Hello. I was looking at older threads, and viewing ones that had people who joined like 6+ years ago. And all of them have the “joined May 13 2020” is this a glitch/error by the site? Thanks in advanced.

Before the forum move Fandom had a forum like system that their wikis had access to called "Discussions". Fandom however was phasing it out however for the godawful, overtly mobile oriented "Communities" section. AFAIK VSB Wiki was given special privileges and allowed access to Fandom's discussion data so that the forum style discussions can continue on the forum we know today. The official migration, again AFAIK, started on the May 13th 2020 date, however the vsbattle.com website wasn't publicly accessible outside of staff until October 2020.

A condition of this forum move was that VS Battles Wiki simultaneously open and moderate it's own community section. Shockingly no one on the site primarily managed by Desktop users wanted to touch, again, the godawful, overtly mobile oriented Communities. After a string of particular incidents and lack of willing management, VS Battles Wiki was permitted to close the Communities part of the wiki, hence where we are now.
