Daniel (@dungeondive) announces the new digital home for the community: Dungeon Dive Quest at dungeondive.quest. After years of battling Facebook’s algorithmic whims—where posts vanish into the void and threaded conversation is impossible—the Dungeon Dive finally has a proper old-school forum. A generous patron covered hosting for two to three years, and the community has been quietly testing it for about six months.
The forum features dedicated sections for creators and designers seeking feedback, general dungeon diving discussion, music and hi-fi gear chat, crowdfunding campaigns, digital games, and books and movies. Patrons get access to a siloed subforum and invitations to the monthly ‘Coffee with the Dungeon Dive’ Zoom sessions—two-and-a-half hours of Sunday morning camaraderie. Daniel’s excitement is palpable: real threaded discussion, proper search, the ability to post images, and a place to build lasting friendships the way he has through forums for over twenty years.
What’s your favourite memory of old-school forum culture—the kind of connection that social media algorithms just can’t replicate?
