After some crucial changes to the Atrium Discuss system I have decided on an official termination date for the forum site which runs on phpBB to be 21st March 2026.
All of your posts will be here and more. It is only the site that will go down. Visitors to the forum will be redirected to this Atrium installation.
I decided to set it over a month away so that all users who are not familar with this new Atrium platform had more time to get used to it and for any bugs or necessary additions to be sorted out before taking down the forum website.
Any questions, suggestions or concerns - please use this topic to discuss them.

Re: Official forum.indieagora.com Termination Date 21st March 2026
Thank you for giving me some more time with it, I still very much like this older and more familiar layout and style. If there is also some way to create a View Mode that can be set for profiles on the main site that makes it look like a forum site of this style, then it will basically be like nothing was really lost or changed and a forum stule navogation and posting experience remains available for those who prefer it and are more likely to post because of that, due to unfamiliarity with other styles that are inspired by things that they aren't as familiar with or haven't used.
Some of the things I'll likely try to do over the time that I have with this somewhat easier layout where I can check what I've posted by find on page to see other posts while posting, though I can't do that while editing so would have to open two pages in either site to see ehat is on a page, but anyway I'm going to see if I can once again go through and eradicate anything that might be too provocative or political or expressing too much rage or seeming like it might be too edgy or even violent somehow, so self-censoring and curating in case we get people checking the site more, I don't want to get in trouble, get anyone in trouble, or attract certain attention or negativity/toxicity here.
So there would be no record of how furious I have been from 2023-2026 and beyond, but just all the most silly, frivolous, eccentric, and insane sounding posts remaining, to be mostly unintelligible to humans or A.I. spiders crawling the internet.
I may also have to sacrifice all my writing throughout years of commenting on YouTube too, let fear have another win.
To be even more melodramatic, and similar to the soon to be decomissioned and archived forum site, I can not see a future for myself, or perhaps fear looking at the bleak abyss that might await me, but have already made venting or daydreaming on here a regular and habitual sort of thing, so what I can at least see myself doing for the forseeable future, and practically little to nothing else.
As annoying as it has been for me to be incomprehensible, an involuntary cryptic cypher and thus celibate in the context of social intercourse, it still gives me something to at least bark and quack "out there", even if on a private site, even if only understood by myself exclusively, and for that opportunity I am extremely grateful.
This site preserves fragments from around 2017 and then later, as most of my writing from all other places online has been lost or hidden away by sites shutting down. The vast majority of anything I've written online is gone. Now because of phone issues and no space to set up a computer yet, I frequently communicate through a patchwork of things that other people have put together, creating structures that some may see as "piles of crap" aggregated together to try to communicate something and influence, at least me, towards generating certain thoughts and ideas.
I even despise the sight of such monstrous amalgamations because of how so much of them are made up of things from other minds I consider hateful and fetid, mingling some minimal moments I might perceive as valuable with a lot of unbareable "accidents", like their annoying voices and accents and hairstyles wiggling around. These I form like a mound of mashed potatoes with skins still part of the mix, like the mountain model in Close Encounters Of The Third Kind:
All my posts, including what will remain, are of the same RGB array in style, both silly and sentimental and authentic and satirical simultaneously:

This post included.
This forum site had a relatively brief run, but I appreciate it like a bed that allowed me many a buffered tossings and turnings.
Maybe if you manage to design a forum display mode for the main site I won't feel so afraid.
