:warning: Links inside this topic are in French :fr: Hi! I created in 2018 a discussion on another popular video game forum (Canard PC), where I suggested a migration from their vBulletin to a modern platform. I talked about Discourse since I already had prior experience. Users didn’t seem to be …

Just to update this topic… Went to their forum recently, and it’s pretty active. I guess things have changed? Anyway, their forum is in very good health, with new messages posted almost every minute during the day. https://www.gamekult.com/forum/latest <a class="lightbox" href="https://d11a6trkgmumsb.cloudfront.net/original/4X/f/9/0/f9000aefeb08c5cb4917a027101e91fc20cf500c.png" data-download-href="/uploads/short-url/zwKYRyVef90mR3xqg7HDgLjZbB2.png?dl=1" title="The image shows a forum page detailing game discussions, posts, and user activity for a variety of video game topics, featuring a menu bar with categories like categories, favorites, forums, news, game charts, podcasts, and an active poll at the top.
