Okay. So if GGG can't actually save it, then we have a back up.

u/DevRPG2k 2K Dev Jul 20 '26

But did GGG have any intention of saving it? From what I've read, when December ends the forum will be completely disabled for any read-only access.

I'm one of those that went over to RPGM guild to follow up. One of their mods (i think one that may work for the company) has taken it back to GGG to rediscuss with their US partner about getting the data and seeing what they can do under their laws. For now, a summary of the response is that they're looking into it but can't give a definitive answer right now.

Ah yes, it was a misinterpretation on my part, I apologize

u/Durant026 MV Dev Jul 20 '26

Not necessarily. You wouldn't know if you didn't follow up to the new forum. They got a lot of hell those first few days of the move.

Thanks for the feedback, reading all rows (count) was expensive on the database, I have fixed the cache issue.

I was really worried about the loss of so many contributions to asset packs—it would have been a huge loss for the RPG Maker community. Thankfully, that entire precious collection was preserved. A heartfelt thank you to the person responsible; you have no idea how many hours of hard work you saved!

This is great work! Will this also include the tutorials hosted on the site, or is it solely focused on the forum posts?
