Where do we go for Godot help now that the forum is closing? (staff edit: it's not closing)

I'm a new user & need some hand-holding!

Ideally to the new forum! :)

But there are other places to go for Godot help. There is the official Discord, Facebook, Reddit and more. You can find a full list of community pages here!

(I cannot say what the others are like though. I've only used these forums and twitter for Godot related stuff)

Read the sticky thread the discussion is happening in there for now.

edit: TL;DR: the forums going to be fine.

Yes, apologies for the scare - it looked for a good day or so that forum was going to perish due to a lack of funding from the official Godot team, and my all-too-limited bank account. However, @Megalomaniak knew some people that offered to host the forum so that it won't die, and in the meantime I can attempt to talk to the Godot team now that I have more time and see if they can provide the financial means to run the forum in the future.

So the forum moved hosts, and is NOT dying! We're all going to be fine. :sunglasses:

Megalomaniak

Yeah, well. I still think we might be better off setting up a separate Patreon for the forum, could even have special tags next to post-count for Patreon supporters. OTOH if I understood Kiori right the Engine team was willing to consider it at some point however their concern is that it needs someone exactly like Ra(who saved us this time) with proper sysadmin/backend development skills to actively maintain the project(forum).

I believe that's correct, yes - so we would need to find someone who could do that and wouldn't mind devoting time to it.
