Hello, please read this About me if you don’t mind and have time.

The forums you’rr currently on used to be different. They were like a bubble in the Hive community, separate, but still connected to the server. We had topics about basically anything, including giveaways, topics about Hive minigames even talks about hobbies and other media. Then everything changed. Now the amount of topics you can post is limited to only suggestions and bug reposts.

Why has it changed? Well the announcement I linked aboved pretty much lists all the reasons. I was one of the people who visited the forums more than the server - I had personal reasons (MC stopped working on my PC due to incompatibility) and I still visited the forums because it was, well, fun. I enjoyed the constructed and categorized discussion compared to the chaos of a discord server where 10 people can talk at once.

What bothers me the most to this day about this change is that all the old posts are all deleted. Interactions with friends, images shared, basically memories… just gone. Imagine if your or someones discord server or group chat got deleted. It’s like that.

I absolutely hated this change at first, I mean they could’ve locked and privated everything, but let people to still see these posts. That said, I can still “see” my old posts through the archive file, altough it’s limited to text and my posts only. And some people might’ve posted random stuff and they regret it now. It might be better that some stuff is gone now. Digital footprint is a thing after all.

That said, I still find the sudden, out of nowhere announcement about the deletion to be very scummy on Hive’s part. This place made the covid quarantine very enjoyable for me and all the posts that are basically history are gone. All that remains are just memories of my own. And I bet more people could’ve enjoyed this place like we did, even if it’s not covid or quarantine anymore.

Anyways, that’s all I’ll mention here. You you can message me on discord if you’re interested or whatever (my username is core711). We also have a Forums Discord Server, altough it’s unnactive, but I can give you an invite if you seek anything.

That’s all from me. Thank you everyone that made this forums fun and I wish to everyone who’s reading this to also make good memories, on forums, the server, or on anything else, like I did. And make sure to archive the things you hold dear!

See ya

PS:
I’ll leave this message I wrote shortly after the topics got purged back in 2022. It’s very poorly formatted and outdated, but I won’t act like Hive and delete it.
