When finally unplugging the community sections, I secretly hope Gamurs also asks the age-old question: Destructoid has forums?

Maybe this place somehow goes unnoticed. But if not, it won't be the first time the forums go away, probably won't be the last.

It's a good question. I think they'll keep it since it's not some old code made in 2015 that no one knows how to maintain anymore. Even though it doesn't get a ton of use.

Maybe they won't notice. They might once they realize how much they're paying for them. Who knows...Dtoid has seen better days. I hope that you two as well as anyone else that's reading this is doing all right <3.

At least many Dtoiders have found other places to go. It's still sad though.

(I still need to sign up for that one site :D )

Doing well enough all things considered. Take care too, Vxxy! Make that account!

And for you or anyone that's planning on eventually coming to cohost, here's a list of usernames ctg867 made for everyone that made the jump:
I'm not sure when it was last updated though. Or just search the #qpost hashtag.

The Internet!
iirc from an old convo: Enthusiast Gaming was pushing for Forums in 2020.
Dtoid was looking to replace Disqus. Remember how many times did we have issues with it as users. - Imagine the problems Moderation must have had.

These Forums were.... Not so much about reviving the old old forums. The idea was that these forums would become the backbone to the new account system and comment section. From what I gather its very barebones, and rough arround the edges.
A couple of sites work like this. - Nexusmods was such a site, and up until a few years ago you could actually access the 'hidden' backend forums posts that the comment sections worked on.
Qtoid was also likely to migrate to using these forums as a backend as well since as we all know Qtoid was kinda a broken mess.

But... EG was kinda a bad company and umm.... things happened that I won't elaborate on, that caused the forums to become an abandoned project.
I doubt GAMURs even knows there are forums this place gets so little traffic. That or it be more work shutting it down then whatever its worth.
