Official forums shutting down.

[Akaylas]

The forums are an atrocity against communication and should have been taken out back years ago. Unfortunately, that's a lot of archival data would be lost. If I had to put my money where my mouth is, I bet it's a security vulnerability.

I don't see the GMs suddenly being good at documentation and putting stuff up on the gswiki. If that was easy, why didn't they document things on the gswiki and simply reference links to it when posting on the forum or discord over the last few years?

I think it would be naive to expect that to improve in any significant way once the forums are deactivated

documenting / updating the gswiki has been viewed as, and will remain viewed as, poopy work ... crap that the less coding capable gms can maybe pick up when/if they have time

This almost has to be it, and it's been deemed not worth the money or effort to build a replacement/fix the existing 1990s-ass forums.

If that was the case, why wouldn't they just be forthcoming with that fact. Seems like it is a reasonable answer that people could understand and accept and move on.

As a rule, you do not advertise a vulnerability on your still active servers.

I blame Methais, who is overdue for his defenstration.

It's become clear now that Betty White was the only thing left standing in the way of Simu killing the officials.

Confirmed that Simu hates Betty White.

She was the Odin to our Simu Hela?

It's more fun to act like they're trying to hide a huge archive of posts for conspiracy reasons though.

Betty White dies, then the officials get axed.

You think that's a coincidence?
