary how I can see everything clearly now but I couldn’t before. It legitimately scares me. The only thing that changed in my life is my mood state. Nothing concrete changed, but I couldn’t see a future for me earlier and now I can.
If you are depressed, please remember that depression lies. It is a fucking liar. There is a cloud preventing you from seeing how things really are; your hopelessness is being created by a distorted perception. Don’t let this distorted perception take over you.

I'd say the only active thread is that 81 page Danganronpa roleplay. Kinda amazed at it.

If you think that's impressive you should look at the old ones, couple of those surpassed 100 pages. They're active enough, though nowadays they're somewhat running out of steam.

Yeah it's natural, plus there's a heavy Discord presence of CR users nowadays anyway so the forum's purpose has diminished a fair bit by other mediums.

Discord and Twitter have replaced forums as a whole though, so it's not just C-R. I was in a different Ace Attorney Discord up until recently, and it was full of teenagers who had never heard of the C-R forums or just found forums in general difficult to use with how much text there is compared to writing short bursts of instant messages. In my own AA server, we only look at C-R as a product of the past, mainly joking about how dated the forum signatures from 2007 are... haha. I think the AA fandom is interesting 'cause it's stuck around for so long. You can really see the late 2000's internet culture through it.
Sorry if that was kinda off-topic.

Least if I was looking for a message board or forum that'd be my first shout when looking for AA stuff if I didn't know about CR these days.
Which is a bit of a shame because this individualised forum has so much personality compared to most reddits I see.

I barely used the CR Discord server when it was active, but ever since it merged with the Ace Attorney Discord from the subreddit, I really don't want anything to do with it. Most of my experience with the Ace Attorney subreddit hasn't been that positive.

Spoiler: Possibly only due to the size of the subreddit
Also, the AA subreddit like 2008 C-R forums in terms of their acceptance of non het ships LOL. Not that I would ever go to Reddit for that, but from what I've seen, people will reply to any post even if it's not targeted towards them.
Didn't know that the two Discords were merged, was wondering why the one linked on the forums had so many people and such an official looking page. But that's kind of disappointing, if it's a /r/aceattorney server as well then I'll probably never use it.

This conversation is feeling all too familiar, like it's one every forum nowadays is discussing, lol. I personally like forums best, but even I'll admit it's been easier to connect to people via Twitter and Discord. It's unfortunate, but it's just the changing trends with the times.

From your lips to Capcom's ears, man... if we get AA7 at this point, I'll be (pleasantly) surprised.
Though I wasn't around for the original forum, I think C-R was pretty active back in the day! Lots of love about the characters and story, discussion about motives, pairings, sprite edits, fanfiction, fanart, other fanworks, etc...well, I'm sure it wasn't perfect, but I enjoyed the time spent here, and the interactions with others. I didn't participate in roleplays or games then, or too much IRL discussion, so I can't comment on those.

Oh yeah it was pretty great. The spritework and fancases that people did were especially good. Roleplay section thrived pretty nicely as well. I mean not that the roleplays we do now are BAD, the Zero Escape and Dangan Ronpa ones are fantastic, but there were loads and loads of roleplays on back then and now these ones are just one at a time.

Yeah it appears Discord/Twitter/reddit have almost completely replaced internet forums like these. I do miss the good old days (said late 2000's internet culture).
Maybe it's also the side-effect of getting older and wondering where all your fanboy/fangirl peers went!! I think /r/AceAttorney users skew fairly young now, which is kinda weird because the AA series started probs before some of these kids were even born. Did everyone else stop being AA fans??

We're still here XD Just older and got other things on now most likely. Including some literal lawyers.

Well, Ace Attorney continuously draws in new fans by having new port releases, so there's bound to be younger people. I was thinking that Reddit's userbase isn't even that young compared to other social media, but I guess when you compare it to a fanbase like Ace Attorney where everyone who got into the games originally is 28+ years old now... Everyone's probably busy with work or getting married or whatever older people do.
C-R and the PW Kink Meme are probably the only 'active' places on the internet with mostly older members who played AA in 2007.

The second you buckled to another group, took THEIR rules and THEIR culture as more important than your own, you lost the soul of CR.
Every time CR changed to try and stay relevant it lost more and more people.
This is Neo-CR, the TRUE forums died back in 2016. It took me 2 years to realize that, and another two to fully accept it.
Stop looking at the number of people here, stop trying to appeal to people who won't stay.
It didn't work for comics, it's not working for comedy, and it won't work for CR.
Look at how often people come back, promote topics worth talking about.
If you build it, they will come.

2016 was a peak year for forum activity, was it not? We had both the anime and a new mainline installment, discussion threads were piling up, and Cat and I were still yelling at each other about that thing.

I don't think there's any single factor that can justifiably be blamed for our declining userbase. I do think Discord, Reddit, and social media have contributed by giving us new competition, so there is that. I think another factor, though, is that there's only so much Ace Attorney to discuss; a lot of topics that new players are likely to be interested in are topics that veterans are likely to no longer be interested in discussing, having already talked about them years ago. Also, as Pierre and milaza pointed out, a lot of us have just got other things to focus on now, and the non-AA content here is insufficient to keep us especially active.
I'm also just generally of a different viewpoint than DoMaya appears to be of in these "Ship of Theseus" discussions, so I can't say I agree with his insinuation that the "true forums" died. Frankly, I don't even know how we would define the "true forums" without being reduced to flowery drivel.

Am I the only one who remembers when we all talked about this forum becoming more broad in it's appeal regarding what games we covered?
Also I'd like to amend my testimony, It's not 100% the staff's fault. The exodus of the roleplayers to another forum (which happened around 2011?) was probably what led to the ultimate downfall of these forums.

I actually don't remember that at all. I suspect the fact that we never really followed through with expanding to other games might be a factor in why I have no memory of that suggestion.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was a factor, too, though that in turn raises the question of why they left, which brings us back to square one.

Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon, which cuts without wounding and ennobles the man who wields it. It is a sword that heals.
