Wizards of the Coast Community Forums to be Shut Down

WotC has announced that it will be closing its forums. They will close on October 29th.

Choosing to retire a former foundation of our community was not an easy decision, but we feel that we must adjust our communications structure to reflect where conversations about Wizards of the Coast games are taking place.

 

They go onto to say

Social media has changed significantly over the last ten years, and discussions about games aren’t exclusive to company-hosted forums. The majority of community conversation takes place on third-party websites (such as Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and many other fantastic community-run websites), and it is up to us to evolve alongside our players.

 

This makes sense in a way to me. We all know how Social Media has blown up in the past few years. If used correct that is.

Did you use the WTOC Forums? Sad to see them go?
