As Undead Scottsman said, May 20th is the vanilla contract end date when, in theory, this place goes dark because they pull the plug once they're no longer being paid.
In reality? Maybe vanilla breaks randomly like yesterday, but in an even more permanent fashion. Hard to say. The plan was to gradually shut the lights off on various parts of the forums near that shut down date to shoo people over to CoRe. At this point, I'd rather not tempt fate and start doing that process sooner than later. We've still got people going through the registration, some hiccups here and there, etc, so we'll probably be managing that for at least a week, but afterwards I would expect to start putting the chairs up and mopping the floors here before the end of April.
If not that's fine, I'm not looking for the spilled tea or anything, but a debrief on something this involved would be cool to document for posterity
edit: like post November '24, when the last communications were shared
Too late, fuckos. We out!

Not specifically no.
It was informally agreed that it'll be the last open forum and would be excluded from any sunsetting going on... and whatever the nightmare in the whirlpool is.
But that's not for archival reasons, but more of a "We don't want to accidentally lock (and/or drown, apparently) the door to the new forums.
I did duplicate the fundraiser post on CR by hand (just the official posts), just because I think it'll be fun to look back at "the official start" as such, of CR.
It won't be the same without the commentary, but we'll have something.
If there are things you really want preserved, Zonugal has a thread about it here:

It's not as easy as just telling him "hey, archive this" I'm afraid, so you'll need to read up on the requirements in the thread itself.
