Around 4 pm EST, the official forums were officially eliminated. No longer can you access them - if you click the link to the forums it automatically dumps you into the official WOT Console discord. May the forums rest in peace and may we keep the memory of this once-great game’s better days alive for as long as the servers are still running.

Once a place of fun, information, entertainment and discussion. You could certainly burn lots of time there, particularly in the early days

I'd be over on the community-ran subreddit but my reddit account was suspended for some unknown reason a few months back and now any new account I make is auto-banned within probably a day or so (possible IP ban?) so now this is pretty much the only community I'm able to access and engage in (other than the Joco Discord). |

Yep. The fact that WG didn't even just leave the forums on read only but insisted on redirecting people to the discord (meaning discord literally replaced the forums) upsets me greatly. It's a major shame.

It's a major shame. Yep, to me this is just simply a conceited, scumbag move. They could've just made the forums read-only - as sort of a "historical archive", if you will - but nope, they had to eliminate them entirely. |

This is just sad. |

This is just sad. I'm still convinced that WG wanted to effectively "delete" the forums quickly since it's a good method of seeing this history of the game and what people thought of it at different points. After all, if people can see how much more people enjoyed the game before updates like 6.0 then they also have grounds to demand that the game be better. |

Not that they'd ever even read the discord themselves anyway. |
