You probably forgot you subscribed to this, or even WHY you subscribed to this. I'm in the same boat. I think about this subreddit sometimes. It comes up randomly in my mind and I'm like "oh right r/truegamegrumps is a thing I guess." But it's incredibly inactive. Why? Because it serves no purpose. We are "true" fans, but what does that mean? What value does that have?

At the moment, very little to none. It's a place where you can ask a question without being downvoted or insulted. That's it, really. I skimmed through the posts that were put in here, and that's what I was seeing.

I hate seeing subreddits die, even if they don't seem to serve much more of a purpose than an already existing subreddit. So what can we do to set this one apart from r/gamegrumps?

I recommend a r/gaming vs. r/games scenario.

r/gaming is a place where people go to post and laugh about video games. It's for non-serious and serious alike. A massive hub for all things video games. Much in the same way that r/gamegrumps is a place for all things Game Grumps, which includes JonTron, and things related to the cast of Game Grumps without being directly tied to what's strictly on the channel. It's a place for people to post open letters to the grumps and the community, discuss episodes, find news about Game Grumps, make dick jokes, post fanart, etc.

r/games is where people go to have serious discussions about the video game industry, find news, and discuss stuff. It's a much more serious atmosphere. It can still be fun-loving, sure. But yeah. I don't know.

One thing I've noticed about r/gamegrumps is that if you say ANYTHING negative about the episodes or the Grumps, you're downvoted. Actual constructive criticism? "How dare you complain about free entertainment."

So why not make this subreddit a base of operations where we can discuss and critique Game Grumps? If we want to have a serious discussion about "they need to start learning how to play games before playing them" then post it here and let's start up a discussion. Want to ask questions to the community but don't wanna be judged, or want serious answers and intelligent conversation instead of quotes from the episodes? Awesome, let's do it.

I have nothing against r/gamegrumps, I'll have you know, and it's one of my favorite subreddits, but the hivemind is strong with it.

You can just ignore this if you want. Downvote with this if you think it's a bad idea, upvote if you like the idea. I get no karma from self posts, so there's that. Use the voting system on this website the way it's meant to be used. :P
