AtegonThe godot community forums are closed
crittecolListen, these are serious claims against the Godot foundation, the core team, and W4. If they’re true, I could maybe see shutting down the forum as protest. But this can also seem like the forum owner trying to hush the community and control the conversation.
If we consider some mismanagement without any outright wrongdoing, closing the forum stops us from talking about these issues which doesn’t make much sense. There’s also chatter about passing ownership of the forum in the middle of the thread, which makes me wonder why they’d close the forum at all.
Bilb!Nothing about what they described seemed to support the claim that Godot, or even Godot’s fundraising practices, is a scam. People respectfully point this out multiple times and the only response is basically “I already explained it to you. Prove me wrong.” It’s vexing to read.
Couldn’t agree more, this only hurts the community members.
I only meant that even if their evidence and conclusion wasn’t paper thin this course of action still doesn’t make any sense. So for me their claims and actions are pretty much completely without merit. And there was already plenty of level headed pushback even in that thread.
Glad you brought up the demo, that was fucking bizarre. As if a proof of concept with no supporting details is all you need to completely understand the development and concerns of a massive codebase that is one of the most compatible, and most usable out there. Two qualities that tend to complicate things dev wise.
