2023-11-03 Some Forum Updates

Hey all,

Happy November!

We’re almost done with our forum cleanup. As a result, we’re able to move the forum to a cheaper plan in Discourse. Because of this, some of the following changes will take place:

  • We will no longer have Icebreaker bots. You’re welcome to browse through some of the older icebreaker questions and interact there, but we’ll have to take a break with posting new icebreaker questions (both manually and through the bot) for a while.

  • The leaders from the @Leaders team will not be able to see post edit history, so please be understanding if your questions/requests may take a bit longer. The moderators in the leaders team will still be able to see them and help answering the questions you don’t want to post publicly. This limitation with our tools is not ideal, but rest assured the entire leaders team is always working hard to make sure you’re not left hanging!

We’re very grateful to have this community of Hopscotchers, and I hope that these changes would be minimal to your forum experience. I would like to also give a shoutout to the @Leaders team for all the hard work they’ve done to keep this forum a safe space.

That’s it for now - happy hopscotching!

Seeing as the northern hemisphere is currently going into the winter, how do you think this will affect the response times for ships that get stuck frozen at sea/lake? :thinking:

It’s probably not going to happen in the near future but it is possible for us to upgrade again later.
