I don't see anyone talking about it on tumblr yet, but forums.rpgmaker.com is going down on June 18th and being deleted entirely in December.
If YOU use any RPG Maker engines or are considering using one, YOU should let them know that we don't want decades of RPG Maker support and history taken down. Especially when the intention seems to be discouraging people from using older versions. I personally still use RPG Maker MV because privately made MZ plugins are often made with AI, and the more recent RPG Maker versions they've released are Unity plugins and not their own seperate program, and I'm not interested in Unity at all.
Let them know you want an archive here:
Welcome to RPG MAKER GUILD Today, we're excited to announce the launch of RPG MAKER GUILD, the new official RPG Maker forum operated by Got
And contact the admins on the new forum:
The Official Community for Gotcha Gotcha Games Products
There's an update to the situation, GGG has decided to archive the site after a huge stink was made. Who knows how much of it will actually survive though.
There are still people working on archiving it privately, and someone else has offered their own forum as a new hub (because not many people like the new forum site that GGG has set up, and neither do I). Decent's site if anyone's interested: https://forum.electricairship.com/
As a certified AI hater, GGG's site seems pretty vibecoded and I'm heading to Electric Airship instead.
