Bring back the old Forum

I “love” how the most active topic on this Forum is the one asking to bring back the old one lmao

Honestly, I wouldn’t even mind the change as much if it weren’t because of the THOUSANDS of topics that have been lost.

And, please… don’t come with the “the old Forum will be available as read-only for two years!”. It’s as good as gone. I can’t access any topic via Google search or links. They lead nowhere: “Oops! That page doesn’t exist or is private”. Only way to find old topics is directly on the Forum, and porting each single one of them along with all of the documentation spread across them is something the community, the ones who found and brought all of it on the first place, shouldn’t be tasked with.

It’s like getting a game update that wipes your save data and the devs have just said ‘Oh well, guess you gotta start again’

War thunder 2, basically the same as the original but now we have branching tech trees instead of folders, enjoy researching everything again :)

Totally agree. This Creates a system of the has and has not.

Not only that. reading some of the content that people get of having high social credit. may get become willing to abuse the system in order to have their voice become the loudest. Creating an Echo Champer like Reddit.

Edit ability is available to basically everyone who has done something other than log-in now, we changed it.

Fair, but at least can you tell the person who been doing it a telling off please as it make no sense to me other than a person being salty because I said something they didn’t like.

As this is one of my fears of this new forums as people now can hide and later edit people comments.

Yup this SUCKS

I act like someone who has never had to deal with anything like this. Let’s put a fox in a chicken coop and see what happens.

The smart ones would say he will kill them.

The foolish do it anyway.

You got yourselves into this situation and are responsible for it being badly implemented. Why do you have to fix something that is not broken.

and why the hell is it still black.

I can not look at black screens for a long time for me this new Forum color is hell.

So here we are in this “thing”.
Please someone tell me why this.
WHY?
Anyone asked for It? Anyone wanted It?
Personally for me this Is Just another example how Gaijin doesn’t care about his costumers and users Who spend tons of hours to provider them info for make the game Better.
I’m a Person Who like others made suggestions and spent tons of hours for provide info for new veichle, weapons and mechanics. With this new “forum” You are Just saying to Us that over 10 Years of work was uselles since You literally trowed away everything that we done in all this time. Personally I made over 26 suggestions and there was people that done a lot of work more than me.You are going to Say that all Our work for You is uselles?. With this new thing that look ten time worse than the previous one You Just trowed away more than 10 Years of Suggestions,Discussions and research.

For what?
Tell me for what?

I second this 100%.

I think change is good.

Oh i aggree change can be good if its made the right way but this is not

Seriously though, the old forum was fine. There was no need to change it to whatever this is supposed to be.

They just want us to shut up, make us hard to communicate and publish opinion, arguement. This is direct speech/media censorship

Other people can’t edit your comments. If you mean the edit to un-hide your post, I mean yeah that is part of the self-moderation system, but from a moderation perspective it isn’t really a problem because in the end, we still moderate the forum and are still the only ones who can take any actual action. We can also manually un-hide a post upon reviewing a flag.

I’ve made a post explaining the flagging system here and to clear up some misconceptions. Hopefully this is useful.

Feel free to PM me for moderation questions.
