Of course, carrying over the accounts is almost out of the question... considering that any new forum will not be a proper replacement... the "new forum" idea... the community on Reddit or Discord... What project? What "new forum idea"? Perhaps I was unclear. Let me rephrase it for you: For those, like me, who actually read terms and conditions, and therefore have no social media and no discord, I created a forum on a free hosting site, just as a backup should this one go down. No archive was mentioned, and it is not supposed to be a replacement for, nor a copy of this forum. It's supposed to be a place where one can go, if one day this forum is down, to share/get information about the status of this forum or any efforts to resurrect/replace it. Just a backup method for users without social media to keep in touch and keep each other informed. I thought I was being helpful. Not to worry, I've deleted it now, actually.

theJesuit Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 As I've said before, if the Forum were to truly fail out of the blue then I'm sure that something, somewhere would occur either on a reddit (which i don't use) or a discord (which would possibly be horrendous), or something even else. I'm also sure that whatever the community did initially would be communicated on the privately maintained and community supported site spacedock.info. It isn't capable of hosting a forum as such, but it would be where most people could possibly go to find ANY information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechBFP Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 17 hours ago, Zozaf Kerman said: yet*** The fact that is was only renewed for 6 months is definitely telling. You don't renew something on a 6 month term in a company unless getting rid of it is in the cards as an option. Unless of course someone paid out of pocket for it as a gesture for the community, in which case big kudos to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like you mean, "ESPECIALLY if someone paid out of pocket..." which yes is a great gesture but that kind of thing dries up eventually.

Jacke Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 Welp, the shear amount of times when I try to load a page from a post and get a 502 error indicates there's a lack of resources for the website. Was in the middle of catching up and this was the first page I could finally get to load. Now if I can just post this reply.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linkageless Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Hopefully Take Two can appreciate the ongoing value of keeping the forums running. It's good news that this appears to be the case so far. Aside from potentially attracting new players even now, they might consider the sheer quantity of inspirational knowledge, experience and ideas contained within the forums that might guide them in the creation of future games. Not to mention keeping thousands of existing KSP fans on-side. I'm still hopeful that something might be done to resurrect KSP2. Take Two, if you really see no future in this, turn it over to the community as I'm pretty sure there's enough collective skill and enthusiasm among us to get it over the line!

chefsbrian Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 Bit unusual to be a six-monther instead of a one to three year deal, but there's dozens of plausible explanations ranging from "Thats what we had the spare budget for in the org stack that inherited KSP2" to "We just need it to go long enough for a new org structure to properly inherit it later" to "in six months a decision about the future will have been made" to "In six months the new studio will take it over". Either way, the fact someone did it means someone both has the authority and care to do so, whether by explicit decree or by the cost being so marginal that it was easier to ask for forgiveness on the expense incurred than to risk asking forgiveness for losing the forum.

Chaotic Protocol Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 And here, I thought your PC was single handedly running the whole operation @Vanamonde which would've explained the bad gateways at almost the same time everyday. You're doing great for what you've been given. I've been here since 2011 and I would personally hate to see this fall apart entirely. Thank you for the good fight.

It's that it lasts FOREVER. If you don't know what I am talking about, it's about a certain skeleton. Jokes aside, I'm just glad I know have about 5 and a half months with this great community.

RileyHef Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Let's go!!! Really hoping that we get an update from the mods on what this issue is and what it means for the future of the forum. I know their contacts/info is limited, but anything would be helpful when determining if we need to consider jumping to another platform or staying here. Obviously, the latter seems ideal if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
