extremely sad! 😭 I guess it's an end of an era. It was great meeting all of you and engaging with this community! If any of you want to still stay in contact I frequent the scene nodes discord, cinema4d discord, arnold render discords... HappyPolygon and Hrvoje thanks for everything! Corebot, be proud that you managed to stick it out for so long in an era where social media dominates the community engagement on the internet. You actually managed to last longer than CG Society forums and that place was bustling back in the day! 20+ years is a long time and many platforms and businesses barely last that long. So you did well 🙂

I'm shocked ! Is anyone interested in creating a Discord or other cheaper even free type of forum and move the content there ? I never knew the monthly or annual expenses of this forum. It could be nice if we had a donation bar on the top, like wikipedea or other startups have. It seems to have a psychological drive on people. Did we ever have that ?

Sorry to hear that, i helped few times when i could. these days everyone is expecting freebies except when it comes to their own time and resources...

Dear members and friends With great sadness in our heart we are announcing the closing of the forum. After more than 20 years (formerly also as C4D Cafe) we reached the end of the road. The reason is that we simply can't cover expenses anymore. Forum and whole platform, including creation of Youtube training and plugins was relying on ads and volunteer based subscription. We removed ads on your request and also disabled direct advertising. The huge rise in memberships simply did not increase the subscription count, 98% of members are not subscribed and have never subscribed to support the community. We are not able to pay for dedicated server, additional security and spam defense, management of huge database of scenes and posts, moderation, creation of plugins and Youtube training content. Unfortunately we were also not able to make a deal with potential sponsor and simply reached the end of the line. Forum will go offline on October 1st. Massive thanks to all the subscribed members and ones who helped with donations and their time, endlessly trying to keep the original C4D community alive, you guys know who you are. Times are changing and we have to move on. All the subscribed members will get cancellation of subscription at the end of the month. Good luck to you all! With Regards Rob & CORE4D staff
