There is no need to came out and advertise yourself as non-sex having, never touched grass and never touched a woman.
Imagine using "touch grass" unironically on the Codex
He meant to say grace. Touch grace.

As an illustration, just look when everyone in this thread joined.
Sorry but that's bollocks, I lurked for years and I assume others did. Some people you can tell came from a faggy imageboard*, were being edgy and shitposting for the sake of it is all they know.
Join date is a retarded thing to focus on imo.
Yeah, my join date is recent and yet I remember the Dex "closing" sometime at the end of 2011. I also remember SuicideBunny's passing, I didn't know him or even engage with him, but he was a fellow Vistula tribesman so it got to me a bit. I've been visiting the Dex probably from around its inception. Sure, most of my impressions are not as deep as they would be if I had been a member, most users were an amorphous blob spewing opinions and game info, but I still have many memories from simply lurking. I'd like to emphasise that this is my first account, I've never been banned, I didn't forget I had one. I'm just that weird guy in front of the bar looking in through the window and watching people have fun (or beat each other senseless with bar stools). One day I just decided to step in.

Is the Codex a good place to be?

I see people mentioning nu-shit platforms like discord here. I've never used that stuff myself and I don't even know what it is properly. I assume it's a type of group chat thing, where you can create various groups dedicated to specific topics. Or something like that.

Anyway, am I the only one who's never used that shit?

* If you're over 20 years old and still browse them.. why? It's teenage retards and shitposters, zero discussion and a lack of decorum. Worst part is the regurgitation of points that you've read over and over again, that still baits the same retards. It does happen here but not to the same extent it happens on imageboards.

What else am I going to read, the rest of the internet is just as shit if you're discussing entertainment (games, politics, current events, etc) AND you can't call out the retards, instead you have to pretend their stunted opinions are worth as much as yours in order to maintain civility, like IRL.

I keep getting banned on reddit for inane reasons and honestly when I use it I have to resist the impulse of calling everyone lots of names.

I tried using reddit like 3-4 times, but every time I got reprimanded that I'm violating some r00000les, my posts got removed, so I gave up.

I'm not banned yet, so you're ahead :)
Not banned yet? Lol, that's cute, really.
See you in the halls of the banned, soon.
My hot neighbor moved out after I made this thread. I'm feeling a little bit depressed now.
Jews made your hot neighbor move so you wouldn't have sex
Can the jews make it so that the neighbor moves next to me?
Only if it benefits Israel

Where is "What is dead may never die, but rises again, harder and stronger" option?

Edit: as for forums dying (not just the Codex) - you have to be on a smartphone, because everybody is using that to communicate nowadays. Only you can't really have deep conversations on the phone and the Codex is simply not formatted well for that (unless there is some app for that. I wouldn't know, because my old phone doesn't have enough memory to download any new apps and I don't really need to post when I am not at home, and then my PC is always the better option for posting anyway).

The Codex is eternal.

The most evolved and enlightened people will always gravitate towards forums.

Forum users are the internet aristocracy.
Indeed, I'm so proud to be part of this aristocracy. A lurker? Come join us in the prestigious RPG Codex!

I heeded the call of nobility. When do I get my servants and riches?
Right now good sir, every servants and riches you could wish for
