In light of the intense clamor following our announcement of an imminent closure of the forum, the Corvus Belli team have decided to heed the voice of the Infinity community. This means the two Official Forums (international and Spanish-language) will remain open and active as official hubs for players and fans.

We at CB are moved by the reaction of the community, which demonstrates your concern for Infinity as a game and as a hobby whose dimension transcends the game table. That so many of you would feel so deeply involved with the Infinity universe and its community is immensely gratifying to us, as it reflects our own feelings about this game.

We initially felt that closing the forums was a regrettable but necessary decision, but your strong opposition has convinced us that we must find another way. The forums will remain open, but some technical readjustments will be forthcoming in order to guarantee the smooth running of the website despite its massive traffic.

Our reversal does not in any way mean that we withdraw our support of the data-sphere.net and infinitywarcors.com forums. On the contrary, we believe the Infinity community deserves quality alternate spaces to grow and communicate freely, and we will endeavor to provide these forums with all our help and support.

Additionally, we emphasize that the performance of data-sphere.net or infinitywarcors.com has not affected our decision. In fact, we apologize to them for this step back and appreciate the work they have been doing these past few weeks to welcome Infinity community.

How am I meant to get my whisky back from the floor into my bottle now?

(note I didn't do this literally, it's a reference to a penny arcade comic back from when SNK closed down)

I am really surprised and happy about this decision by CB!

I was shocked when I read about them closing their forums, and it is refreshing to see a company respond to its fans.

However, I hope this means that they're thinking about moderating their forums a bit...more...now too?

INFINITYis growing - it is a good time to be a fan!

Did you really retype this or did you just copy and paste it from the rumor thread

Haha.. I wanted to say it twice too actually!

I will still post predominantly on Dakka, but it's great to have the other option there (they need to update their bloody fan-made missions resource though! )

The official forums were just one place I went anyway.

I don't get my gaming news from one source.

The good news in that announcement is that they will moderate them a little better.
(because FoS doesn't count on a private board, especially one in a different country).

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

I copypasta'd it!

Expanding a bit on that - they do need to 'moderate' it better, but I can appreciate just how difficult a task taht can be at times.

I wish them the best of luck, and look forward to popping in now and again over there!

Excellent, that's some real loyalty they have to their customers. Too many businesses expect customers to bring all the loyalty to the relationship.

20% price rise on all products to "help offset additional costs due to increased server bandwidth for the official forums" incoming in 3...2...1...

Hah! Apparently I got a warning notice since I included no capital letters in that sentence.

Like watching other people play video games (badly) while blathering about nothing in particular? Check out my Youtube channel: joemamaUSA!

Of course there's still Data Sphere, if you're looking for a stable and moderated Infinity forum (and third party terrain manufacturers!).

I'm just glad the 'Official' forum is sticking around.
