Welcome to BiB Gaming! - swigginwhiskey - 05-25-2026
BRING IT BACK!
We've all thought it at least once.
We miss the days of MW2 on Xbox.
The TF2 days on PC.
The old retro games we used to play on Gamecube.
And the days where CoD actually tried to keep us there (CoD 5 OG Zombies!)
The horrible quality mics.
The unfiltered, unmoderated, shit show that it was.
We miss the slow pace community. Discord is great, don't get me wrong... but since they pretty much poached the entire gaming population away from things like TeamSpeak, we've seen relevant and pertinent information related to gaming slowly go away and get replaced with a noise that seems to never turn off or quiet itself even slightly.
Instant chat has its place.
But we are severely lacking in community driven forums that are not privatized for the sole purpose of generating leads or funneling traffic to other related products. We're lacking in slow paced environments, where everyone has the chance to connect with each other, rather than getting drowned out in a wave of chat replies.
Forums died off years ago, with social media in my opinion being the driving force behind that. Social media started to expand in an attempt to incorporate basically every "social" function on the internet and shove it into their platform. We stopped visiting site A for their reviews. We abandon the experts' knowledge on site B. And site C... well, they never stood a chance. Social media feels all-encompassing. It is that exact feeling that I am trying to remove myself from.

So... here I am. In a potentially feudal attempt at bringing back a small sliver of what the Internet used to be. What we used to do. In these trying times, sometimes it's nice to be somewhere familiar... but different. It gives us a break from the noise.
We've all thought it. But none of us have acted on it. So, ladies and gents, I present to you: Bring it Back! Gaming
My hobby project that I am attempting to bring into the limelight...
Hopefully, you see the vision. And hopefully, you want to contribute.
I'll see you in The Lobby! Ready up!
