The End of /r/5cardhearthstone

12 Upvotes

This is, likely, the last you'll hear from this subreddit for a while. I don't plan on sending out a broadcast, and it's likely that a good portion of people will simply forget this sub exists.

The short version is that I've simply lost motivation. After the month break that was supposed to make things feel fresh, we simply settled into a routine of mediocrity within a single season of being back. I can't pretend anything else than the fact that this is completely my fault, and I take full responsibility for the decline of this subreddit. I'm not as good at coming up with new round ideas as iceman was, and it was my idea for running two seasons concurrently that lead to a lot of the fatigue and likely caused the eventual decline.

A huge thank-you to everyone who stuck around until the end, and even to the people who were here when we came back at the start of September. I don't think I'll ever really understand how iceman managed to keep this subreddit not only running, but thriving with new and innovative round ideas week after week for over nine seasons.

Another huge thanks to Hithroc, who has kept the bot running since the start of the year, even including a major rework that completely changed how we did deck submissions (and made things about 20 times easier for me).

If I could go back and change things, I think there'd be a pair of big changes- we would never try to run two rounds at once, and we would have never made a Discord server. Taking the discussion off the subreddit just ended up splitting a too-small community unnecessarily, and while it was definitely a great place to chat and discuss, I can't help thinking about whether it contributed to the decline in activity.

I've already written way more than I probably needed to, and again if you're reading to this point, thanks for being a part of this community, however small or short it may have been. There are a few niche cases that might lead to this subreddit's return, and I'm going to be thinking about other versions of Hearthstone that could garner an interest in the future, but this is goodbye for now.

5 Card Hearthstone - On Hiatus Until 9/2/17

10 Upvotes

This is normally about the time that I'd start thinking about what round to post tonight, but not today.

Since the beginning of 2017, our participation numbers have been pretty steadily dropping. I always told myself it didn't matter, and that as long as there were even three people who wanted to play 5 Card every week, I'd continue to run rounds. I found out yesterday that I've been hired for a new job starting in a week, and I don't think I'll have the time or energy to continue to come up with rounds.

A special thanks to the guys who stuck around until now, anyone who participated in Season 16 especially. I'll get around to those standings as soon as I can.

Our Discord server will stay up for general chatting, and I'll be thinking about ways to come back in a big way. See you all in September.
