HiRez has made poor decisions before, but deciding to close their official forums? That's low. Giving us 24 hour notice? Even lower. Trying to tell us to just use Reddit? Almost as bad as sending us to 4chan. They completely screwed over a portion of their fanbase and don't even have the courtesy to stay with their broken down ship.
Thankfully the Staff members of the Vault have open arms! We are ecstatic to let the drowning players from that sinking ship come aboard. Our home is your home, fellow Smiters. The Vault may not be just a Smite forum like you're used to, but we have a great community awaiting you. We have TF2 servers, Gmod Theatre, Mumble, TeamSpeak and more. A truly great community that only wants to see you have a place to feel at home and chat about your favorite games.
