What happened to forums?

The disclaimer says that these are old forums and that there will be new forums (or that's what my imperfect English tells me)... but the disclaimer was put a year ago and the link is a red link. What forums were supposed to be there?

Per the site notice:

We are aware that the forum is unreachable at the moment. There is a security issue, and there is no ETA for when (or if) a patch will be ready. In the meantime, the old forums are still available.

This was revealed in August 2023, and as yet there is no solution to the major security risk (their words, not ours) in the WikiForum extension, and it is uncertain if there ever will be. At this time we are using our old forums instead.

Ok, thank you.

How about a "general fiction board"?

Honestly, sorting fiction talk by media is pretty arbitrary. When we're discussing ideas, themes, or even tropes in fiction, the discussion is not usually media-specific. Take, for example, the discussion about utopias. I put it in the "Literature" forum because it started with George Orwell, and literature is what he was most known for, but ultimately what we discussed there is relevant to utopia in any medium.

There are no older topics
