I wanted to leave forums because of that too. But then I just understood that there is no need in taking these dramas that serious - so right now every time I see a drama unfolding, it is just another circus from my point of view. Although if you really plan on leaving in that time - then go ahead, man, hope you have a good rest from all of these.
I'm watching beamng on yt since 2016 i have the game since late 2020 and im on the forums since 2021 its just sad how this evolved. From cameral forum to forum with: spam bots, stolen mods, dumbass kids and paid meshslaps
It's even more sad when you think about how lively the forums used to be. there used to be so many mods and other stuff. Now, it's just scams, meshslaps, stolen mods and just too many people not of age to sign up here. I'll be on here until late next year.
I am here for sentiment (i grew up with creators like Kryton, Insanegaz and YBR) and see if there are mods that were abandoned and remade and some literally good mods that are made for fun not money (like Autobello Aria, KLJP etc.)
I've also considered leaving the forums, not just because of all the drama, but also just the fact that the quality of posts has just gone down. Back in 2023 and 2024, modders were making super high quality mods and pushing the envelope of what could be done. In late 2024 and early 2025 there was some pretty funny shitposting and in-jokes in the off-topic forum that distracted me from the flaws of this forum. Nowadays, there's only a few modders besides the overwhelming amount of rebadges, meshslaps, and other low quality mods made by kids who think they can make an entire mod in a few hours. Most of the people on the off-topic forums moved on and touched some grass, barely posting anymore because of how far downhill this forum has gone, and now I'm burnt out of BeamNG and really sim racing altogether.
There is another reason on why I’m leaving the Forums. This reason is a bit of a more shocking one that I’ll talk more whenever I’ll announce that I’m leaving the Forums.
I also remember the person who made the lore friendly late 80s to early 90s mustang mod. I tried going into making mods for Beamng a few years ago. I started with a first gen Dodge Dakota but, It was too hard for me. I have massive respect for everyone here and hope everything gets cleared out some day. Until then, I'll be silent on the forums for a while.
