So, hi. If you're here, you probably were on this page a few minutes ago. Congratulations, and welcome to the smoldered remains of a terrible idea thought up by some silly youngins.
You might be wondering why I'm writing this post in 2017. Or why I'm here at all. Well, I too, stumbled upon that page you supposedly came from. I also discovered Closedverse/Openverse today.
Now, a bit of backstory that wasn't given on PF2M's website: After the forum merger, we had some activity on the forum (not a lot, obviously, by looking at the threads that existed). Somewhere in 2015, things had basically died out and I made the decision as an admin to put the site into "Maintenance Mode" with a message saying these forums were forever closed, and that it was a totally failed project.
You can tell that didn't last, as they are open right now as we speak. As for why the site isn't in maintenance mode, I'm not sure. Perhaps I came online at some point and turned it off, or Lane came online and did such. Either way, it's open now.
I had no idea up until now that this website was being linked to. I thought it was going to be like a ghost town, with the occasional spambot puking everywhere every few years. And, eventually, it'd get deleted.
But, now that it's publicly linked to, I feel it's important enough to do one final thing. No, it's not gonna be putting the website in maintenance mode again (you wouldn't be reading this message otherwise). Instead, I am going to disable registration to these forums, ban all users who have signed up since 2015+ (sorry), and lock all non-spambot threads. You know, to preserve what tiny significance this place had.
As for me, I bid my farewell. This should be the final post to these forums unless Lane somehow logs back in.
Thank you for taking a look.
EDIT: If for whatever reason you need to contact me (why would you ever do that is the question), shoot me a message on Discord: Luna[HASH]5707.
EDIT 2: Decided against banning every post 2015 user. Most have probably forgotten their logins anyways. And if you really just want to spam the forums, then go right ahead.
