Obsidian Entertainment Forums Shutting Down?

Obsidian Entertaiment’s Feargus Urquhart posted a statement on the company’s official message board announcing that their forums will be shutting down in the near future, due to the lack of a community manager. It sounds like it may just be temporary, but a permanent closing is still possible:

I have personally gotten a lot of e-mail lately about the fact that I have not been posting a lot and neither has much of anyone else from Obsidian. We all have our excuses; one of mine is that my wife and I had our second child recently.

Our largest problem is that we do not have a full time community manager here at Obsidian who can answer questions for most of the day and handle posters that are only trying to disrupt discussion.

So, unfortunately, we are considering closing the forums either temporarily until we can afford to hire a community manger or possibly permanently.

We should be making the decision within the next week.

Sincerely,

Feargus Urquhart
CEO
Obsidian Entertainment, Inc.
