If there are any threads you are super attached to and would hate to see fly off into the void, might I recommend submitting them to archive dot org: https://archive.org/web/ - via their Save Page Now functionality. It'll capture a thread as it stands now and keep it for posterity. I've submitted a few of mine, going back through my old posts - so while it's not a functioning forum, it'll work in a pinch.

Waterbird. I've been messaging the old timers the last couple days, I hadn't gotten to you yet....

Yeah, I know - I haven't been around much in the last few months. The pandemic killed my game and with the line all but shut down, the enthusiasm has waned a bit. I do still check in from time to time tho - good to see some other Olds still hanging about!

That place holder page for Edge studios looks promising for them picking the line back up and continuing to dev stuff. I kicked my nerd nite back off in November, we've probably averaged every 2 weeks which gives a good incubation/plague break between sessions.

Thanks for the reminder. I have a couple of posts out there I would be sad to lose. I've saved them locally just to remind myself how to run this game when we can start again post-covid.

Great reminder

Has it been decided that the forum will close?

Yes, if you check the top pinned post of every forum on the community site you will see that the FFG forums are closing.

FFG Forum Shutdown - Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG - FFG Community (fantasyflightgames.com)

However, there are a number of community led options for forums moving forward:

https://forum.swrpgcommunity.com

https://myswrpg.com

https://legendsofthegalaxy.com

Folks have achieved a lot with the archiving process as well. There's a forum archive here . And we're embedding it for easy access here: https://swrpgcommunity.com/forum-archive

Thing is basically the whole Rogue Trader archive section I do not want to lose. but I dont have the time to save everything in it, maybe just the "You Know you're Playing...." thread I can do, but everything else, not so much

You can access an archive of the forum at FFG Forum Archive (swrpgcommunity.com) as linked in my above post. We have added a search bar as well, but that may take a bit to get going as Google is still indexing the site.

Dopes it have the entire forum as it is thus far ? even with the archives section list and such ?

EDIT: Just took a look, and so far everything is there YAY!

EDIT 2: Minor issue but you might want to rearchive page one of the "You Know You're Playing Rogue Trader when...." as some posts are entirely blank when in the thread itself here on the current forums they are actually present @MarlowK just a FYI

I just added a redirect subforum to my forum leading to the archives @MarlowK Thank you for hosting the archives!

Feel free to add https://overlight-archives.boards.net/ to your fellow forums/communities list and I can do the same on Overlight
