I found this on the US forum. It's a translation of what a CM of the German forum said. It looks like there is indeed a chance that at least a couple of the forums could be left open. Strangely enough the German CM doesn't seem to be particularly keen to advocate for his forum to be the one because people seem to "misbehave" there.

In light of this may I just say how much we appreciate you all @Silmaril @anonglitch @Herodite and all you've done for the forum and we hope that your are advocating very vigorously for our forum to be one of those who could survive
PS: Not sure why, but the peeps from the US forum seem to think that the forums will be shut down after the winter holidays.
Funny, I just checked the Dutch forum this afternoon and didn't see it (I checked all the forums that exist so I could share the links in the Discord post), they made it just a bit later than when I lookedNetherlands' forum also has a petition now.
I love that they have used my banner![]()
Wow, just wow.
So the German CM is blaming the community for problematic behaviour on the forum? Perhaps that CM should look in the mirror, because THEY are the one who can correct problematic behaviour on a forum and make it an inviting place for everybody.
If that person can't handle their job properly, they should step down instead of blaming others. What a disgrace and how DARE they even post that; worth getting fired over IMO.

Hey guys, I have just added to the initial announcement, as it appears that some players have been a bit confused over Discord and had seemed to think that an account was needed there to continue with gameplay. This is not the case at all as we always have and always will be using our own servers for gameplay.
Not quite sure how this was misconstrued, but making sure that everyone is aware that Discord is just a further communication channel, nothing more, nothing less.
The confusion has arisen as players have seen the words ''Discord server'' in the initial announcement and unfortunately made some assumptions about far more than the announcement covered.
Not completely sure if this was perhaps caused by language barriers, or something more at play but wanted to address it immediately it came to my attention that this had been totally misconstrued with players thinking they had to play via Discord or leave, which is heart breaking really.
Awwww feeling all warm and fuzzy!Wow!! I mean... I appreciate their honesty! And I of course cannot speak for the German Forum Community.... but I can't say the same for you guys! Yes there have been times that you have became "overly passionate" about things that have led us to intervene... but a) that's my role and b) that's Forums for you!
And yes, whilst you may not see me doing so, I am shouting from the rooftops for you, and for me. I don't want you to lose this, and neither do I want to lose you guys.

Just checked in on the Discord server and now it is asking me to pay $4.99 a month for a more influential account, I guess that would mean my posts mean more to Inno for consideration???
What is happening??? @Herodite
Discord is asking me to pay $4.99 a month
Exactly. I've been using Discord since 2016 and I still don't have Nitro, because I always just ignore those ads. It's useless and doesn't really get you anything of value extra, except that you can use custom emoji's, you can upload larger files, you get a special badge (wooptidoo :S ), and you can give 2 "super" reactions (likes) instead of just general reactions, which just means they are more flashy and moving instead of static emoji-reactions. And when you pay even more, you get 5 of those super reactions per week, custom profiles for each server, and you can 'boost' servers (meaning servers can get some of these semi-useless extra's like a flashy banner, more custom emoji slots, higher streaming quality, larger upload limits, etc).Now despite these available subscriptions you don't have to pay these. Discord is, and will remain, a free platform for the basic package which has everything you need.
Remember that Discord is nothing more than just a social media platform, and Inno doesn't really have a say in the organisation there. See Discord as a hotel where Inno simply rents a room to host a gathering of their players in. That's basically just what it is. If you were to pay the hotel to get Nitro, all it would mean is you would get to use the fancy hotel toilet in the VIP corridor instead of the regular one in the lobby, but it doesn't change much for your experience in the room Inno rented[...] pay for a more influential account, I guess that would mean my posts mean more to Inno for consideration???
Nice comparison. If i may add that Discord feels like one of those super crowded mass tourism hotels while the forum is more like a cosy luxury members only resort. I'd rather stay in the resort7See Discord as a hotel where Inno simply rents a room to host a gathering of their players in. That's basically just what it is.

So i've noticed a few things on Discord... one is a monthly subscription to Nitro which gives you access to more emojis. And that's for $9.99... but THEN there's also something about a Booster which is around the amount you are suggesting.
Now despite these available subscriptions you don't have to pay these. Discord is, and will remain, a free platform for the basic package which has everything you need.
Unfortunately it's the nature of these sites that they will tempt you to these additional features but you really don't need to subscribe to anything to continue using it's service.
I hope that helps @m4rt1n
Kind Regards
Herodite.
