Q. What happened to the SMF forum?
A. There were many reasons to abandon the original forum:
1. Third-party code is a pain to integerate and maintain
2. There were two sessions active and the original forum used relatively weak hashing, storing it's own passwords despite these being the same as the main site
3. Spam (beans, eggs, and spam)
4. Upgrading the forum to work with PHP 7.2 was impractical
The list goes on but these are the main points.

Q. What about private messaging?
A. All private messages from the original forum have been stored. I will create a system soon for PM based on the current visitor messaging system and restore all previous messages for all users

Q. But... The formatting here sucks!
A. That's not a question. You're right though. I will eventually revamp our forum and discussion afterwards sections to be more aesthetically pleasing.

Q. Where's the general section? Offtopic? General chat?
A. Um... I'll sort it. Previous messages once again have been stored and will be restored. If you need anything in the meantime visit our IRC channel and PM me there otherwise find my contact details in the relative section and send me a message that way.

Q. When's the next challenge then?
A. Shush tehron.
