To kick off the New Year, the forums are closing. For now registration has been disabled and most members will find themselves unable to post (though some in special groups can still post, though I recommend not).

I care a lot about archivism so while I want to not be maintaining a forum no one uses just to patch security holes, I will be leaving the software up while I prepare a static backup.  If you have any precious moments in your PMs or non-public boards, -back them up now-. You'll likely have a number of months to do this but rather safe than sorry.

edit: I got a static page up over here. http://kayin.pyoko.org/iwbtg/static/forums/ Feel free to check it out and make sure everything works fine. If something isn't working right, message me on twitter or shoot me an email. Plan right now is to take the forums down completely at the end of the month.

This was a great place, Kayin. Thanks for facilitating Excellent® memories. Maybe I'll actually jump on the goddamn Discord now.

Thank you for making an effort to archive things Kayin. I'd hate to find the forums lost entirely. (Although the static backup is actually a 404 right now.)

It's been a wild ride. IWBTG and the community was actually a pretty significant thing in my life.

If anyone wants to contact me, add:
shanee@ifnotequal.com
or
+447881 286708 (WhatsApp or SMS)

Goodbye everyone. I'll miss you...

I just got out of the hospital a couple weeks ago and have been staying with my sister so I figured I'd come see what's up and the condition of this place. I spent over a decade in and out of this place and have considered some of you guys genuine friends and helped me out in times where my mental health or life situations werent going so well.(unfortunately still the case) But I want to thank every one of you (except lolgaymer) and would list off all the amazing changes you guys have made to my life and how at one point this was my favourite way to spend my time. After school playing forum mafia, the 2009-2011 era for me was some of my best memories of being apart of an online community. There have been a couple others I've been a part of, but this one actually lasted much longer and is actually the first forum I ever joined. I know theres a dischord or whatever but when I was in the hospital i lost my apartment because the landlord didn't get paid so they threw most of my shit out as well as stole most of my valuables including smart tv but still got my switch and ps4, with half the games. also they stole one of the switch joy-cons which is the most fucked up stupid ass thing to do steal both or none not just one just infuriates me at the stupidity. At any rate this isn't a life update but a goodbye. So could by kayin.pyoko.org/iwbtg/forums, you will never leave me and the relationships ive made with you guys seem more genuine than most of anyone i know in real life. Thank you Kayin, for creating an amazing game that attracted such an amazing group of people with similar interests that genuinely care for one another. I honestly wish i could go back to the old days when everyone was active everyday and shenanigans were always to be had. Along with Shane, I'll leave my current contact info which doesn't consist of much, I may update with a phone number if I'm able too.

The best way to get ahold of me is either my email: Taylorashlock@gmail.com    or facebook Cloud Ashlock. the one with a picture of me not the other one.

Anyways, i suppose I'll browse for another hour an nostalgia harder than ever before. Love you guys

edit:If anyone can shoot me the dischord again via one of my accounts via fb or gmail I'd appreciate it. Guess this is my final post. Goodbye

Truly a very sad day, I'll miss this place, for a time it was an amazing to come too and hang out in, even if I didn't post as much as most. Always used as a source for finding interesting and unique fangames, and really haven't found a place that's felt like this did since it went silent. Ah well, all good things must come to an end eventually, I'll still hang around once in a blue moon to see when the ax has officially dropped. Peace out everyone! Keep trying to reach that one last save block!
