I’m really sad to hear of the news that this forum will no longer exist.
I’ve been on here since the early 2000s.
This place was a big part of my life.
I’ve met a lot of really good people over the years.
Honestly without the forum I’ll probably have more time to spend on other things like housework and spending more time with my pets.
I’ll probably work on my health a bit more.
I’ve spent a lot of hours socializing on the forum.
I’m not going to Anon my account.
Just going to ride into the sunset.
Thank you @SzAdmin and all of you guys for keeping me afloat all of these years.
Love you all.
Goodbye.

Back when the forum shut down for a week or so a couple years back, some of us made a couple different sites to try to keep everyone together. I opened up a trial discourse server and with others opened up a server that was not discourse. The site came back online and appeared to be stable again so it kind of all got shuffled aside.
I couldve afforded a discourse server back then. I cant now, though. If I was still in the same financial position, I would offer to start a site. Now, however, my finances are wrapped up in the house and marriage.
Oh well. We all have a month to decide how we can keep in touch or where we will move to.

What about Discord? I know nothing of how to set one up but I wonder if someone would be able to do that? I’m not that tech savvy

I thought patreon was for game development?

No that is just one category using the site. It’s for “content creators” and funding communities.

So, fund through patreon and then open up another discourse site?
Someone would have to be in charge of this.

I personally would prefer if we could start a discourse site. I like this format. Maybe we could fund through patreon as @Mars suggested. We just need someone to take charge. Maybe we could make a thread for volunteers to do so and then once we have all the volunteers, make a poll to vote for whichever of those the community would want to take charge?

Ive only been here 18 months. But Ive actually found a very safe place here, more than any therapy session or group meeting. The idea of not being here is causing me great concern and upset.
Forum shuts down?
Why? When?
