Everytime I open the forum, which is quite a lot, I used to see "Ask a Dev" thread being pinned and on top and it was depressing. The devs abandoned that amazing thread a long long time ago and it was making me sad everytime I open the forum. In fact, if Ask a Dev wasn’t there, I wouldn't even have become an active member in the forum. When I started the game and reached the forum, Ask a Dev was a thing and Burza used to reply every day (and multiple times in a day). It was such a friendly environment to get response from the devs directly for your doubts.
For the past 6 months (or more), the interactions started dwindling response frequency became lesser and lesser. And once in a few months someone will ask "Is this thread dead?" and within a few days one of the random question will be answered. This was going on for sometime and the last time this question was asked was months ago and even after that question no response came. It was a worrying sign. Just for the past few days I was thinking of creating a thread to ask the members if they would want to have this thread active or not (a poll or something) which may make that thread active once again.
But as I open the forum now, that thread is no longer pinned!. It is a clear message that 'That thread is dead and no long monitored or tracked or will be responded by the devs'. I actually welcome it. It should have been done months ago when devs lost interest in responding to the members. But I wont blame the devs for this decision. Most of the questions are some angry rant which doesn't warrant a proper response. Some are simply complaints and some are suggestions. So, it is natural that the devs can't just pick one unanswered post there and respond when there are twenty or more other suggestions/rants/complaints.
Ask A Dev will always be a special thread for me, as, it is one of the reasons, I felt more connected to the Game itself. RIP Ask a Dev thread!
