when they switch to Discord becaus of mastercard everyone know the forum is dying.
No, we did not, and still do not, know that the forum is dying. It is less active than it used to be, but there is still plenty of interest that can be found in the discussions there.
There are quite a few of us that for various reason are unable to join Discord and even more that simply do not want to plus several that have declared that they have tried it and have abandoned it.
What I find rather problematical is that when joined iStripper (actually VirtuaGirl) Totem stated quite clearly that they would never give third parties our details - but they now require us to do that ourselves if we want to continue to receive the full service that we originally enjoyed. They have not broken the promise, but have side-stepped it.
There is arguably a good, pragmatic, reason for suggesting Discord as an alternative place, somewhere where users can post images, but I can think of no good reason why such things as this vote, or images posted by the team themselves, are only available via Discord.
