I don't think Petie can state for a 5th time that the forum is not being put into read-only in FAVOUR of Discord. They are completely unrelated to one another. We aren't closing the forum because of Discord, we are not continuing the run our Discord because we are closing the forum. We aren't in control of the forum software, just as we are not in control of Discord...
I really don't understand what you're requesting we do here; do we continue to operate a NEW forum, with all the vulnerabilities and lack of updates that we currently experience, completely from fresh, with the similar low engagement of this forum in its current state, and confusing between what is the archive and the new version? Because that sounds... awful. We have explained already that the software the forum runs on is not made by us - we aren't able to force them to keep working on it. We also cannot operate it independently with just Petie and I behind what is software made by dozens.
Again, we aren't closing the forum because of Discord.
We don't run a Discord server because we're closing the forum.
These are completely unrelated.
