Why are these forums going to be retired? I would like to know that, because I really enjoyed it to post stuff here. This is not meant to be rude

The .org website will retire in favor of the official .io website. And with that came the decision to centralize the discussions/support questions.

Besides what GingerAdonis already mentioned, there is also the point that the forums are barely used. Most days, I am just here to remove spam. It leads to people posting questions, but not getting answers, or only getting them very late. By going on the other, more active platforms, people will get an answer much more quickly.

The forum licence also costs money, which is hard to justify for something that is used so little.

That only makes sense.
