The forum deserves an update about its future.


Recommended Posts

With development of KSP2 over and IG emptied I think it is important to address what is going on with the forums moving forward. There are many reasons why I feel like we deserve this communication from either T2 or the mods:

- The IG discord has already given specific updates to their community on how the mods and T2 are handling site ownership, moderation, and maintenance. We have no idea how the forums are being maintained with IG staff gone.

- Speaking of maintenance, the site seems incredibly unstable and is often not working. Why is this? Should we be concerned that this unaddressed issue will continue or even get worse? Given the amount of critical information on this site I feel this is a problem that should be addressed in any form.

- The forum requires updates. Dakota ran a poll on restructuring the format of topics and the thread was locked with no action taken. Will that poll lead to any change? Can we expect any future updates to the forum or will it be frozen in its current state? We don't know because we have no idea who is in charge.

According to Dakota the forum mods are "figuring out" some of these questions, but I am creating this post to bring further attention to the matter. The forums are critical to the community and I think it is important to at least know what the current status of ownership/maintenance is so we can best prepare for whatever the future holds.

The 502s are shameful, about as petty as not saying anything about the franchise.

Were. Because it's clear that once the WARN went effective, everything he was doing was ignored, like the reorganization poll.

Dakota's message says "they" (the mods of the forum) are figuring it out. This point is not at all about Dakota or IG staff. This is also something he said on July 1st, after he formally left his role at IG.

I'd love if a forum mod could provide further clarity on Dakota's statement about them.

I asked a similar question after the poll was locked. Paraphrasing the answer I got, the moderators want to restructure the format but currently cannot do so because the website keeps crashing.
