I have spent the entirety of my time since launch on polishing and adding new features to both the forum and Discord, today I am pleased to announce these changes are complete and I am happy with the state both are in.

The forum has had a plethora of work done, It's also had an addition of an entire section of playable games! Yes, I do take the "Puzzles" part seriously, and "Community Games" are back, go and create your own awesome forum games for the community!
I highly recommend you check it out! (The "GAMES" drop down is on the top navbar.)

Discord has been streamlined as much as it can be to be the most useful yet still feature-packed server you can have, nothing you see here is useless, and we've also brought back the ⁠#community-games, head on over and tell me your ideas for me to start some game channels up!

And lastly, once again please invite your friends and alliances to our forum and Discord and we'd love to see you interacting with both - this is the best way to show support for our project! I'd like to stress that we are left to our own devices which means we NEED you guys to help spread the word about our forum and Discord - please start linking our forum when you can if you see others in need!

A side note from the announcement - if you are willing to help post hero topics, please DM me - we have started to create a team for it but we need more help. (You only have to be able to: read, comprehend instructions, copy and paste, and type.)

This has been a labour of extremely hard and non-stop work for many months to bring you this, hopefully you are content with what you see.

Please read our rules and our forum guide to fully participate on our forum.

As you may or may not be aware - we (I) are not affiliated with Small Giant Games, this forum has been created, and is funded purely by myself - if you like what you see and enjoy using it, consider showing your support, monthly supporters also get perks you can find here.

Lastly, please consider joining our Discord - and if you're kind enough, show some support to my other project Nostalgia Roleplay (Rust, Garry's Mod, and FiveM servers).

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy what I've made for years to come and that it fills the hole in your heart that SGG created when they shut the old forum down.
