Why? Because some of those children who supported the platform while playing games with friends are now adults and putting their projects behind it. I am so disappointed Discord took off. What an absolute privacy nightmare of a site. It boggles my mind people are working on projects with open source components/ideas and then forcing people to sell their soul just to read a CHANGELOG or find some simple instructions.

I agree with others, forum management was pretty difficult due to spam. But it feels like we could have come up with something else instead of just going all in on Discord.
