A lot needs to be done to the Forza Feedback Portal.

That what I was expecting after their Launch of the new Feedback Hub… I remember being on there when it First launched, but time has moved on and Forums are dying left and right due to high costs (often due to Crawlers that Multiply the request 100-fold)…

Rest in spaghetti, never forgetti 😪

All jokes aside, that's genuinely sad. I've visited the Forza Forums regularly since 2009. With that said, I've actually preferred the forums here on GTPlanet, to discuss FM23 and FH6, during the last few years.

The official Forza Forum has become increasingly toxic in my opinion. Especially the FM23-section. When they scrapped the Forza Insider/Playtesting section last year I just didn't find much reason to visit anymore.

Here on GTPlanet the discussions have a tendency to be more productive, nuanced and not all doom and gloom all the time. So I'm quite happy to be a Forza fugitive here, with the rest of you ❤️

Damn, i think i've only posted there a few times but i remember being super glued to the photomode thread on there before FM3 released.

There's a lot of content there and they should archive it not right down delete it.

The official Forza forum had a change in software somewhere between FM4 and 5 I think it was, and it was a lot less user friendly than the FM2/3/4 days, when I was really active on it. I've largely been exclusive to this forum in all that time since.

Were you VXR Stu back then?

Not many OG painters left from that era.

No, I was The CSL, and then Motor Forum after my first 360 was stolen in a burglary. I was a painter, but never got to the technical level of yourself, Abgraphics etc.

AB’s work was always great.

It’s no real loss for me. I preferred to be on forzacentral until it shut down. I tried to get into the official forums after that but didn’t enjoy it anywhere as much. I miss that place and it’s healthy discussions (not just about Forza but other racing games too). GTPlanet has been my go to for some years now.

A week to go. It’s gonna be a long week haha

I was a member on the forums for a very long time, since the FM3 or FM4 days I believe and I was fairly active. Once the forums changed to the new format I wasn't nearly as active and it became increasingly more toxic, then I started coming here more and more often. I usually bounced between the forums, here and ForzaCentral.

Still sad to see it go though, lots of great memories there, back in the days when Heiro and Dragnet were mods.

i wonder if the toxicty outside the car voting area of the forums was the reason why staff decided for shut down the forums
i often only focused on the suggestions hub area only just beacuse the rest of game was basically people being toxic try hards or complaning about how forza was worst vs Motorsport 4

 

[Populuxe]

I just checked their forum for the first time in over a year. My first post was in 2014, and I’ve got less than a hundred posts in those twelve years. To be honest, I didn’t need that forum when I had this one. But it still had its uses, so it’s sad they’re shutting it down. A lot of community knowledge is going to be lost. Also, I just prefer forums to anything else. Twitter, Bluesky, Mastodon, Discord, you name it, forums are better.

 

[JPinto]

GTPlanet is now all that remains from the 'classic' social media...Forzacentral was the first major blow. I guess Discord is the main focus now, but it's still a shame, the current FM forums had a nice updated layout I found myself coming back lately...

 

[Tomo 427-MS]

Man I used to go on there all the time back in the day. Haven't in a long time as I just use here now, but I'll never forget being able to use the Forza 2 auction house on the Forza Website too. That was the coolest thing.

(I'm that internet old )

 

[sirjim73]

I too stopped visiting the forum once the playtests ended.

It feels like
is gradually turning into the "last man standing".

Thank god for @Jordan and the team!!!

I will NEVER sign up for Twatter or any of the other social media platforms.

I don't know what it says about me that this is the only page I thought to archive before the axe falls:

Tired of this forum's toxicity? We can help

I know, I know, you’re tired of seeing us point out the obvious problems with this game. So here are places where you, my fellow Forza Horizon 5 enthusiast, might feel more at home. The official Forza server: Forza Official Lots of kids there who share your passion for the game. FailRace’s...

Probably, that I'm a delusional fanboy.

And me.
Ive tried to access the forum,I know its closed but I assumed we would be able to access to read older posts but not post.Shows how much I know.
To add,that blue font on a black background is hard work on my eyes.

 

[PJTierney]

So that’s it then.

@ManteoMax, thanks for putting up with us for so long
