I tried to create a new topic in FH5 Discussion, but I couldn’t find a way to.
Click here: FH5 Discussion
Then click on the blue “New Topic” button on the top right below your forum icon. If you can’t see that, have you created a thread before? Check your forum page to see your current status. If that checks out, message T10ManteoMax, as he looks after this for Turn 10.
I tried. The button doesn’t let me click it for some reason.
Try rebooting your console or PC. If that doesn’t work, message Max.
I found a discussion in the Motorsport threads that may be similar to what you’re experiencing:
There have been changes to the forum whereby new posts are seemingly vetted, supposedly to tidy up the forum. Last time they ‘cleaned’ it up, traffic died noticably.
Yeah, the new set up was supposed to avoid duplication because I think they wanted people to respond to similar posts from years ago rather than create a fresh new one. You basically have to “ask permission” to post something there and if they deem it worthy, they’ll either post it for you or merge it with an old post that needs the dust blown off of it. . Honestly, I just feel like it’s stifling user participation and a lot are either confused or feel it’s not worth the hassle.

Hm, so it’s only the FH5/FM2023 Discussion subforums that are affected.
And by “tidy up” they mean “control all of the discussion”.
Anything critical of the game or pointing out blatant cheating gets combined with long dead topics or deleted outright. If they put half the effort into fixing their games that they do into removing wrongthink from the forums, there would probably be far fewer complaints for them to delete.

They’re literally doing the same thing on Steam, deleting threads or hiding them.
(and as an added bonus, labeling anyone calling them out on it as “spam” in an effort to get those users banned from the Steam community chat)
At some point it would have to be easier to just fix the game.
