Minecraft Forums shutting down

[lehjr 6]

For those that haven't seen this, next month MinecraftForums.net will be archived and will become read only, effectively shutting down. I know it doesn't directly affect Forge, but it does affect the community since many modders still connect with their audience there.

That coud lead to an increased amount of user traffic. I'm curious.
