Forums being discontinued?
I noticed the forums aren't linked on the Goodman Games website any more, at least, I can't find the link, so I've been coming here based on bookmarks, but there's been nothing new for a while, is the plan to let these forums die off?

Re: Forums being discontinued?
I've noticed that too. And I hope that the forum will continue to exist, even if I'm only active on it irregulary !

Re: Forums being discontinued?
No one has notified me of any changes here. Perhaps an error on the Goodman main pages? I will ask around.

Any update finarvyn? Things certainly appear to be getting the slow death.

Re: Forums being discontinued?
I've been able to find the link to the forums, its just not the way I was used to finding it. On the "social media" part of the page on the right hand side, there's a link to the forum, it uses the goodman games dinosaur.

Re: Forums being discontinued?
Still, it seems like the forums are quite dead recently, I wonder what happened.

I stopped getting email notifications, although I got ONE single notification today, link in the email to here, and I see that I had 38 notifications. I'll have to keep this window tab open if I want to keep seeing notifications.

Re: Forums being discontinued?
There was an issue with the forum mail server for some time. I discovered it a few months ago when I tried to sign up: I was able to create an account but I didn't receive the confirmation e-mail, so I couldn't activate it.
There was actually an error at the top of the screen that told me what the problem was [for those who care, the hostname for the certificate configured in the forums was a different one to the one in the mailserver]. I thought someone would notice this and fix it, but no.
Eventually I sent details of exactly what was wrong and instructions of how to fix it and after that the good tech people did fix it.
So that is the explanation for why you were not getting e-mail notifications for a while but they have now re-started.

Re: Forums being discontinued?
This is very sad. I always feel a sense of loss when independent forums are closed down in favour of gated communities with Big Tech as gatekeeper.
