EDIT (September 1st, 2025) : This edit comes way after this post was made (I just had thought/nostalgia about this event).. I just wanted to correct my past and say this info is not entirely accurate. There were other VPS plans (this graph was priced using Namecheap VPS which I simply would not recommend nowadays) and ways I just didn't have the experience or knowledge at the time. This whole website development/hosting has been great and gained me knowledge in much more about this stuff
Our forum will remain on XenForo until the foreseeable future, I just wanted to mention this lol..
Going to keep this post alive and here as an archive as this did still happen and take place here.
Thank you,

Hello Robloxians & Forumers alike,
After a lot of consideration and discussions with community members and other forumers online I have landed on the decision to migrate our forum from Discourse to XenForo. This is because years to come it will end up being cheaper to host and run for the community. Our monthly donation goal will drop from $12 to $10 (Not counting the one-time initial costs of using XenForo that’s an expensive endeavor
)| year | DISCOURSE | DISCOURSE TOTAL PAID | XenForo | XF TOTAL PAID | XF SAVINGS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $135.54 | $135.54 | $234.86 | $234.86 | -$99.32 |
| 2 | $135.54 | $271.08 | $61.86 | $296.72 | -$25.64 |
| 3 | $135.54 | $406.62 | $61.86 | $358.58 | $48.04 |
| 4 | $135.54 | $542.16 | $61.86 | $420.44 | $121.72 |
| 5 | $135.54 | $677.70 | $61.86 | $482.30 | $195.40 |
The migration will take place December 4th, 2024 @ 4:30pm est and downtime should last at most 1-2 days (News will be posted if issues occur) (During migration the forum will ofc be placed into read only mode for the time being)Questions and Answers
Will there be any loss in data?
All posts, replies, private messages and uploaded files transfer over however we will lose Chat History as XenForo doesn’t support itWill my password transfer?
You will most likely need to reset your password post migration to login again (you may reset the password to what it was before)Why software migration?
We are doing this for cheaper costs overtime and moving to a platform that is built more for communities rather than a premium company support forum feelFor if any issues, concerns or questions occur with this please don’t hesitate to reach out to me [email protected] or in our discord server
Thank you for using and supporting your independently owned and operated source of Roblox community. Your continued support is greatly appreciated! This is not the end we are just getting started… Cheers to many more!
Your very bloxy administrator and Owner,
~ ScrapBlox (Alec)
