AHS Forum Status

[brener]

I hope we can find a way, this forum had been part of my life for so long now..

[revolution9292]

I'd be more than happy to contribute to maintain this server.

Any updates from Zef? If not I can definitely help with setting up a new environment for us (I work as a dev)

[holy_arrow]

As the one who works with Facebook, I suggest that we shouldn't use Fanpage/ group on FB as the new environment because FB has many policies that can make our group deactive immediately.
I prefer another forum for more friendly features, can someone set up the new forum first?
We will inform and ask the members move to the new forum from now on.
If this forum stop working, we can set up the data later.

I’m in the process of scraping all the data right now and porting them to a new environment

Thank you for your efforts!

I am not really an active poster anymore, but if it turned out the forum has to close or something, don't leave me behind lol Send me some email of post about it in the facebook group, so I can see

[ayu-michan]

If there is a new forum in development I'd be more than happy to contribute, like we can chip in donations to keep it running. This community is too important for me to lose

[lumieregrl]

I mostly lurk now, but it would be awful if AHS was gone.

[AyuCanada]

I rarely post, but I always like to come read once or twice a week about ayu stuff, and I would like to stay aware of what's going on with our beloved Ayu.

[URANUS]

We have one more month of this forum?

[lumieregrl]

Is there a link for the discord?

Yes, here it is!

If anyone has problems accessing the server through the link, please send a DM to me or Koumori.

And for those who are unfamiliar with Discord: please note that we will need to verify that you're a member of AHS before giving you access to the entire server. It might take a few minutes (or hours) depending on the staff's availability, but we'll get to you ASAP!

Usually the forum has gone down between October 2nd to October 6th in the past - I'm still unsure if someone has paid for the server without telling the current team in the meantime, but I thought I'd mention the vague timeline we have noticed in the past all the same.

[oaristos]

Since none of us have any idea about when (or if) the forum will go down, I highly suggest everyone saves things that are important to them. I imagine AHS is as important to most people as it is for me since there are posts here from when I was a literal teenager and I wouldn't want those to be lost forever.

So go through your stuff and make sure you save anything that you might want to keep for posterity.

And just to respond to some comments regarding a Facebook group: I don't think it's very viable since Facebook isn't most people's favorite platform as of late. Also, many fans wouldn't want to use their accounts full of personal information in there (at least I wouldn't).

I suggest people join the AHS Discord server for any updates. Even if you're a lurker and never say anything, that's where most of the conversations about Ayu and other Asian artists are happening. Also, the link will be unavailable to people once the forum goes down (unless you save it), so it's better to do it now before we lose contact with one another.

I don’t even know where to begin with AHS. There was actually another ayumi forum at first that I preferred to this one. AHS was my backup. But that one went belly-up and thereafter AHS became my bread an butter.

This forum — the news I gathered from it, the discoveries I made because of it, and the expressions of myself I was afforded by it — there are no words.

This space is a manifestation of my mind. I’m sure it is for all of us. The posts we silently read in our heads. The conversations we’ve all partaken in. All withIN us.
It’s SURREAL.

AHS, I love you.

Been here since 2005 and I can’t imagine it going away.
I remember being in middle school and signing up on our school computers because I didn’t have a computer or internet back in the day.
