First time being back here since last spring, and it looks pretty dead. Not surprising really with SCS creating their own forum, and the steam workshop. Plus lack of mods.
I know I'm not the only staff member who doesn't come by much here anymore. Should we close down while we still have some pride?

This place is like a refuge for the "old" ones, playing truck sims like forever.
Keep it alive - or atleast provide an alternative (like a facebook group or a discordapp chat). I'm also not very active here - but I would miss this place with its crazy people.

I would like to say keep Truckmodshop open. This is a place where we can find good quality mods for truck sim games.

Yeah, this place is kinda dead nowadays. But the community has changed a lot in recent years, facebook groups, the scs forums, etc. However, this is still a place to come to, for the most part, to escape all the bullshit drama from the social media side of trucksims. Who knows, maybe message boards will become a thing again. I'd say keep it open. Besides, you can't close down before truckpol

TMS is kind of dead like you said, but i don't think that is enough to close it down. I like coming here and posting screens now and then and seeing everyone elses stuff. I am on some FB groups but half of those children don't know what a truck even looks like. At least around here we (most of us anyway) know how to properly style a truck and so fourth. Idk it's really up to everyone obviously. I'd just leave it open until it becomes so dead only a few people come around a day. -Alan

I'm so sorry, it's my fault. I've added that scrublord Chris on FB and now he understood he don't need the forum anymore to witness my awesomeness.
Nope, keep it up. I'm still important enough for the forum to troll around!
/edit: Oh and Truckpol and SCS can both kiss my ass! We are what years in development for those shitty trucksims? and yet, we still use an overaged engine produced by a team of absolute ignorant idiots.

Please don't. I've been busy for my part but I always go back and check this forum once in awhile. Now the 389 have raised my interest in ATS a little bit again, so, I'll probably be posting more. Not like I'm important or whatever This place have been good to me. Made some real life friends and a tons of internet ones. I like it here. Don't close it

The SCS forum is essentially the new TruckPol, run by idiots so we'd need TMS as a safe haven to get away from that. In due time when more folks do learn to mod ATS, I can see this place hoppin' again.

Shit man I have been coming here for a long time and couldn't imagine what I would do if this forum closed. I don't get on facebook or any other social media sites. This place is home for me. Id like for it to stay.

Chris is drunken again. This post isn't serious I actually was serious, but I forgot we'd lose all the links to good stuff and downloads. Plus like kev said, we can still troll around. But it honestly sucks, we just passed the 7 year mark last april and I think there has been maybe a handful of stuff released this past year, if that. I think I'll do a rearrange, this time back to the original, how it was when this forum started. I've been kinda feeling bummed out at the layout.

Couldn't of said it any better myself. Forums as much as I don't like saying it, Forums actually need change every now and again to keep going. People get bored and tired of seeing the same thing every time they come to the forums. I personally don't mind, I come post what I want to then leave, unless there's something going down in the Post Your Funny Shit thread or in the shoutbox. I think Change would be the for the best around here.

I think closing down would be kind of extreme/unfortunate. Sure, a lot of the general discussion type stuff has migrated to Facebook, but TMS still has its strengths. Some favourable points vs. the SCS Forum: - Less whining (even factoring the ATS news/rumours topic)
- I can read more than five topics without somebody calling American trucks boxy, antiquated, etc. (mind you, it's a while before there are five new topics to read here so...)
- People here generally know what they're talking about, truck-wise.
- If something warrants using fuck, shit, piss, cock, cunt, sucker, motherfucker, tits, fart, turd or twat, you're in the clear.
- You must be this tall to ride.
- Dank memes
vs Zuckerbook: - You can actually find a post from more than a week ago without fighting with the world's shittiest search function
- People generally think before they post
- Fewer outbursts (see above)
- Some people don't do the whole social media thingamajig.
- You must be this tall to ride.
Edit: TRIPLE NICKEL!!! (my 555 th post)
