Say Goodbye to the Fourums

[Aquaileron]

O7 since the forums are going away soon, we should all pay tribute at long last 
See you all in the Discord  

[SIG7Pro]

dang RIP to the forums
i wonder whats gonna occupy the vg resource homepage now (i only use one of the websites anyway)

[Petie]

We'll be repurposing the vg-resource.com domain for our new wiki.

[scurest]

Bye everybody!

[DioShiba]

Guess I'll say my farewell to the forums then, it's been a blast since 2008 but all good things come to an end.

[Petie]

You guys do realize that we're not closing the forums until we launch the new sites, right?

[Shin FireyPaperMario]

The forums isn't really going away. Heck, some VGR community members prefer using the forums over using the DYKG/VGR discord server.

I'm one of them, it's nice to have an overview of my projects and post some progress on sheets.
Discord is just like forums, but not really public and also needs additional software to run (which also needs frequent updates, having me to wait).
Browser version on the other hand always asks for way too much identification and with forums, I just stay logged in and that's it.

[Dazz]

Forum software also needs to be updated - you just don't notice because Petie and I have to deal with it... However, MyBB, the forum software we use, is updated so infrequently that it has become a nightmare in terms of maintenance, functionality and security. We are closing the forums for the sake of our community, in essence, as continuing to run them into the future without any guarantee of support by its developer is dangerous.

Honest, I think it's a bad idea to close the VGR forums in favor of Discord cuz I know Discord isn't all that reliable for these 4 reasons:

• Fucking discord locked the ability to share higher data images & videos both via a paywall of Nitro & boost levels. So if thew server's boost level isn't at 2 or 3, non-nitro scubscribed newcomers/returnees will get the short end compare to those with Nitro
  

• Bots & Scammers (as hackers), that's a super common problem on discord, and yet discord staff won't do shit about it. What if someone managed to hack into Dazz's discord account & delete the entire VGR/DYKG discord server completely. Didn't thought of that happening, didn't you, Dazz?
  

• There are a few images & gifs that can get a user perma-banned from Discord if posted in a DM or text channel. One of them being a gif of a bald guy eating chips (it's from a certain forbidden kind of internet video), which is bullshit cuz that gif is in discord's gif search.
  

• Should y'all even think discord is 100% safe & won't get a update that'll ruin everything?
  

Bottom line, I don't think closing the forums in favor of discord isn't a good idea
