Supercell just announced this morning that they are closing the Boom Beach forum. This follows the closing last year of theClash Royale forum and the announcement that they weren’t going to create a forum for Brawl Stars. When they announced they were closing the CR forum they said there was no plan to close the Boom Beach forum and here we are today with the announcement that the Boom Beach forum is closing. Will Hay Day be next as supercell seems to be getting rid of all their forums.
I hope HayDay will not be next. Maybe we can all encourage some of our hood mates and friends to join the discussions here. There is so much useful information that a NH leader cannot possibly pass along everything.
As the leader of a BB TF I pass along all important information I get from this forum to my TF. The formats they are choosing to use, reddit, discord, Facebook, etc. just aren’t as good for the type of discussion as we have on the forum. They may be better for interactive stuff like AMAs but not all of us have the ability to be logged on at a specific time. Some of us have real world responsibilities and this forum is great for us. We can comment then come back later and read and reply to other comments.
Now that it has happened twice, I fear it will happen to all of SC games.
They've not updated the forum software in ages. Spam is a problem (expensive) and they may not like all the negativity on the forums.
Yeah, I'm wondering too.
I hope not. If the Forum goes, I doubt I’ll continue playing. Nick did say it wouldn’t go and that it’s SO different to the other games forums, so there’s some hope it’ll stay, BUT they did say B.B. wouldn’t go either...
Ah so the new nh information space and tags as to what kind of nh you are in the last update make sense now
I am one of only a very few in our NH who is on the forum and pass a lot of information along to other NH memebers. I am not sure what I would do if the forum closed. I have made some close friends on here..........
Yeah, its very sad. Makes you think twice about some of the threads that may seem irrelevant in the greater scheme of things. We are all in this as one "family" ( be it a happy family or not) and these decisions have a profound impact on many. Hang in there peeps;))Quote:

How does that help with the current conversation?Quote:

But I see a pattern here, and I’m sad to say I think it’s gaining steam. Two active, vibrant forum communities got shut down and shifted to Reddit.
I will always be grateful for the friends I made here, and for the chance to have encountered wonderful people like our dear departed friend Woozle.
I posted a very similar comment in relation to the Clash boards as they were concerned too. My advice would be try not to use up valuable energy and emotion worrying about it and focus on plucking chickens, fattening calves, slow roasting lambs or whatever hardened Hay Dayers do on their sinister farmland. The future of the boards is beyond all of us and until I hear different I'm going to enjoy them as I always have.
What? Close down? I just got back! :facepalm:
Good advice, as always Holps. Tomorrow is not promised to any of us.Quote:

Excellent advice Perky and very happy to see you around again.
If the board dies, someone will make a new HD board.Quote:

Perhaps SC don’t feel the level of engagement of player with the forums makes them worth the effort/expense??
Perhaps player don't engage with the forum because SC don’t really engage with them on the forum either!
As a hood leader, the forum is an invaluable asset for me, I would miss it hugely if it closes:(
Are you hoping that one of us has the expertise to create a website to host discussion and the time and monies to donate for this endeavor?Quote:

It's Reddit or bust, sadly.
Yes i do, Lynn!Quote:

I have read the Clash Royale subforum recently and one of the top posts voted by its readers was a very adult joke not suitable for the family-friendly SC forums.Quote:

I think someone suggested slaughtering animals for food, but the idea was ruled out for the time being. So never say never.Quote:
