According to the wiki for the moshi forums, the Freeze lasted two months, and is evidently the longest 'crash' the site's ever had. Using the term 'crash' really loosely here, since this isn't teeeechnically a crash, we've got the Freeze beat by a month. In fact, yesterday would be the three-month 'anniversary' of everything being put into 'read-only' mode. So, congrats, I guess? We made three months without the forums, which means we've gone three months without talking to some of our friends. About now would be when the Christmas layout would be on - y'know, with the blue and red and the penguins, the snow. But we did it, if this is anything really close to an accomplishment. We made three months, and haveeen't really totally lost it. So, yeah.
While I'm at it, it's been a little while since I contacted staff and actually got a response. I haven't tried again since, and if I had to guess I'd say it's been maaaaybe a month? I was wondering if anyone would like me to try again, see if I get another response. Could get something more this time, maybe they'll have an idea on when things'll be up again. Would anyone want me to give it a go?

And, while were into forum facts, here's one for you:
If you go on the wiki, the first trivia fact states "The forums were redesigned on 7th December, 2011. The update proved negative with majority of the community as there was no search option and all forums made before then were deleted." Sound familiar? I have a theory. Reading that makes me think, could it be possible they're just redesigning the forums again?. Before you go on and say "well, its been so long, I don't think so," you are correct, it has been awhile, but also remember, working with digital pixels and coding can take awhile, and we don't have any idea of what they could be doing, so depending on what they're planning, do you guys think it may be just another redesign? Could it be possible staff are just redesigning the forums again? I guess we'll have to wait and see....

ACTUALLY that's what I've always assumed was happening? we were told the forums needed an 'overhaul' and that's what's happening now. the definition of overhaul is to examine something and make changes and repairs if necessary - the forums did have a few glitches ((as i'm sure you all will remember)) and i feel like those glitches won't be there once we get back to being able to use the forums. it wouldn't surprise me if the glitch that let you stick two words together was gone when things get back up and running. and also, the way i was contacting staff was through the help section, and i'm thinking i might be able to get another reply if i go about things the same way i did last time :0

I expected they meant redesign by "overhaul," including all the coding stuff Honestly........ I'm just sad that they're probably gonna delete all the old threads. there was some stuff there i would've liked to see again, a last-ditch attempt to save some info like with my old computer haha.

I always thought they were adding a ton to the filter or something.,

Even if they do bring the forums back, they might make it to where it's impossible to chat. I mean, it was very difficult to chat before with random words added to the filter, but they'll probably either add half of the words that ever existed to the filter or make it one of those chats where you can't say anything,but there's a list of things no one in real life says hat you click on.

What if they make the forums like the lego forums...
where all your threads and comments have to be heavily moderated which takes hours by a staff member before its even displayed of the forums themselves :/

Honestly, the way I see it, there are only a couple of results. -Moshi's overhaul results in it being geared towards a MUCH younger audience. Forums are deemed unnecessary and removed entirely. -Moshi's overhaul results in a very heavily moderated forum. Immediate replies are obsolete and have to go through hours of mod checks. If not that, filter somehow becomes even more ridiculous. -Moshi's overhaul changes something ridiculously small, tumblr style, and everyone flips their lids (except the one person who's like "We should be grateful they didn't do anything bad").

They've been closed for three months, I don't think it's something small.
