know why the hut worked so well for conversation?

Because we had no filter in there. You could literally just use a hammer and make a forum post with it, and by everyone else just turning off the filter, we had our conversation starter and we went somewhere, alright.
So what you see now, is what happens if you insist on having a standard on a forum with virtually no substance. You go around locking and merging threads that don't have an immediate purpose, and now the only thing that gets reliable traction are peanut threads, and maybe the odd thread with the absolute minimum action treshold.
Our variety is absolutely dreadful. The only thing we seem to want to talk about, is talking trash on ban appeals. This has got to change, or else this forum is just plainly not worth sticking around for anymore. Bring back the hut, or change something to make off-topic more like it, and we'll get some more life in here. Otherwise, what are we even doing here? I was having a good time when the hut was up, I think most people had a good time, and now it's just all work and no play, it just does not feel fun to post anything in here anymore. This has got to change, and you will agree, we want the excitement from the chaos and madness of our space station game to also translate into the forum, and go with it, and not this dodgy peanut-poster club that just waits for the next weak appeal, like doves waiting to get fed by an irresponsible old lady.

I could certainly stand to start more interesting threads. In fact, I don't think I've started a single one (I just checked I only started one).
The forums are a bit of a graveyard but that begs the question: what do they offer and what do they offer better than Discord does?
I'm actually almost interested enough to take a field trip through the forums for all the other spaceman servers.

Well, they offer conversational continuity past the last 5 minutes if theres a topic people are actually interested in for a start. That's a good thing and occasionally a bad thing.
They also put themselves better to more structured thought out posts, but that's also a downside because it encourages big conceited rants.

better long-term archival and a separation from the fast-paced discord, which leads to more nuanced and thought out discussion.

I fundamentally disagree that it worked well for conversation. It gave the guise of a consequence-free board that in fact was not consequence-free, leading to people posting downright hateful and vitriolic things, spamming, and making """"ironic"""" posts that do all of the above under a flimsy veil. Off topic was never meant to replace the hut, though you can have conversation here; before we were overtaken by schizophrenics, topics like watercooler chat had consistent, pleasant conversation in them. Maybe consider if the things that you want to talk about are worth talking about, or if your thoughts are worth posting an entirely new thread for rather than an existing one, as new threads fragment conversation and make it harder to hold one. Threads without an immediate purpose amplify this issue severely, so if your complaint is that a conversation can't be reliably held here, you should be in favor of removing them.
And by the way, I agree that constant peanut threads discussing ban appeals are lame as fuck. I see that you're burning out on them now too, but guess what the most popular hut threads were towards its end? Also peanut threads. In-between topics were one-post mundane garbage like "lol funny animal" or some other shit that also is not "conversation" as you would put it. If you want that kind of thing, I'm fairly certain the discord has a shitposting channel where you can spam away and be ignored without wasting space on a static board like this one.
Basically, you're clear on what you want here, but you seem confused as to why you don't have it and are misattributing the actions of moderation for it. If you want me to go fully hands off, you can expect a board flooded full of even more garbage with even less discussion and a continuous stream of worthless peanut threads, the antithesis of your desires.

the hut didn't work for conversation it worked for shitposting
it was good because threads were temporary and people could post the dumbest fuckin takes (of which i had many) and only people who actually used the forums would see it
it was perfect for peanut threads because after the ban/note appeal was all said and done the thread would die and everyone would have said their peace and it didn't clog up the whole board because it would disappear in a couple days
for the most part what happened in the hut stayed in the hut and few cared to bring hut drama to the greater forums (those who did were shitters), it was the best example of a containment board i've seen on any forum
that being said, any forum that needs a containment board to keep people from derailing everything else just kinda has a shitty userbase

Yeah, you convinced me a long time ago this place would be a lot more fun and active if we brought back the dedicated shitpost board.
This place is not that active nowadays and it makes things worse when posts and entire threads are deleted by moderators who expect higher quality contributions when a lot of the regular posters (I guess the "schizophrenics" PKPenguin's referring to, which is bigoted) are too lazy or disinterested to provide them.
I used to enjoy the forum more before the Discord for threads like Little Things You've Learned that Can Be Game Changing and other ones I don't remember but for things like giving tips or recounting interesting rounds or sharing screenshots or discussing other games or even other interests like TV shows but it seems like the Discord has largely rendered these types of threads redundant. Which is a shame, especially if you don't like Discord as I personally don't.

Im not a big fan of big discord servers cuz people constantly change their names and avatars and talk so much its hard to keep track. Its also full of contentless shit posting like people all posting the same animated gif of a cat or a lizard in sequence or enterung a conversation to say "lizard" or "trans rights" or "amogus"

This is one of the many reasons why Discord is the worst.
I remember one time I had a question about a game on this one server, and a bunch of people there said "message X, he'll help you". So I shoot a PM to X and he says "Oh sorry, I'm not X. I just changed my name to his for laughs. His name is actually Y right now".

Yeah exactly, you can put out a thought here and hold it for a few days. On discord, you can't even hold one for a single minute. Plus, all the constant name and avatar swaps are impossible to keep ontop of if you don't go into posting-uberdrive there, and as you guys have said, a big portion of discord is just posting gifs and videos, and I don't need to piss into the culture that the people there prefer, I'm merely advocating that we get BACK what we had, so we have our own culture circle, and they keep theirs.
The thing that made the hut so great is not compatible with discord. And by the way, I haven't thrown any punches, but if you're just going to hit me with "suck dick" for this completely normal post I made, I'll just tell you to 1. Grow out of puberty first and 2. find a girlfriend that does it for a price that you can afford. Until then, don't even start with this garbage, I'm a person too and I got other things to put up with, let's just stay on a level playing field here, alright?
I think in particular, it was the threads automatically deleting themselves that defined the hut the most. Admins always talk about the lack of rules there, which I don't think are necessary to have a good hut. I think it can do with a minimalistic ruleset that bars the most extreme of vitriol and other equally unpleasant things. But as long as this mechanic is in place, you will always have the most active threads on top, threads that lose interest are slowly consumed by time, and much like thoughts that one possesses, it empowers you to just throw them out there, see what people think, and once everyone has moved on, it will disappear and make room for a new one. I want this specific thing again, more than anything else, and I think it will do wonders to kick up engagement here again.

Engagement from people who specifically have proven they're only here for drama. Again, you're saying you want a video game forum to cultivate a separate community from the game to personally entertain you. The more sane option would be finding a separate community to suit your needs instead of trying to force this one to be what you want.

I don't know what kind of movies you have been watching lately, but I'm not Patrick Bateman alright, this forum has died down immensely from back when I first came here, and I'm bringing up a few things that I believe were important to keep it alive. I struggle to view your claims in good faith, I don't see how encouraging any activity or community period is me building my own "personal ego stroking entertainment club", and I also don't see why you keep bringing up that this is a video game forum, like it wasn't when the hut was in full force? Just feels incredibly condescending to put these statements to my name, like I'm a deranged idiot and huge narcissist for bringing up examples of the past, where I felt we had a good community, great moments and non-stop action, to show what we could do to move into that direction again.
And listen, all this "tehe, just leave idiot, tehe" non-sense falls flat on me, because if I genuinely feel worse after visiting here, time and time again, and you sit around and insist that this is great, I will peace out and go to another server. I'm not tethered to this server any more than all the other people that used to be around here, and if you want to wallow in your own misery, I will let you, but I won't stick around to cheer you on.

Well I mean, OP definitely goes out of his way to antagonize people around the forum pretty consistently, so that's why the reaction he gives confuses me. It's not like you can switch on "Good faith mode" and expect people to treat your thread like it exists in a vacuum.

Okay no, this is actual insanity. The guy spends his time being a bastard around the place, but then gets belligerent and ultimatum-y that his pet good faith thread wasn't given open arms. That's just called cause and effect. You show people 'a way back' on the internet and you're going to get exactly what you got before.

Just don't be a dick. It's not difficult. We're in an internet community, not a cliquey high school.
If you have a problem with somebody's past actions, it's fine to be upfront and confront them on it. But being snarky, snide, and passive-aggressive says more about you than it does about the person your behaviour is directed towards.
BM has posted some dumb takes in the past couple of months, but nothing deserving this level of mean-spiritedness.

Just don't be a dick. It's not difficult. We're in an internet community, not a cliquey high school.
If you have a problem with somebody's past actions, it's fine to be upfront and confront them on it. But being snarky, snide, and passive-aggressive says more about you than it does about the person your behaviour is directed towards.
I'm rude upfront, fuck you.

BM has posted some dumb takes in the past couple of months, but nothing deserving this level of mean-spiritedness.
If there's any sort of high-school grade emotional intelligence being displayed here, it's this post. Nobody's trying to go out of their way to spite anyone here, it's just people leaving their takes in what they thought was a bad idea, 'n some folks who usually take the piss taking the piss. Making it out to be anything more than that is disingenuous.
