a goodbye + community-led forums available

hi all,

i wanted to use this post as an opportunity to say quickly goodbye and make once last announcement for the remainder of the community that's here before the forums go.

it's been a long ride and i'll definitely miss this crazy place. I've only been here since 2022, but I've been a lurker since the beginning on the forums prior to me making my account. I've seen the evolution of the community almost from start to finish, including all the times that peanits and almo used to be here. it's insane how quick time flies. i didn't always agree to everything that was said and had a few weigh-ins on some hot topics, but it was still a blast making friends and talking to others about the game and all the fine details that came with it. there was a beauty in logging in and seeing someone's passion project of an opening post about their perspective on game balance, lore, or the latest topic in recent discussions. honestly it's amazing watching someone's thoughts come out when given the space to stretch their legs. even though it triggered some, frankly, wild debates, i have no doubt that all of it was influential and allowed players of dbd to put their heart into such an old game. I've met many amazing people, especially towards the end of the forums, and i don't regret one bit of it.

with this being said, as the internet gradually transitions away from forum-based culture, some people here may find it hard to part with this platform. this is especially if someone is not capable of using reddit or discord to keep in touch with community members. to solve the potential problems of losing touch with others and falling out of the loop, i decided to sit down and host a community-led alternative to these forums. i highly encourage you join if you're still looking to have long-form discussions about the game or the latest news that comes out.

sign-ups are currently open. the forums are also helped by fellow long-time community members for moderation and site improvements, so as the site grows, we can make it accessible and friendly for all. i am always open to feedback and working to improve the platform, so you're free to also make suggestions.

as my last parting piece, i wanted to quickly say thank you to all my friends and wonderful acquaintances that I've made here:
