LOL. Quite the opposite. I'm just tired of seeing pages and pages of people suddenly going apeshit over the abandoned tag when it doesn't mean what the tag says. I honestly thing this site just loves the drama for the traffic it brings and does this stuff on purpose....damn u dudes care too much about what the name of the tag is......doesn't matter what the name is......same reactions will happen....u dum dums.....

For inactive games, there is an "on hold" tag that signifies that the Dev is still around, they just don't have time to work on the game. As for the "Abandoned" tag, I don't see it as an apocalyptic finality but as a "quick glance of the eye" way to see if a game has been updated while you're scrolling the site. Or a way to see if the developer has gone silent about it. I wish I could say the Abandoned tag helps with the classic "Update When?" question, but I've been surprised more than once on this site.I personally would get rid of abandoned altogether if it were my call. There is an implied finality in that tag and a LOT of people read that into it. Inactive allows the users to make up their own minds relative to how long the game has been inactive or if they have contact with the Dev by some other means.
There's just no way to ever know when/if a game has truly been abandoned short of the Dev saying "I'm done"
You're basically saying what I've been saying. You and I know the Abandoned tag doesn't actually mean abandoned. But there are many who take it as face value and it causing endless gnawing and nashing of teeth, many times for no reason when the game gets an update a week or a month later.For inactive games, there is an "on hold" tag that signifies that the Dev is still around, they just don't have time to work on the game.

MLC may not be dead as disco, but by F95zone rules, the dev has been gone for 3 months.
And yet posting one post after another into a game thread and discussing about the prefix "Abandoned" is right, wrong or wahtever.LOL. Quite the opposite.

Yeah, but now that the rant is out of my system, I feel better.And yet posting one post after another into a game thread and discussing about the prefix "Abandoned" is right, wrong or wahtever.
@ all, this goes most likely against rule 2 of the general rules.
Oh, I'm sorry. Am I annoying you with my opinion? Hmmm, maybe you should take your own advise and touch grass yourself.View attachment 3446760
dev will come back or not... do something else in the meantime... go touch grass... get married... get divorced... join a cult...
so many options... like bruh...
I still say they need to be consistent. Why 3 months for some and 6 or more months for others?

I touch grass every day. It's soft and feels good on the skin.Oh, I'm sorry. Am I annoying you with my opinion? Hmmm, maybe you should take your own advise and touch grass yourself.![]()
No, I am not saying what're you are saying. I am saying the abandoned tag means the dev abandoned the game. Whether temporarily, or permanently, this game is abandoned. And whether this game gets an update today, next week, next month, or next year, or, sadly, even never, it is still unoccupied, neglected, ditched, dumped, INACTIVE, or forsaken. Everyone knows what abandoned means, and it's well established here, and using a synonym wont make a difference.You're basically saying what I've been saying.

All I'm saying is change the name of the tag so that fewer people read too much into it.
And "On Hold" is different. That one is actually accurate because it's the Dev saying "I'm on a break" Will they ever come back? Who knows.
Because there are 20-odd staff and 17,000 games. They don't actively monitor the threads for "abandoned" / "inactive" / "missing in action" games. They rely on:I still say they need to be consistent. Why 3 months for some and 6 or more months for others? There's no consistency.
Still needs consistency. It's the same as site rules. People get warned really quick for bein a dick, others never get warned for it. The admins need to write up rules for the staff, so they aren't makin rules up as they go.Because there are 20-odd staff and 17,000 games.

Sometimes it happens within days of the 3 months ... sometimes longer. There are games that are over 2 years old which haven't had any word from the developer in about as long that haven't gotten the tag, either. Also, though, make sure your 6 month example threads don't have developers who are still semi-active in their social media accounts, showing to their subscribers and/or the public they are still interested in developing their game.
- People who use the REPORT button in a thread's first post to notify the staff of a game that hasn't had an update in a period of time and no word from the developer
- Their own personal list of games they like, and knowing personally
- Happening upon current conversations about update cycle while either browsing at their leisure or cleaning up shitshows in threads
Agree to disagree I guess then. I don't equate lack of communication to abandonment. Unless you mean the audience, which I guess you would make an argument. But working in silence on the game is still working on the game and not abandonment.No, I am not saying what're you are saying. I am saying the abandoned tag means the dev abandoned the game.

I think people who've been around can easily look at that tag and get it. If people want to hold out hope that an abandoned tag will disappear, well then they got more hope than I.
Again, much of it is based upon who gets reported and who doesn't.Still needs consistency. It's the same as site rules. People get warned really quick for bein a dick, others never get warned for it. The admins need to write up rules for the staff, so they aren't makin rules up as they go.
That's not how real life works.Still needs consistency. It's the same as site rules. People get warned really quick for bein a dick, others never get warned for it. The admins need to write up rules for the staff, so they aren't makin rules up as they go.
You don't think three months without a single peep isn't something to be concerned about?Agree to disagree I guess then. I don't equate lack of communication to abandonment.
