Hello fellow roleplaying degenerates, I have some bad news. It's time to go to war.
No, that's not a teaser for an edgy roleplay I've been working on, I wish it was, no I'm being serious.
According to FANDOM's new update on the "Unified Community Platform," the Forum's code is "quite old," and only used by "fewer than 100 out of 350,000 wikis." For this reason they, "have decided to retire Forums in the lead up until the UCP release [...] by mid-January."
Every rp you've ever been in, every rp you want to be in, every message you've ever posted is all going to be gone by Mid-January, 2020. Poof. Bye bye, see ya.
I've been roleplaying since 6th grade. I'm now on my way to college. They can NOT be allowed to take this from me. From any of us. It isn't right.
Luckily, if there's one thing that can stand up to the power of corporations, it's the power of throwing enough bodies in the way. So, I'm posting this here, and I want all of you to spread the message to every forum you can: we're going organize a protest. We're going to go out to Wikia's HQ, and every other office it's got, and make those fuckers change absolutely NOTHING. EVER.
I have never organized a real life event before and I have crippling social anxiety, but I'm starting the idea and hoping someone picks up the ball where I drop it. We need the locations, times, and dates, and we need to be prepared to stay out there and be disruptive until they obey our demands.
We're not losing our childhoods, our adolescent years, our embarassing secret havens. No. Not now, not fucking ever.
This is war.
