Makes me wonder if Admiral Nelson's Great wall of text is still standing?

That was one of the 7 saltyest wonders of the forum, and the GOAT of all forum rants!

New players should be able to see what happened when Flotillas were first released. Dark times... Hilarious, but still dark.

Every now and then someone pulls it out so it’s still archived here somewhere

Ben's fault is a good read too. 😉

That’s a classic Ben move

The bad news is that a lot of FFG staff were let go. The good news is that none of the remaining staff know how to shut a forum.

Not that the staff ever checked this forum anyway

they probably don't even know it's here

As dark as the pre release Star Wars Legion subforum?

Step 3 already!

Somewhat disheartening news. I enjoyed reading the opinions and posts by this group of armada players. I’ve never gotten on discord and know nothing about it.

More a Fear leads to Anger leads to something thing :D

I already hate it [the Discord] ... Haha

Why is FFG shutting down ALL the forums?

Well, frankly there's not that much interest in their forums for games not named X-Wing... or Armada.

X-Wing Posts - 1.4M
Armada - 435K
Lord of the Rings, TCG - 122K
Legion - 115K

That's it. That's all they have over 100K. By posts we are #2. X-Wing is #1 by a long shot. Legion is #4. LotR TCG is a dead game I think?

X-COM the Board Game, one of my favorite games, has 2 posts. One person saying "First Post!" and FFGEvans posting "The Forums Are Closing"

L5R: TCG, which is wildly popular and churning out content, has 78K posts. The last post besides FFGEvan was 23 hours ago.

Well, everyone migrating to discord, fb and whatnot way before AMG surely made it easier to decide. But they would have closed anyway, and why wouldnt they. Wonder what will even stay, gamewise. This new Terrinoth game still on track? Any new Civ expansions?

Having said all that, certainly a sad day. The input from so many people is invaluable, be it info, rules or custom paints 😢

Continue the orderly evacuations to the discords. We will all have to do what we can.

I am going to do my best to save as much of our history as is reasonable... but I am one guy and my January is going to be BUSY.

Sturgeon's Law will help with this effort.

if anything comes up over the next few weeks I'll save it, but I'm sure it will only be relevant after the mass deletion because irony must be so.

I'll be fine if I get to any of those discord channels. I'm gonna miss you and I don't want to.

Any kind soul, please?

If anything I let some not-so-old trilogy rewrite I'd like to save. Better I start digging. I had planned to follow with more, I was just busy.

I missed the actual original Ben's fault post. Does anyone have a link?
