The level of drama in this thread is wild, as is the continued implication that we're "abandoning" the forum in favor of other platforms. I'm going to use you as an example here since yours is the last post but this is by no means specific to you and applies to the forum as a whole. Before today, your last post here was in mid-October - nearly 8 months ago. The simple fact is that forums, with rare exceptions, are dead and very unlikely to make any kind of meaningful return. For the record, Dazz and I both still love and prefer this format but it makes no sense to continue to maintain outdated and infrequently updated software that nobody is using. The Discord is there for those that want to chat and we'll be pushing the wiki a lot harder in the future for the sake of searchable (and far more permanent) information sharing and documentation. With those two things in mind and the fact that extremely few people even still visit here, let alone post, led to the decision to ultimately retire the forum when the new site launches. It will be archived and left online so nothing posted here will be lost - you just won't be able to post or register here after that date.
This seemed like the best compromise though we're willing to listen to reasonable alternatives. And in the event that forums ever did make some kind of comeback, we're certainly not against creating a new one on more modern software.
