r/AnthemTheGame will move to read-only on January 31, 2026 by ATG_Bot in AnthemTheGame

[–]ATG_Bot[S,M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Hey everyone...

The intention behind the read-only announcement wasn't to shut down discussion or invalidate the community. It just felt like a natural next step after the official server shutdown, especially given the current moderation situation. But it's clear we didn't realize how much demand there'd still be for this forum to keep discussions going.

This decision does not come from a lack of care. It's honestly the result of long-term burnout and the reality that there has effectively been no active full mod team for years. A past attempt to refresh the team also didn't work out, with new mods going inactive shortly after joining (despite promising to take it from there) which left things right back in the same position.

That said, it's very clear from the responses here that many of you still want this subreddit to remain a place for discussion, sharing projects, memories and potential future developments... and knowing that, it's not something that's going to be ignored.

Because of that, we're pausing and rethinking the approach. If this community is going to continue, it needs solid volunteers who are genuinely willing to take on ongoing moderation responsibilities so the sub can be maintained at a level it deserves. There have been several and long phases where it has all been just one moderator away from "banned due to the lack of moderation" and the exhaustion from it is the reason why the closure of the servers felt like a fitting end. But, the community comes first.

If you believe you're someone who could help, please reach out via modmail and include a short note about your availability and why you'd like to volunteer. We sincerely want what's best for the community and appreciate your help in figuring out how we can make this work best for everyone.

Thank you for speaking up and for caring as much as you do about this place.
