Are those forums done for?

As in the sense of, does anybody still visit this place?
I tried checking the Episodes section and there's just topics from years ago but barely any actual new episodes.

I haven't been here for a loooong time, so I have no idea of what happened, but it saddens me to see nobody online :(

Don't worry, we still have plenty of people who post here in the different subforums. Mostly to post new Lua codes and levels, but the forums aren't dead. When it comes to episodes, they're not easy to make. Episodes require significantly more effort than a typical level. Plus, they have much higher standards than making a standalone level. If you're looking for activity, I recommend checking the SMBX Discord.

Thanks! That was a pretty quick answer :D
Also, now that I'm at it, why did several buttons at the top of the website disappear? I remember more pipes with stuff like Episodes and Graphics on it, and they had recent content as well, so I wonder what was the reason.

Little to no need to update them I suppose. The graphics especially haven't received in an update in about 3 years.

I think it's evident enough that "all those old episodes" just come up because Eclipsed keeps posting playthroughs.

And yeah the pipes were dropped for reasons of inactivity.

I've started being more active on discord as opposed to the forums, since I'm able to do what whatever I want on my phone now without anybody snooping around. I do go on here and check out what's new in terms of projects, levels, and episodes, even though I can do that on the discord server. Once I have my own computer though, I'm definitely going to record gameplay of levels and stuff I'm interested in seeing. The forums aren't dead; it's just that people are more consistently active over on discord.
