Talk pages are kind of out of date discussion methods, but those will remain I'm pretty sure if all else fails.

What if they shut them down early, so as to not have to deal with any work that comes from them?

And that can't be done at the push of a button?

You must provide proof of your statements. It's in the rules.

@God I hope you aren't stupid enough to think that it doesn't require work to make a forum.

They aren't making one, they're closing one down.

And then shutting down all the work that goes into it without notifying anyone or before the new one gets set up?
That's even worse

Yes. According to everything I have been told, it takes a lot of development work and error testing to get this done, so they cannot just push a button or the wikis won't work properly afterwards. Stop being provocative and/or fearmongering please.

They can close down individual forums quite quickly. Also, I assumed that at least most of the work would would have been done already.
I was not attempting to fearmonger, I was just asking a question.

How can you possibly assume an entire forum can be carried over within the span of a few months?
Will you be patient please?

I'm talking about Fandom's end. Unlikely if they have any goodwill.

2 members of the Fandom staff have continuously been helping me out with this, and put me in contact with Community Hired to start with. They do have good will.
However, the Coronavirus situation has given both California (where Fandom and Community Hired are located), my country, and other nations unforeseen major problems. We do not know for certain yet if it will prolong the time schedule for either Fandom or Community Hired regarding their work.
In addition, there is also the risk that I will get sick at some point, given my government's disastrous handling of the situation, but I have stocked up with supplies for around 4 months, and can live as a hermit for that long if necessary, so I try to minimise the risk as much as possible.

I obviously don't want you or anyone from our community to get infected. I just hope the situation gets better soon across the world so people don't have to suffer any more than they already have.
That said, let's avoid this topic or it'll create a panic situation in the thread.

Well, it will have the same colour theme as currently, but it is based in XenForo, so we will be able to send each other private messages and "stick" threads at the top of the sub-forums if we want extra attention to them.
There is no highlight function though, but maybe we can use the announcements feature that we have here in combination with it? I do not know if it works with external sites yet.
Also, there will generally be a much better search functionality, but Fandom did not send Community Hired the discussion thread topics seen at the bottom of the threads in their first forum backup. I have been told that it will be included in the next one though.

Worst case scenario, you can make a discussions thread similar to the current highlights thread.Antvasima said:

I just wanted to do this one last time just to be sure.
I always felt the statistics for what was shown seemed out of date, if not, mine alone is. I already had my Email Evaluated from the start.
It's the rest I still ponder about...
I dun suppose this is just fine, Ant? That is my final question on the subject...
