Maybe it’s me, but I feel like I saw less familiar faces in the Horizon 4 Forums at launch. It felt like there were a lot more people passing through. On the Horizon 5 Forums, on the other hand, it feels like the same twenty-five people or so now, and I can’t shake off the feeling that everyone has argued, agitated, and ridiculed each other at least once, or have been censored or had a thread they started closed at least twice.
Most of the active Forza community discussion has likely moved to the Forza Discord server. Activity here on the Forza forums has been on the decline for years.
Humoured myself earlier and checked out the discord, went to the general FH5 discussion text channel and it’s basically a disorganised mess with people spamming random stuff and no way to follow a conversation easily. Shame the forums died.
Typical forum, stale as hell… but then someone tries to post a new thread, it gains traction, gets people talking… then a mod blows through for no reason other than to move the thread and lock it… then disappear like a f art in the wind.
Kinda lame and you wonder why people disappear - this forum is a ghost town for real… complete with tumbleweeds blowing through the barren wasteland of old posts.
