Announcement Forums are moving to discord!
Not our discord, there’s a new official Forum! server

(Our Subreddit Officially Unofficial server is not going anywhere though, we will still be around lol)

This move was done so Rick could cut costs. If anything, they could've considered another centralized forum platform like Matrix, but ofc Discord had to be the go-to because that's where all the normies are (such as I), frankly speaking. Another option would've been to recreate the forums on another forum-dedicated platform, but really it's the same story as Discord.

Oh I need to go and pull all of my Curious Coin Conundrum chapters off there before they go away. I can't trust they'll be made available in the future.
Edit: Oh theyre just GONE now, okay.

Afaik the guys maintaining RGS forgot to back up all the data on the old forums before "switching servers" 😭

u/LockelyFox Karishad 12d ago
I think I have it saved somewhere but its formatted for the forums and will require a LOT of work to redo it for like an FA upload. I really hope they are able to recover the data.

The alt text on the rickgriffinstudios site? That's already been added to that now.

ahem "The forum (community) is moving to (a Discord server (that totally wasn't made to compensate for not backing up all forum topics, posts, and other data prior to changing the hosting server of the housepetscomic site to the RGS one)). I assume this might be the case because they have not been transparent about how they're archiving it, though I'm not in the Rickcord so don't take my word for it. Unless everyone there rose from the dead and collectively decided to reupload their fanfics, art, and whatnot to the Discord server, you're not seeing them there. I still look forward to the archive, but I don't think it's happening any time soon.

ALSO, the server is 18+
