Well quite a few people disagree, that's all I'll say, and they've since moved to the discord. Make no mistake that it's not just me that thinks these things, it's a majority of the people I speak to on a daily basis.
I prefer to be in control of what I create and if I am not I will happily leave and move on to something else, I can move on very easily and adapt to other situations, I do not need the forums. And the forums are clearly far less active than they used to be, just an observation over the years of me being here.
I doubt Discord will be shut down, and if it does then I will shut the mod down due to lack of a proper platform to conduct our dev work on. There is far too much content and servers up on Discord for it to be shut down instantly, it would cause an uproar and it would not be pretty. If anything they would get new management and move on.
And do you think I give a single damn about what the discord admins think of me? I can say almost whatever I want on there and I have never heard a single
ing peep from them. You know why? It's because we can moderate our server appropriately and without feeling like we're being babied by higher ups. We can speak our minds, it's not a safe space, if you act dumb on our server you will be chastised for it.
I don't need ANYBODY to do my job for me.
