Redfeather.6401 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 It's funny, as I saw a topic on reddit asking why the GW2 forum was so dead. People looking up GW2 forum on google will find the old one and it doesn't make the game look lively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawdler.8521 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I never did understand Anets reasoning for not simply archiving the old forum directly (ie move the entire old forum) and replace it on the same url. Guess it was easier to test and implement this way, but still, awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
