TylerBarnes | 184 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 So I just heard that Assembler Games forums is also about to close down. It's sad to see two huge forums shut down in such a short time period. I wonder if we'll see any of those guys migrating over to our neck of the woods.

Deadeye | 1,596 Homebrew Team · Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Doesn't the forum owner keep doing this every so often? I remember talking about this a few months ago. The post about the forum closing in 30 days goes back to May. Is it for real this time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TylerBarnes | 184 Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 It might be the same thing, Deadeye. I only just went back there to check out a thread that had some wiring information on MMC5 carts and noticed the banner and closing thread.

Skorp | 383 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Yeah, I could have sworn I thought they already shut down a while ago?? I remember last year in July when I saw some info about it. So, all this time and it is for sure now or maybe I'm confusing something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacepup | 2,404 Administrator · Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 This was announced a while back and has been a long time coming. The full site has been archived, and I know that a decent chunk of the community already migrated over to Obscure Gamers: https://www.obscuregamers.com/forums/ The issues with ownership and relationship to the community / longevity of that site, is a long and muddled mess - but at least the full place is archived and a new place was created many months ago for people to continue on.

Pikkon | 19 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Been a member there since 05 but as for now the site is in weird place. Was supposed to close but it haven't yet for what ever reason,its odd as there's no moderators,no admin and I'm sure no one can join if they wanted to.

ThePhleo | 2,184 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Seems the 2010s are really ending with a whimper for the game collecting community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but this gives us the opportunity to rebuild and get excited about gaming all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineappleLawnchair | 88 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 That forum has been in the middle of "shutting down" since. like, may. So either it's been paid for the next year, or he's just seeking attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkTone | 984 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I swear it had a banner saying " were closing in 30 days", for months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
