Two blog posts on the latest developments of the WotC community website:

WotC forums to be shut down (announcement):
http://blackmoormystara.blogspot.no/201 ... -shut.html

Timeline of the WotC community Website
http://blackmoormystara.blogspot.no/201 ... bsite.html

As usual, lets stay away from WotC is evil type comments, but other than that I am interested in hearing what you think about this.

I think it's a shame, if for no other reason then because I hate to lose any boards where I might have fun discussing gaming. On the other hand, since they took the old school section and dumped 3E/4E into it (because it's all out of print) I have found a lot less interesting content there. It's the same issue as when Dragon magazine closed its doors -- most of the good stuff was long gone and the concept was better than the reality.

Actually, years ago when they made the d20 CoC section go away I was pretty bummed. Maybe that was the beginning of the end. Recently I got the impression that posters wanted to fight about gaming instead of discussing it rationally. I'm sure that was a factor in WotC's decision.

Anyway, I'm bummed by their decision but I hardly ever go there any more.
