The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Deadline end of year
Griffyn612:
Everyone needs to remember that Iago's original purpose for the boards is different from what we use them for.
For RPG, it's apparently inefficient. There are better things out there. He wants to try them.
For info on the series, there are other places, such as FB, Reddit, and the Wiki.
As a gateway for JB to interact with the fans, it's no longer ideal. He rarely interacts here. Instead, he uses Reddit, like other authors.
Iago is paying for and supporting a site that no longer holds any purpose for him. Why should he spend money and time on it?
He's been courteous enough to give us time to find alternatives. If he'd wanted to, he could have just shut the site down. We need to appreciate that.
Another thing to note, at least to me, is the silence from many of the moderators. Some have spoken up, but others have not. It makes me wonder if it's more than just Iago who's tired.
groinkick:
No promises but I am talking to a friend of mine to help me with the computer side of setting up a forum while I'm inquiring about the financial requirements. I'm curious if the people on the board want an all around Jim Butcher board, or a forum focused mostly on just the Dresden Files?
Also about Forum conduct. Would people like the more strict guidelines for this forum, or would they like things to be loosened up a bit?

Moderating can be a lot of effort but it is one of the things that makes this site what it is and I do understand that the effort that goes into the site must be justified. The sign on the wall was already there when Jim himself used the forum less and less.

We don't need a Forum to do it, and we can put WOJ collection and some other References there using the Malazan wiki as a guide.

I would say a Dresden heavy forum. Maybe a sub-section for non-dresden works and another subsection like the bar.
