News / Official Fallback Forum
« on: June 28, 2025, 10:52:34 am »
A temporary/fallback forum is now available in the event VGCollect is down or otherwise not accessible.
https://tripredacus.net/forum/index.php
This forum is actively managed by myself and has public status sections for the three websites that I am providing temporary forums for.
The fallback boards are not visible to the public and are not segregated, meaning if you can see a board, you can post in it if you want.
The sections will always be open, even if the hosted site has an Up status.
VGCollect and Neo-Geo are facing the same issues right now where AI bots are exhausting server resources and bringing the site down or making it slow.
Some of you already know about the Neo-Geo forum, so you may not want to go into that section which is fine.
This forum is not intended to, nor can it replace VGCollect forum.
It is also not meant to be a replacement for other unmanaged or unofficial meatup destinations such as any Discord channels, Steam or Facebook groups.
It simple is a place to go in case there is a problem or you want to get info about whatever might be happening.
I have limited reach with my X account in communicating issues.
This is not an indication that there is any longevity issue with VGCollect.
The forum uses a newer version of the SimpleMachines forum software that you are using here so the transition shouldn't be difficult.
Whether you decide to register on it or not is up to you.
This post is just to make you aware that it exists.
You choose your own level of involvement.
If you decide to register, you should edit your profile to put your VGCollect name in the appropriate profile field. Doing so will cause a VGCollect icon appear on your info card when you post in a thread.
