So here's what we're planning. Step 1. Old lab forum will be destroyed Step 2. Rust forum will move to [URL="https://rust.facepunch.com/f/"]rust.facepunch.com/f/[/URL] Step 3. Gmod forum will move to [URL="https://gmod.facepunch.com/f/"]gmod.facepunch.com/f/[/URL] Step 4. Gmod forum here will close, posts will be migrated, accounts linked Step 5. We'll start closing individual forums, migrating them to equivalents at [URL="https://forum.facepunch.com/forum"]forum.facepunch.com/forum[/URL] Step 6. All forums will be moved, and this forum will shut down [B]Why[/B] This has been a long time coming and we've had a couple of false starts, but this is something has got to happen. We've got two choices. Either distance the company from the forum, hand it off to a community member to keep going and wash our hands of it (this can still happen regardless of what we do). Or we can embrace forums, interweave them with our projects and justify spending time developing them. I chose the second one. The biggest question of why change at all, is really, because we've got to change. We've got to evolve. We've got to be a better more modern forum, and it's not that hard to do. [B]When[/B] Rust and Gmod forums are live on the other system. We're using them as a test bed. Lab is practically shut down. Gmod forum isn't shut down or moved yet. The rest won't happen Not until we're ready. Not until we're convinced that we have all the moderation tools and are feature complete.
