I plan to keep on with the Site the staff are still in production with. You better believe I plan to make sure there is a peasant/pauper cube space that will surpass the one we have her on MTGSally as I get to be more involved in its setup and while im not perfect I like to think I have contributed to the growth of our community.
Just signed up on Riptide to copy my cube blog over and can't say I'll be using it going forward.
No dedicated boards for different cube styles such as Peasant/Pauper, no general Magic discussion board, no one tagging their discussion posts or even damn cube blogs with the cube type either.
On top of that the rich text editor was infuriating to work with (with no preference to switch the default), the Edit popup box doesn't work at all and requires me to hit More Options to go to a separate page, decklist tags are a totally manual process and still come out with no clear way to create multiple columns, quick reply box retains the size of the last posting and freaks out when you touch it again, no styling options which means the light blue on white all blends together.
Sadly there just isn't a good option for cubes right now. Discord is just a constant stream of random thoughts with no filter, Reddit is ephemeral in design and doesn't work well for threads that will span years, and Twitter is similar.

Just from looking at it, it looks fine. We can just be a collection of new faces that contribute in fantastic ways.
No dedicated board for Peasant cubes? I imagine making one wont be hard. Nobody posting their cube in their signature? I'm sure if a loudly spoken crowd of people start doing it, perhaps others will too.

No, I didn't mean linking to their cube in their signature, I meant actually labeling what their cube is.
Just going down the list in the Cube Blogs page we have the following, none of which tell me anything about the type of cube it is.
"The Train Station"
"Secret Project"
"N0oh's cube (permanent) rework"
"Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube"
"Latro's cube (480)"
"Kirblinx's Type 4 Communal Stack" -- Finally, some context, thank you.
These issues go away if you either have distinct discussion boards to post in or support some form of labeling/tagging.
My issue is that this is a dedicated Cube forum, one that's been around for years, that doesn't seem to have any structure and is running on a horribly outdated version of XenForo.
I already post some on Twitter, so I'll definitely be continuing to do that (link is sig, shameless plug). I don't care for Discord because it's so hard to keep up with. You work all day and check it on lunch or something and there's 100+ missed messages. I just don't have it in me to go back and read through that. I see Discord as more of a quick opinion request rather than a real discussion platform. Like a live version of the this or that thread. I do occasionally browse and post on Reddit, though as others have said, it's not ideal for long form discussions or threads that might contain relevant info that you can go back years from now and check out. (like our rank everything thread, or single card discussions) As for other forum options, currently there's just nothing as good as MTGS, and that's saying a lot because, imo, MTGS went down hill quite a bit with the Curse revamp. So, for me, I have faith that whatever the MTGS site staff is working on will serve at least a similar purpose and function to what we currently have with MTGS. Honestly, as sad as it is to see MTGS go, I'm looking forward to seeing what those folks have up their sleeve.
I personally love Discord. I think the structure of a discord group is great for building a community. Join our peasant cube discord now: https://discord.gg/2ZryxaU
It has come to my attention that MTGS will come to an end.
Where will we C/UBERS make our discussion?

EDIT: Oh sweet, there's a 2013 admin thread that talks about some of the visual issues and already being out of date on XenForo versions.

MTGS Average Peasant Cube 2023 Edition
Follow me. I tweet.
But the mods are still going forward with their spinoff website MTGNexus.
Way to split the communities!
Draft it on Cubetutor here, and CubeCobra here.
Treasure Cruise did nothing wrong.
should be interesting.
