Hey y'all. This post has been a long time coming, maybe too long, but given that the forum barely sees much activity nowadays, Will and I have been discussing it being closed pretty soon, at least for the most part. Some boards will remain open for the time being: - General Discussion
- Personal
- Both Lounges
- Forum Games
- GD Community/Game Support
- Level Suggestions
- Collabs
All other boards will likely be permanently closed, with it no longer being possible to create new threads or post on old ones in those boards, although ALL BOARDS MENTIONED ABOVE WILL STILL BE AVAILABLE TO BROWSE. However, all of the boards mentioned above will still allow new threads and posts. In addition, the Ask Simple Questions thread will be migrated to General Discussion. It's been a long journey with a lot of both cringe and fun, and even though it's bittersweet, I'm not surprised it's finally coming to an end, especially with the advent of Discord and such things; for anyone interested who isn't already a member, an invite link to the official GD Discord should be here: discord.com/invite/geometrydash I hope y'all enjoyed reading and posting on this forum even if not much went on, and for those who remember way back when things were busier, I hope y'all still have many pleasant memories from using this site - I know I did, no matter how I've changed as a person. I also hope that anyone reading this announcement who is passionate about GD will be able to easily find other communities who are not only more active but are just as exciting as this forum was in its heyday. Hoping to begin closure around November 8. Best of luck to y'all. |

Figured I would have to say goodbye at some point. I guess this is the best time isn't it.
It feels strange to be here, I've checked this forum everyday for four years. I've dramatically changed as a person since I joined and I never really gave up on it despite my very late arrival.
Just some thoughts before the forum closes. I'm really glad I got to post here even if I was insanely late. I've always liked the forums a lot more than discord/twitter and this provided a small yet passionate community that I could be a part of during the hardest time of my life.
I know I posted a lot of cringeworthy stuff over the years(which I regret now). But I'm still grateful that I could watch this little gem of a community for the time I spent with it. Even if I didn't post very much.
I know this isn't really the "end" per se. There will still be boards open and everything is still viewable. But it's definitely the end of an era.
I might try to upload a level to the level judged panel by the 8th as a sort of last huraah. I'll see if I can stick to deadlines lol.
Thanks for everything ya'll.

I haven't visited this forum in years, but this place is pretty much where my journey in the GD community started. Met many cool people here and a few of them I still know to this day after like 9-ish years. I guess all good things come to an end, but I have many fond memories that were created here. Thank you for keeping this site up for so long! o7

Well, I did not use this forum very much, but still a bummer to see it go. A lot of what is nowadays present in gd community began from here, I'd gather. godspeed o7

will be sad to see this piece of history go, while I never really used it the impact it had on our community at large can never be understated. this will be my first and last post here I guess; farewell everyone

Goodbye ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Thanks for the good and bad times, wouldnt be who I am now without this. o7

In case this wasn't made as clearly in the original post, there aren't currently any plans to straight up delete the forum out of existence. Every board will remain visible and browsable, but users will only be able to make posts in the boards I mentioned in the list above. Sorry for the short notice of everything, I just wanted to clear up any confusion and keep y'all updated  |

So many old users popping out of the woodwork to say goodbye!  The activity has fallen to the point where spambot threads are beginning to become more common than actual threads, so we've decided to focus the remaining attention to just a couple areas. I've enjoyed the past 9 years here and it's introduced me to a bunch of great things, but I feel that this has been coming for a long time now. Thanks for all the memories.  |

deleted my old acc also for some reason, used to be Rock and then Almy. it's weird to actually think about how much time has passed since i was active here, it would have been probably the very end of 1.9 when i was like twelve or something and now i'm coming up on 22. figured since it's been so long it's been inevitable for a while but it's quite an odd feeling
you guys remember the dragon eggs and shit that used to be in our signatures? that was pretty goofy lmao
