When I initially posted the OP for the Thread of the Month for June 2024, it contained the following: This has now been removed from the TOTM. I was asked if I would be willing to separate it from the TOTM to avoid confusing the thread's purpose by both members of the forum community and others on the moderation team. I add this not as a member of the moderation team but as a regular forum member. In repeated posts on the social media platforms I'm involved in (Discord, this forum, Steam, and X (formerly Twitter)), it's all the same - we are free to discuss Take-Two, Intercept Games, and the like. Still, we cannot make personal remarks, personal attacks, or salacious or defamatory statements about other forum members or members of Intercept Games (this includes everyone - including members of the moderation team). And I believe my statement above did no such thing - it was an agreement with most of the complaints many of you have had over the past year or so (which no one has been discouraged from sharing in the past). All I attempted to do was add another layer to what's really bothering me about the entire thing we are currently experiencing - the human element. I've personally worked with the team as a member of the Pioneer Group when Squad was working on Kerbal Space Program. For a while, I was a member of the Pioneer Group when Intercept Games was working on Kerbal Space Program 2 -- this will be ending when the studio closes on the 28th of June. When you work with people long enough and are in contact with them on a daily basis, you get to know them, and friendships develop. So, yeah, that's a big part of it. It bothers me when I see my friends facing so much uncertainty in their lives, and I am powerless to help. The other part is that many of you are friends, too. We communicate through the forum or the IG Discord. We still do not have any word on the future of this forum or the official Discord server. Everything is uncertain right now—we are literally in the dark. For all we know, on June 29th, the forum and Discord will operate as usual. Or we could discover something different. We just do not know. And that bothers me, too. Kerbal Space Program is more than a game; it is a sense of community for many of us. So while KSP2 may have failed to be the game we wanted it to be at 1.0, it's not really the game I'm worried about. I'm more worried about the community as a whole.
