  • The Game Lab Forum may hit FreeFlaurm's limits soon

According to the FreeFlarum terms of service (https://docs.freeflarum.com/en/legal/terms/#32-forum-activity-monitoring), they define "excessively active" forums as ones with 20k users, 20k discussions, or 35k posts.

What do you think we should do regarding the amount of posts on this forum, since once it hits the limit it's eligible to be archived and will not be reinstated?

What should we do to prevent hitting the limit of excessively active posts?

Restart somewhere else, like Discord
Start deleting old posts
Nothing and just let the forum eventually die out

    [WUT] Adam I feel like we should move to discord but instead of restarting, we could reference important posts from this (such as archived ones) to the discord server. Discord also has a forum tag type so that could be useful if we do move to discord. It would take a lot of work to start deleting old posts especially since this forum is 230 posts from being eligible for archive.

      idc what we do to the current messages on this forum
      all i know is that we should definitely move to discord

      We could do either, the issue will continue presenting itself however eventually leading to having to remove quality posts or questions on gamelab or applab

      if we do decide to move we could archive it but we'd need a way of viewing it properly which is why for now some of the older posts may need to be removed so i think for the long game if we'd like to have longer post history without fearing that it might be removed at some point i think that moving would be the best bet

      How close are we to hitting the limit anyway? Plus, in my personal opinion, the best course of action is to nuke the off-topic section.

          i just wasted again :O

          i should stop posting now

          guys what if we use the pumpkin smasher discord thingy

            or, do any of you guys have like a leftover chat?

            or should we create a new chat on cdo

            DragonFireGames I opened the home page, saw 'featured projects' and almost had a heart attack until I saw the project gallery button

                altZany yeah, we aren't about to pull the same crap as code.org.

                also, for some reason the turbowarp isn't working right now

                    altZany we're making a turbowarp for code.org projects right now, and it isn't working because we think code.org changed its cors policy
