It's a shame that the Beyond3D forums are closing. But from the last message, it looks like the situation had gone out of control, and without enough recourses, they had no other choice than to close it or see it spiral furthr and further out of control.

Not sure why they didn't recruit more moderators.

In saying that... Forums are a dying platform, they have all lost popularity over the years as people shift over to platforms like Facebook and Discord.
Only a matter of time before vgchartz follows the same path.

Not everybody wants to do it for free, and lack of resources was one of the other reasons given for the closure.

When (not if) such an event occurs, would y'all be going somewhere else or join a discord channel/group?

The site is already a shadow of what it was. I remember when I'd need to go to the second page of the Latest Topics section to find the last ones I saw the night before. Now, if I check the Latest Topics page I find that the last one has ten days...

And my personal situation isn't much better, as I've mostly cornered to this thread and the Most Wanted ones (that reminds me that I still haven't voted in the February one).

So, if/when this forum closes, I'll likely just move away from forums and likely other similar places. I don't like Reddit and while I'm on Discord, I'm not very active there.
