I haven’t been active here for quite a while, but it’s been a lovely forum. I had some absolutely wonderful discussions and made some great friends here, I’m sad to see it all disappear and for others to lose the chance to share in that. But servers aren’t cheap and if there isn’t the financial backing for it, then that’s that.
Thanks to everyone who made this place what it is, mods, users, contributors. It may have had its ups and downs, but the community has overall been a force for good and brought a lot of happiness to people, myself included.
This is where things get more contentious. If you just want to read happy farewells, skip the rest of this comment. I’m going to be harsh, but I think it’s important to be direct about this.

Still here? I think deleting the Discord server is petty and egotistical. I get it Aspi, it doesn’t live up to your perfect expectations and fill the void in your life you needed. Ok. So pass it on to someone else. Don’t give truth to those accusations about you imposed your vision onto everyone else. When you decide to destroy a community just because it isn’t how you want it be, you place yourself above that community and make it all about your own ego. It’d be a petty act of spite to everyone in that community.
I know this is harsh, but I’m tired of massaging egos and if I’m going to get banned, I may at least do it trying to defend the community.
I propose a vote on who becomes the new Discord server owner. It could be anyone in the community, mod or not. Before anyone thinks this some kind of personal power-grab, I won’t accept any nomination (nor would I win the vote anyway).
