New Shmup SubReddit r/shmupSTG
Hey Everyone,
So in the wake of the troubles the community has been having with r/shmups, I have decided to create a new subreddit for the community r/shmupSTG. The purpose of this subreddit is to be an open place where people can feel comfortable posting about shmup content without too much moderator intervention. I do recognize that r/danmaku exists and I am a part of that subreddit, but I am worried that the name of that reddit might be too specialized for further growth for new people looking to find shmup content. If Temporary1990 wants to hop over and be a moderator on r/shmupSTG though, I'd be cool with that.
I do recognize that this is the shmups forum, and if you guys don't care about reddit that's fine. I just think reddit is a great place to draw new people into the community through, so having some kind of positive presence on there would likely be beneficial for everyone.
Additionally, another reason why I wanted to create shmupSTG was to have a place where we could have scoring competitions without interference. So even if r/shmups remains the go to for promotion and stuff like that, I still encourage everyone to check into shmupSTG for the monthly (or so) scoring competitions. Another future goal of mine is to have the subreddit be a place you can go to find more game play oriented content, rather than just discussions about new releases and stuff like that. So to kick things off I am organizing a March ZeroRanger Team scoring competition, it should be a bunch of fun if people decide to participate.
I have no idea if this will succeed ultimately, but I thought it would be worth while to at least give it a try.
Here is a link to the subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/shmupSTG/
Cheers.

Subbed! Be careful who you give modship to, I guess.

Don't have a Reddit account, but this seems like a good time to get one. Will sub soon.
Good job on all your content here on the forum, by the way; I tend not to post much, but it certainly hasn't gone unnoticed.

Ya that's probably true, but maybe if we can get both to show up when you search for "shmups" on reddit, people will be inclined to take a look at both at least.qmish wrote:Unfortunately would be hard to SEO it.

We've taken some steps to increase visibility. https://www.reddit.com/r/SHOOTEMUPS now has a message redirecting people to Mark's sub. It's not much but it's a start.qmish wrote:Unfortunately would be hard to SEO it.

Subbed. Been on the internet long enough to have become exceptionally tired of power-crazed internet shitlords running things.

I'm liking the new sub. The old one was horrible, glad this one has a sensible mod.

Re: New Shmup SubReddit r/shmupSTG
What was wrong with this place that a need was felt to corral people to somewhere worse?
Of course, that's just an opinion.

Nothing. Reddit is just the hip place to be, I guess. Even though it's full of idiots.
I feel like some of the people that post there only do so to see how low the bar can be set.

Re: New Shmup SubReddit r/shmupSTG
Is there a reddit that just shows all the posts, like a forum, instead of childproofing every other one like a box of fucking vitamins.

I want to enjoy riveting Sopranos discussion, but all that extraneous clicking makes me want to go outside and burn ants with a magnifying glass. I promise my little boipucci can withstand the scary/mean words, I have choked out and fucked many a rude Corn Pop on these scawy internet streets.

Re: New Shmup SubReddit r/shmupSTG
Can you explain a bit more what the difference between the main subreddits are?
The only difference is moderator intervention? So in what way did moderators intervene in the older one?
